RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (R&D) TAX CREDITS

The Opportunity

The federal government has firmly established that commercial Research & Development (R&D) is to be incentivized as the primary driver of technological innovation. Because of this, the federal government supports business R&D through a tax credit for incremental increases in R&Dspending.

The Challenge

The IRS has taken an aggressive position that requires companies to provide significant engineering and cost nexus support to obtain R&D Tax Section 41 Credit and Section 174 Deduction benefits.

Who’s Eligible

Section 174 and 41 Research and Experimentation(R&E) Tax regulations provide companies of all sizes and from most industries the ability to receive economic incentives for innovation. If you’re a company that invests in attempting to design, develop, or improve products, processes, techniques, formulas, inventions, or software; you may be eligible for this benefit.

COST SEGREGATION STUDIES

The Opportunity

Cost segregation is an accepted tax planning strategy utilized by commercial real estate owners and tenants to accelerate depreciation deductions, defer tax, and improve cash flow. Cost Segregation studies provide a means to identify components of your facility and appropriately identify the asset category and accelerated deduction recovery period.

The Challenge

Historically, the same UOP approach has also been used for financial reporting and income tax purposes by Energy Companies. Companies must develop newUOPs that meet new proposed regulations that require identifying systems that perform singular functions within the plant and has components that do not perform separate and distinct functions.

Who’s Eligible

SPECIALTY MODELS

The Opportunity

IRS regulations often provide indirect opportunities to taxpayers and/or require specialized analyses to support various taxpayer positions. In these circumstances, Companies often need to develop one-off, defendable models to support their tax claims.

The Challenge

BCP has developed several analytical models to support various tax positions. Two such models are the warranty Cost Modeland a Fair Market Value (FMV)Model for historical warehouse inventory.

The Approach

Warranty Model

BCP is developing a data-driven risk and statistical-based model to develop the cost of warranty estimates associated with routine and non-routine capital equipment purchases. The model applies the principles of Probability Risk Analysis (PRA).

Fair Market Value (FMV) Model

BCP developed a unique methodology to evaluate and determine the historical FMV for warehouse inventory. The approach developed was based on asset components and included an assessment of the marketplace during that time period for available and willing purchasers

Benefits BCP Provide
