Tax credits and incentives services

Uncover opportunities across jurisdictions

Bold changes can bring big opportunities. As you grow your workforce, upgrade your facilities, and increase innovation, more corporate tax incentives may be available. Deloitte delivers services to help you identify available credits and incentives globally and in the United States. We can help you identify opportunities to help fuel your company’s growth or transformation.

Recent legislation has created potential opportunities for individuals, businesses, tax-exempt and government entities to leverage new and extended tax credits, deductions, and other incentives. Credits and incentives (C&I) can be used to reduce the amount of tax due to governments and tax authorities, while deductions can reduce your amount of taxable income. Engineered by people and powered by technology, Deloitte tax services can help you identify the credits that may be available to you at the global, federal, and state level.
