With increasing demand for new aircraft, military equipment and component parts, research and development (R&D) is the lifeblood of the aerospace and defense industries.You can address the cost and risk of research and development (R&D) by leveraging available federal, state, and local tax incentives.
Initiatives that may be eligible for R&D tax incentives include:
- Developing weaponry and technology needed by the military, intelligence agencies and/or border patrol
- Developing and/or implementing production technology that increases quality, reliability and performance or reduces waste, scrap, spoilage or defects
- Creating production processes that are more environmentally friendly
