Tax Credit Collective overviews geotechnical engineering activities that can qualify for tax credits- especially the Research & Development tax credit.
Does your Firm Engage in Geotechnical Activities?
Does your firm engage in civil engineering, structural engineering, or environmental resilience work? If so, there is a good chance you’re also doing geotechnical engineering! The challenges of these projects often necessitate new or improved products, processes, or software, technical solutions, or a process of experimentation. Federal and state governments incentivize companies to do this costly and challenging work through tax credits. At Tax Credit Collective, we help a wide variety of engineering firms capture the R&D Tax Credit. If your business engages in the following activities, you could be eligible to capture the Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credit:
Some common geotechnical activities that can qualify firms to capture this credit are:
· Investigation of subsurface conditions and materials
· Site monitoring/ site risk assessment
· Natural disaster mitigation
· Retaining structure and foundation design
· Earthwork’s design
· In-situ soil testing
· Slope stability analysis
· Infrastructure design
· Subsea materials analysis
· Load bearing investigations
· Excavation shoring
· Hazardous waste disposal processes
· Geosynthetics design and experimentation
· ... and more activities. This is not an exhaustive list!
