Two professionals looking over R&D tax and accounting considerations for their technology company.Technology companies investing in software development for internal or external use face a variety of accounting and tax rules for research and development (R&D) expenditures. In addition, confusing tax regulations make it difficult to properly claim the tax benefits from these investments. This challenge arises from overlapping and sometimes contradictory tax rules and accounting guidelines.
