Results Matter host Lee Kantor talks with Melissa Horne of Smith & Howard and Edward Brown of Burr & Forman about Georgias new Research and Development Tax Credit

(September 06, 2012)

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) September 06, 2012

On Tuesday September 4th, 2012, Lee Kantor, host of Results Matter radio on Business RadioX was joined in the downtown Atlanta studio by Edward H. Brown, a partner with Burr & Forman and Melissa Horne, a Senior Tax Manager with Smith & Howard for a discussion of the new Georgia R&D Tax Credits.

The three discussed the fact that while larger companies employ people to keep track of tax laws and credits, many small to medium sized businesses dont even know credits like the new state R&D Tax Credit exist.

Horne explained that its the job of the companys advisers (their lawyers and accountants) to keep them abreast of these kinds of credits and wanted to be sure people understood that R&D credits are not just for companies with white lab coats and big research labs. Many other types of innovation and research are included, such as software development and new product development, etc.. Brown agreed saying, if the professionals dont go out and talk about this stuff, it falls flat. Weve got to be that source.

Brown also noted that there are a very small percentage of companies actually taking this credit and explained that the change to the law that occurred in May of this year will allow businesses to take the credit against payroll withholding instead of just taxable income.

When Kantor asked if the tax credit was retroactive, Horne explained that as long as the statute of limitations had not past companies could amend their earlier tax filings and take the credit.
