Maximizing Tax Incentives for Government Contractors: R&D Credits, Section 174 After the OBBBA

In this session, EPSA USA will break down what truly qualifies as R&D, clear up common misconceptions, and share strategies to maximize incentives while ensuring compliance. Attendees will leave with practical, actionable insights to improve cash flow and plan effectively for 2025 and beyond.

Throughout the contract life cycle and fiscal year, there are several types of indirect rate calculations used. In this program, you will learn about indirect rate structures, the Forward Pricing Rate Proposal (FPRP), DCAA's FPRP Checklist, billing rates and the final indirect cost rate proposal process.
