How CTI makes tax incentives easy
The Challenge
Ways to Improve Bottom Line
A generations-old family-owned farm was investigating ways to better their financial outlook. They were all too familiar with government farming subsidies, grants, and loans, but had little knowledge of tax incentives and did not realize there were opportunities in their industry like the federal R&D Tax Credit.
Our Solution
Tax Credit Discovery & Capture
CTI’s expert team opened a new world of tax-savings opportunities by revealing the farm’s potential to capture R&D credits. CTI then went to work to identify qualified activities and expenditures, captured all possible credits - and ultimately garnered substantial tax savings they could reinvest into the business.
Types of incentives

Employment Incentives
In recognition of the jobs and training that employers like you provide, governments offer employment incentives to help you offset payroll taxes, pay for employee training, and tap into new talent pools.

R&D Incentives
Research and development incentives reward businesses of all industries and sizes for technical approaches to problem-solving, promoting innovation and improvement for companies and the economy.

Cost Segregation
Increase cash flow with cost segregation’s accelerated depreciation for real estate assets. If you've acquired, remodeled, expanded, or constructed real estate, you can likely benefit from a cost segregation study.

Discretionary Incentives
Take advantage of your business location with discretionary incentives that go beyond standard incentive opportunities. Know where to look and how to negotiate to reap your full financial potential.

Global Incentives
EU member states qualify for specific schemes designed to help small and medium sized farms, young farmers, farmers who operate in areas of natural constraint and/or sectors undergoing difficulties. Additional innovation and investment opportunities exist in Australia and Canada.

Work Opportunity Tax Credit
Maximize the tax savings available to your business for hiring employees. A federal government initiative designed to increase employment opportunities for people who typically experience certain barriers to employment, such as veterans, public assistance recipients, or ex-felons.

I really liked the audit protection, operating with the knowledge that CTI stands behind its work. Audit protection, personal relationships, and the ease of the step-by-step process...I could not be happier with the results.
