R&D Tax Credits for the
Contract Manufacturing Industry

The perception that contract manufacturers don’t qualify for the R&D tax credit due to their absence from final component design or because they are solely responsible for production, is often mistaken. Contract manufacturers frequently qualify for the research and development tax credit. This is due to their involvement in devising repeatable and highly complex production processes which necessitate extensive experimentation.

In addition, activities like the production of prototypes, first articles, and the validation of these components also qualify for the credit. With these types of projects, there are also opportunities to qualify raw material and component expenses allowing for businesses to offset the extensive investments they have and will be making in the future.
