Forum Overview :: Balance of Power :: What is considered R&D for tax purposes has little relation to reality

[quote name="blackwater"]I've seen companies call hiring a software developer "R&D." The whole system is just really dumb and ripe to be gamed. Like why does my C corp have to have profits at all? After all it had such high licensing costs licensing the "OK button" patent from MyShadyLLCOwnedByTheCEO. You're a lawyer. You should know how dumb this all is. If the government wants R&D, just give some more money to the NHS.[/quote]
