As incentive tax credits are dollar-for-dollar, common sense would dictate that companies within the healthcare industry with skilled, highly paid employees would be the greatest beneficiaries. With higher wages and employee work hours that can be tied directly to eligibility, incentives such as the R&D credit are tailor-made to reward the daily innovation, software, and technology developments in the healthcare industry.

 

Healthcare technology and software development go hand-in-hand with R&D and other government-sponsored credits, and now is the time for healthcare professionals to take advantage of the benefits. Examples of qualified activities for the healthcare industry that may be eligible for R&D tax incentives include:
