In this session, we will cover new provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill that impact manufacturers, breaking down items that manufacturers should be considering for tax planning and looking forward to future planning opportunities.
R&D Tax Credits
For U.S. manufacturers to compete globally they must innovate. That requires experimentation and iteration, and that means manufacturers are conducting qualified research activities. Under OBBB, domestic R&D activities are no longer required to be capitalized, which makes the R&D credit even more important for cash flow. And with the extension of the Texas R&D credit, now is the time to make sure you taking advantage of these credits. We will discuss examples of qualifying activities and how manufacturers can utilize R&D credits.
Property Tax Planning
From Freeport exemptions to specific carve outs for industry exemptions (e.g. biomedical devices), in this session we will cover the various exemptions your business should be taking advantage of.
