R&D tax credits are government incentives designed to encourage innovation by compensating companies for costs associated with research, experimentation, and development of new products, processes or services. Businesses can claim tax credits for a wide range of activities from improving existing products to creating novel solutions, and these credits can significantly reduce a company's tax liability allowing them to reinvest in further innovation or other critical areas. R&D tax credits benefit businesses financially and play a pivotal role in advancing technology and contributing to overall economic progress.
