The research and experimentation credit recently was enhanced to give small businesses greater access to its benefits. Eligible small businesses can now elect to offset their liability for AMT or payroll tax with research credits, where many payroll tax returns filed in the fourth quarter of 2017 will first see these credit claims.
As we explore many of the activities that qualify small businesses to the research credit, we will also review the eligibility criteria for the payroll tax offset, as well as the manner in which the payroll tax offset works for employers using PEOs to lease employees.
The presentation touches on various tax refund programs and grants for companies dealing with technology: SR&ED, OIDMTC, IRAP, Youth IRAP, SBIP and others.

In Canada, tax is paid at both federal and provincial (i.e. state) levels of government.
Both the federal government and most provincial governments provide funding for scientific and technological R&D through a system of tax credits.
The official title of this system of R&D tax credits is the Scientific Research & Experimental Development tax credit abbreviated SR&ED.
The SR&ED program is administrated by the Canada Revenue Agency abbreviated CRA.
All taxpayers anywhere in Canada are eligible to receive R&D tax credits at the federal level. Eligibility for R&D tax credits at the provincial level is predicated on two considerations; First the province must have an R&D credit and second, you must be a taxpayer in that province.
In addition to being done by a Canadian taxpayer, the R&D work must be done in Canada.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

3. AmCorp Management is the Nation’s
Leader in R&D Tax Credit Services
A C
AmCorp’s R&D f
’ l l
focuses solely on f d
federal and state R&D t credit
l d t t tax dit
programs. These corporate economic incentives are conservative, IRS
approved and Government sponsored programs.
If your company has invested time, money and resources towards
improving and/or advancing its products or processes you may qualify
for Research and Development Tax Credits.
AmCorp has relationships with teams of
senior-level specialists. These specialists
include tax experts, attorneys, accountants,
technical writers and software engineers.
Each of these specialists are committed to
providing you with the most effective and
meticulous Feasibility Study and follow-up
Research and Development Study available.
4. The R&D Tax Credit Opportunity
The R&D Tax Credit was created by Congress in 1981 as an incentive to
Increase private industry research investments. Recognizing that
T h l i li
Technological innovation d i i
ti drives economic growth, productivity, and
th d ti it d
competitiveness, the purpose of the credit was to reverse a decline in
non-governmental U.S. research and development efforts.
To qualify a company must produce a expansive Research and
Development Report detailing every qualifying aspect .
When the IRS approves the R&D Report your credit is not a deduction but
deduction,
a dollar for dollar credit against taxes owed or
taxes paid. The qualifying aspects are certain
types of p
yp product development, expansion,
p p
process improvement and engineering activities.
It is for businesses of all sizes in a variety
of commercial activities, including engineering,
manufacturing, processing
manufacturing processing, food production
production,
development and other commercial endeavors.

6. The R&D Tax Credit Opportunity
The R&D Tax Credit Opportunity:
• Is a relatively unknown source of immediate cash for many companies.
y y p
• Provides a reduction to current and future years for federal and
state tax liabilities.
• Opens the doors to tap into the 110 billion dollars of available federal
Research and Development tax credits.
• Is available for the last 3 open tax years plus the current year.
• May open additional years if the tax payer is
in a net operating loss or alternative
minimum tax position.
FACT:
Over 90% of the businesses that qualify fail
to fully capture all their available tax credits
through the R&D Tax Credit program.
7. What Really Qualifies
We find that most of our clients fail to consider themselves qualified.
They say we are “just doing our job” when it comes to making their
Products faster more economical lighter stronger, cheaper or even
faster, economical, lighter, stronger
improving the process in which its made. But the fact is these activities
qualify for the R&D Tax credit. Here are some of the qualifying activities:
• Manufactured products
• Development of new, improved or more reliable products/processes/techniques or formulas
• Development of prototypes or models (including computer generated models)
• Designing of tools, jigs, molds and dies
• Development and application for p
p pp patents
• Development of new technologies
• Attempt of using new materials (failed or successful)
• Integrate, design and modification of new equipment
• Development of new production or manufacturing processes
• Improving on new production and manufacturing processes
• Development of production control or management software
• Improvement of manufacturing facilities or processes
• Building of new manufacturing facilities or processes
• Automation of or streamlining of internal processes
• Expend resources on outside consultants or contractors
for doing any of the above stated activities
8. Has Your Company Ever Done a
Research and Development Report?
Most Companies Haven't
Those who have fail to fully take advantage of every aspect available.
Our Approach
Phase one: Feasibility Study and Assessment
We collect all the needed data and provide you with a no-cost,
no-obligation Feasibility study to determine qualifying opportunities.
Phase Two: Devise and Implementation
We devise a detailed work plan and execute it accordingly. We interview
necessary employees, analyze contemporaneous documentation and
financial information to finalize the quantitative aspects of the study.
Phase Three: Reporting
This phase is where all the previous preparation and work comes together
in

9. Examples
If a company has operational and procedures that qualify for R&D Tax
Credits their tax
C dit th i t savings could b substantial.
i ld be b t ti l
The percentage of annual costs that qualify for the R&D Tax Credits could
range from 5 to 20% of gross annual revenue, sometimes more.
Dollar Amount 1 yr Credit @ 5% 3 yr Credit @ 5%
$1,000,000 $50,000 $150,000
$5,000,000 $250,000 $750,000
Dollar Amount 1 yr Credit @ 20% 3 yr Credit @ 20%
$1,000,000 $200,000 $600,000
$5,000,000 $1,000,000 $3,000,000

11. Most Common Asked Questions
Shouldn’t I already be doing this?
Not necessarily, experience shows that less than 10% of the
y p
companies that qualify actually take advantage of the R&D Tax Credit
in any form. Most of those are public companies who can afford to
access specialty tax services, plus the R&D Tax Credit Report is a very
complex process
process.
Will this cause an IRS audit?
No, the IRS has defined the R&D Tax Credit procedures and when they
are followed there are no problems. We have over 4300 problem free
tax clients. Plus if there ever is an issue with our work we stand behind
it 100% with no cost to the client.
How do I know if I qualify?
By allowing AmCorp to do a no-obligation,
