R&D Tax Credit News

Delaware will soon allow businesses with less than $20 million in average revenue over the prior 4 tax years to claim a state research tax credit equal to 100% of the Federal R&E tax credit. Currently all companies are allowed a Delaware R&D credit equal to 50% of the Federal amount based on expenditures within the state.
