Follow on Google News | Research & Development Tax Credit Finally Permanent? Not yet but maybe soon!R&D tax credit - Many in industry certainly wish this would become a reality and feel it’s long overdue. The Research & Development (R&D) Tax Credit (“Credit”) has been extended 14 times since first enacted in 1981.
By: KBKG Is Congress finally going to act and make the R&D Credit permanent? President Obama supports making the Credit permanent. President Bush did as well. It is clear that both political parties agree on the need to make the R&D credit permanent. The recently issued Joint Committee on Taxation Report (June 2011) contained support for making the Credit permanent. It also suggested an increase in the rate for the Alternative Simplified Credit (ASC) from 14% to 17%. The proposal would be effective for amounts paid or incurred after December 31, 2011, when the current R&D extension expires. There are also two legislative options currently in the House Committee on Ways and Means: (1) H.R. 942 (introduced March 8, 2011), which extends the Regular Credit Method through 2012, makes the ASC permanent, and increases the ASC percentage to 20%; and (2) H.R. 1693 (introduced May 3, 2011) which makes both the Regular Method and ASC Method permanent, and increases the ASC Credit from 14% to 17%).
