R&D Tax Credits for the
Manufacturing and Distribution Industry

From its establishment in 1981, the R&D tax credit has primarily targeted the manufacturing sector. This incentive benefits a wide spectrum of manufacturers across the United States, ranging from those producing consumer goods, food items, medical products, electronics, pharmaceuticals, automotive goods, to those involved in furniture, heavy machinery, steel parts, and tool and die manufacturing.

Such companies engage in R&D activities as they strive to advance their products and manufacturing processes, crucial for maintaining competitiveness in their respective industries.

These companies are continually looking for ways to improve product designs and develop repeatable and highly complex production processes. Activities such as the production of prototypes, first articles, and component validation may also qualify for the credit.
