A Comprehensive Guide to Boosting Your Small Business's Bottom Line with Tax Credits, Part 1

Last week, as large retail chains drew crowds seeking Black Friday deals, many small businesses faced the challenge of competing for attention. The impact of such competition can be substantial, but for small retailers there's an alternative solution to help increase revenue and save money this holiday season. 


By capturing crucial tax credits, you have the power to increase your company’s bottom line, especially in these challenging economic times. OnCentive recognizes the unique challenges faced by small businesses and our seasoned tax experts are here to provide your organization the support you need to take advantage of these opportunities.


Our expertise has become a beacon of support for small businesses striving to succeed, and we’re sharing the valuable gift of knowledge this holiday season by offering this comprehensive guide. 


Not only will you uncover the various tax credits available to your business, but you’ll also learn how partnering with OnCentive can be a game-changer for your business striving for financial resilience.

Navigating Your Business’ Finances: Unraveling the Power of Tax Credits vs. Deductions

In the dynamic world of tax benefits, distinguishing between credits and deductions is the key to unlocking significant savings for your business. Consider this as your compass in the intricate landscape of tax credits.


Imagine your business investing in energy-efficient vehicles or adopting green materials for your buildings. These actions not only contribute to the economy, foster business development, and positively impact the environment, but also open avenues for substantial savings through tax credits. 

Understanding Business Tax Deductions vs. Tax Credits

Unlike deductions, which reduce your net taxable income in the latter stages of the tax process, these credits directly reduce the out-of-pocket expense of income tax burden. 


Many of these tax credits can be realized in a dollar-for-dollar reduction to your organization’s tax liability. Understanding this disparity is the first step to harnessing the full power of tax laws, and now that you understand the difference, we’ll explore some of the valuable credits your small business can leverage. 


In our next blog post, we’ll focus on the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC), the Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credit, and the Solar Tax Credit. Stay tuned to discover the intricate landscape of tax opportunities tailored to positively impact your business’s bottom line.
