Tax Saving Opportunities for the Life Sciences Industry

August 13, 2025 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT
Federal and state tax credits and incentives are valuable strategies for reducing overall tax liability, yet they are often underutilized. Join BDO’s Federal and State Tax professionals for an informative webcast designed to identify tax-saving opportunities for life sciences companies.
The session will start with a discussion on federal benefits and considerations related to the R&D Tax Credit for life sciences companies, including an overview of the updated Form 6765, documentation considerations in light of changes at the IRS, utilization of the R&D credit for new companies, and potential life sciences directives. Following this, we will examine state and local credits and incentives triggering events, and review select programs that are specifically targeted to life sciences companies.
Learning Objectives
- Review qualification of the R&D Tax Credits and considerations for life sciences companies.
- Recall two state and local tax benefits for life sciences companies.
- Recall key filing deadlines.
- Explain changes to the IRS and form requirements.
