R&D Tax Credit Pharmaceutical

R&D Tax Credits for the Pharmaceutical, Nutraceutical, Bioceutical Industry

The pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and bioceutical industry is ripe with opportunities to qualify for the R&D tax credit. The more evident areas of R&D include activities carried out by chemists, process engineers, and quality engineers.

However, it’s crucial to recognize the less obvious areas of R&D as well. These include secondary costs such as wages for support staff, computer leasing costs, and consumables or raw materials used within the development process.

A further underappreciated area is the time and expenses associated with batch formulations during the production scale-up process. The efforts invested in the production, testing, and validation of the initial production runs can qualify for the credit, especially when the formulation is new or has been modified. Thus, this credit becomes an important factor in offsetting the substantial investments these industries often make.
