How CTI makes tax incentives easy
The Challenge
Supporting Documentation
For years a company relied on their finance and accounting teams to claim R&D tax credits. Because they did not have the manpower to fully document research activities and expenses, they calculated credits based on estimates and assumptions.
Our Solution
Expert Study Analysis
CTI’s expert team did the ‘heavy lifting’ to perform a rigorous study analysis to account for all qualified activities and expenses, and then re-calculated all the R&D tax credits. CTI more than tripled the amount of federal and state R&D credits claimed.
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
Governments around the world are competing to attract businesses like yours. Identify and capture incentives to reduce your costs of doing business internationally and improve your ROI.

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.
