How CTI makes tax incentives easy
The Challenge
Determining Qualified Wages
Knowing they could claim R&D tax credits for the time employees devoted to research and development, a growing control systems manufacturer struggled to accurately and thoroughly quantify the eligible wages for the various staff involved in the company’s development activities.
Our Solution
Detailed Feasibility Review
CTI’s team of specialists meticulously examined the potentially qualified R&D activities and expenses related to the company’s projects. They went beyond core engineers to also identify qualified wages for direct support personnel, high-level executives, and third-party contractors. CTI’s credit estimate was significantly higher than expected.
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.

CTI identified almost $2 million in R&D tax credits over three years. We’ve built a rapport and consistent methodology with CTI that makes for an efficient study process and credit amounts beyond our expectations.
