10 Fixed Base Percentage Depending on the year the company started the fix base percentage is calculated 3 different ways 1. Pre 1984 Company - the fixed base percentage is based on the level of QRE s to gross receipts during the tax years This percentage never changes and cannot exceed 16% 2. Post 1984 Company with more than 5 tax years behind it. The base percentage is a floating percentage and is based on a 10 year period using an aggregate base percentage and cannot exceed 16%. 3.For a start up company less than five years old the base percentage is fixed at 3% The Fixed Base Limitation Fixed base % = Average QREs in Base Period Average Gross Sales in Base Period Example: Fixed Base % = $100,000 =1% $10,000,000 Assuming Last 4 years average sales =$50,000,000 Fixed Base Limitation = $50,000,000 x 1% =$500,000 10
11 Base Calculations Qualified Research Expenditures Apply Fixed Base Percentage multiply QRE Floor or Fixed Base 50% of QRE Limitation multiply by 50% 50% of QREs multiply by 20% or 13% The lesser of 50% or calculated QRE over Fixed Base Regular or reduced credit Whose Credit??? Two Tests: Economic Risk and Intellectual Property Case Study Mechanical Contractor Economic Risk 75% of contracts are lump sum / fixed fee arrangements 25% of contracts are T&M for service/repair Intellectual Property Does the contractor retain a substantial right to the IP? 11
12 Credit Details Refundable vs. Non Refundable Gross Credit Reduced Credit Statute of Limitations Implication of Passive Shareholders Other Considerations Mechanics For every $1,000,000 of qualified research expenditures (QRE s): Up to $65,000 in Net Federal R&D tax credits If credits cannot be used in the year they are generated: Federal: 20 year carryforward; 1 year carryback (5 years for 2010 credits) 12
13 Utilization Losses/NOLs AMT Passive ownership ESOP Trusts 41(g) Statutory deadline considerations Controlled groups Current tax years - going forward Alternative Simplified Credit ASC equals 14 percent of the excess of current-year "QREs", over 50 percent of the taxpayer's average QREs for the prior three years. For start-up taxpayers, the credit would equal 6 percent of current-year QREs. This is also true if a taxpayer has no qualified research expenses in any one of the three preceding taxable years. 13
14 Example of ASC Calculation Increasing R&D Spending Spending QRE $85M $90M $95M $100M 50% "base" $45m Creditable amount $55m Credit (14%) $7.7M Effective credit rate % Example of ASC Calculation Declining R&D Spending QRE $115M $110M $105M $100M 50% "base" $55m Creditable amount $45m Credit (14%) $6.3M Effective credit rate % 14
15 Case Study Background Industry: Equipment Manufacturer Product: Custom manufacturer Entity Type: C-Corp Year business started: year Ave Gross Receipts: $38,000,000 Total Labor: $7,200,000 Base Method vs. ASC 15
16 Applicable Code Sections Section percent credit for increasing research and experimentation expenditures Section 56 Adjustments in computing alternative minimum taxable income Section 174 Research and experimentation expenditures Section 469(h) Passive activity losses and credits limited/material Participation defined 31 What s New? 16
17 Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (HR5297) The small business bill will allow thousands of the most innovative and leading small and medium companies to keep hundreds of millions of dollars in their pockets.
