The R&D Tax Credit in the Agriculture, Farming and Fishing Industry

Date and Time: There are no webinars running at this time

R&D Tax Credits: 80% of eligible companies don’t claim! Every year, companies waste thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars due to simple misunderstandings about the Research & Development (R&D) tax credit. Amended claims can go back three years and in most cases generate considerable refunds for past R&D activities.

Small businesses in the Agriculture, Farming, and Fishing sectors can significantly benefit from the Research and Development tax credit by claiming incentives for developing new techniques, improving crop yields, or creating sustainable practices. The credit rewards innovation, even in traditional sectors, and can reduce the overall tax burden. For startups with little to no income tax liability, offsetting the R&D tax credit against payroll taxes is particularly advantageous, allowing them to apply the credit up to $500,000 of payroll taxes annually. This helps improve cash flow and reinvest in growth, labor, and further innovation.

Agricultural Sector Case Study

Nut & Co., established in 1988, specializes in designing and building machinery for pecan growers and shellers; its owner started working in this industry in 1972. The company has consistently aimed to strengthen the sector by producing reliable, high-quality machinery, maintaining its position as a leader. From 2013-2016, Nut & Co. incurred qualified research expenditures, primarily for its Aspirator System, which was designed in 2012. This system revolutionized pecan shelling by using aspiration instead of traditional blowing, significantly improving plant efficiency and cleanliness. To qualify for the Research and Development Tax Credit, Nut & Co.’s activities met the Four-Part Test, which includes permitted purpose, elimination of uncertainty, process of experimentation, and technological nature. Their eligible R&D activities included designing prototypes for the Aspirator System, conducting tests and analyzing data for reproducible results, performing basic research to fill knowledge gaps, and continuously analyzing customer feedback to refine the design. Nut & Co. maintained meticulous records such as project diaries, technical drawings, testing protocols, and invoices, ensuring audit readiness for any IRS audits. Through continuous improvements in production time, efficiency, product reliability, and cost reduction, Nut & Co. successfully eliminated uncertainty through testing and experimentation. As a result, Nut & Co. satisfied the Four-Part Test and qualified for substantial federal and state Research and Development tax credits for the 2013-2016 tax years.
