Tax Incentives for Businesses

Do you know your business may be eligible for federal and state tax credit benefits?

The U.S. government has set aside billions of dollars to reward companies for keeping manufacturing jobs here in the United States and Texas. This tax credit applies to many industries. If you are developing new or improving existing products or processes there is a good chance you qualify. 
On July 10, representatives from Corporate Tax Incentives, CTI, will shed light on valuable tax incentives designed to bolster growth, spur innovation, and keep American manufacturers and businesses competitive.

Lunch included.
