AIASD: Dollars for Design: Optimizing the R&D Tax Credit for Architecture (1 LU)

Join AIA San Diego and BRAYN Consulting on a l virtual webinar created for YOU! Recent legislation responding to COVID-19 has opened opportunities for businesses to claim tax credits and incentives previously unavailable or underutilized.

Learn how to take advantage of this opportunity to claim Research & Development Tax Credits, also known as Design Tax Credits. This course will cover eligibility requirements, new tax laws and guidance, and case studies that will provide a roadmap for saving dollars for design.

• Debunk the myths of the R&D tax credit;
