HOW WE CAN HELP
Over the last 2 years, we have negotiated more than $100M+ in California tax incentives.
We are former Big 4 CPAs, attorneys & government officials with a broad range of knowledge.
We serve across nearly all industries from startups, mid-size and Fortune 500 businesses.
At California Incentives Group, our experts work alongside clients to identify, negotiate and capture select high value California tax credits and incentives. These service offerings are our: CORE CALincentives.
For businesses looking to expand their operations in California or relocate into the state: our professionals will team with you to produce the most efficient and pragmatic approach to capturing the most valuable tax incentives and grants that California has to offer. Because let’s face it, although we love our Golden State…
To combat these challenges and promote economic development and job growth, a variety of California agencies administer dozens of economic incentives. Some of these include: income tax credits, sales and use tax exemptions, grants, discounted loans, tax-exempt bond financing, utility rebates and more.
However, with only so many hours in the day, how does a company’s accounting/tax department determine which incentive(s) are applicable? Which yield the highest ROI? Which should ultimately be pursued? If an incentive is obtained, how would it be implemented into day-to-day operations?
In our experience, this last issue is one of the most critical, and yet unfortunately, the most overlooked. For these reasons, we believe our approach is unique.
We are former Big 4 CPAs and attorneys with a broad range of knowledge and experience in the area of state and local taxation or “SALT”. We have worked with a wide range of clients from startups, mid-size and Fortune 1000 businesses.
Although our collective SALT experience is broad, we made a strategic decision over the last several years to focus on California’s highest value tax incentives and grants. Namely, the California Competes Tax Credit, CAEATFA Sales & Use Tax Exclusion, California Manufacturing and R&D Equipment Exemption and ETP Training Grants.
