R&D Tax Credit TOOL and DIE

R&D Tax Credits for the Tool and Die Industry

Tool and die manufacturers stand in a unique position when it comes to R&D qualification, given their specialized role in designing components, namely tools and dies, integral to end product manufacturing. Irrespective of whether the company is exclusively engaged in tool and die design or is also involved in the production process, both areas have potential for qualifying R&D activities.

Such companies are often deeply involved in refining production processes, crafting programming, and validating components. The nature of their specialization within particular industry sectors allows them to design and create precision tools or casts used to mold parts from various materials.

For many tool and die companies, direct labor is often the most significant R&D expense. However, one of the advantages of the R&D tax credit is its inclusivity of materials and supply costs, which often encompass the cost of the tooling and dies themselves. Additionally, qualified expenses extend to consumable supplies used in the shop for creating prototypes, as well as those used in the validation process for new or modified products.
