R&D Tax Credits
Discover the Tax Value in Innovation
Turn Qualified Innovation Into Tax Opportunity.
Research and development can take many forms—from developing new products and software to improving existing processes, testing technical solutions, and overcoming engineering challenges. North Gravitas provides R&D tax credit services designed to help eligible businesses identify qualifying research activities and associated qualified research expenses, document the work appropriately, and navigate the federal research credit process.
The IRS generally applies a four-part test to determine whether research qualifies, including technological uncertainty, a permitted purpose, a process of experimentation, and an intended use in developing or improving a business component.
Connect Research to Tax Opportunity
Find the Research Behind Your Tax Position.
Many businesses perform research without calling it “R&D.” Product development, software development, engineering, experimentation, testing, and process improvement may involve activities that warrant a closer tax review, depending on the facts and applicable rules.
North Gravitas looks beyond job titles and project names to understand what your teams actually did, what technical uncertainty they faced, how they evaluated alternatives, and which costs may be associated with qualifying research. We then connect that activity to the financial and tax documentation needed to support the claim.
The opportunity often starts with understanding the work already happening inside your business.
