Don’t Leave Money on the Table—Tax Incentives for Small Businesses that you may not know about!

 Many small businesses are not aware of the immediate value of tax credits and other incentives available to them. Companies with revenues as small as $2 million per year can have accumulated hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax credits that were not submitted with tax returns over the years.

 Acena Consulting would like to invite you to a special presentation on how your small business can increase cash flow by qualifying for R&D tax credits, Export Incentives or the new Qualified Therapeutic Discovery Program!

Here’s a little on what you’ll learn!

R&D Credits

U.S. companies can still take advantage of research and development tax credits to lower their income taxes each year!

Developing or improving products, processes, software, formulas or techniques can qualify for an R&D Credit and generate substantial tax savings for US taxpayers.

IC DISC

Does your company export products either directly or indirectly? If so, you may qualify for export incentives through the federal government.

· An IC DISC is a US entity that is set up for export companies that can permanently lower your taxes generated from profits on export sales.

· This is the last remaining export incentive available to the US manufacturer or distributor.

New 50% credit for Qualified Therapeutic Discovery Programs

Are you developing a new treatment or program that could help cure long-term illness or diseases? If so, you may be eligible for the new 50% tax credit on investments in Qualified Therapeutic Discovery Programs.
