Shred Program Updates Transform Opportunities
Recent changes to the Shred program have significant implications for businesses, particularly in terms of capital expenditures. Companies can now claim tax credits for investments in new equipment and R&D infrastructure, reviving previous benefits that had lapsed. Public companies also stand to gain from enhanced access to a 35% refundable tax credit, making it easier for larger organizations to take advantage of R&D incentives. With annual limits for small businesses increasing to $4.5 million and taxable capital thresholds expanding, more innovative firms are positioned to benefit from the program.
