Electrical Engineering R&D Tax Credits

Electrical engineers play a vital role in designing, developing, and maintaining electrical systems that power various industries. From telecommunications and transportation to healthcare and manufacturing, their expertise drives the core technologies that keep these sectors running smoothly.

Innovation is at the heart of electrical engineering. Engineers in this field are constantly advancing new technologies such as renewable energy systems, smart grids, and automation solutions. Their work leads to more efficient, reliable, and sustainable infrastructures that benefit society.

Electrical engineering qualifying R&D could include security, power, telecommunications, fire, water, waste and HVAC systems, to components, electrical devices, processors and a lot more.

Electrical Engineering R&D Tax Credit Examples

Qualifying Electrical Engineering innovation projects must attempt to “resolve a scientific or technological uncertainty”. This is when a qualified professional cannot see a solution to a problem without explorative testing and development.

The testing must attempt to fill a knowledge gap within the industry, and change or create a new product, process or service.

Electrical Engineering R&D Product Improvements
