Understanding what kinds of activities give rise to an R&D claim is crucial to identifying and maximizing available tax benefits.

Attendees of this session will understand the qualification criteria to determine the eligibility of an R&D claim and learn how best to document suitable activities and capture associated costs to support an R&D claim. Our guests also will recognize the different ways an R&D Study can support, manage and drive value to eligible businesses. (Qualifies for 1 Taxation CPE credit.)
