Understanding R&D Tax Credits
In this chapter, they discuss the difference between building software and conducting research and development (R&D) for an app. They explain the four-part test to determine if the engineering work qualifies as research, which includes being in the hard sciences, being new and novel, involving a process of experimentation, and having a technological nature. They also mention that certain activities like QA and marketing spend do not qualify as engineering. Furthermore, they mention that to qualify for the US R&D tax credit, the engineers must be on a US payroll or contractors based in the US.
