Definition
A tax credit is an amount of money that taxpayers can subtract directly from the taxes they owe to the government. Tax credits can be either nonrefundable (where the credit amount cannot exceed the tax liability) or refundable (where the taxpayer receives the excess amount).
Related Services

Problem and Application

Companies or individuals may miss out on significant savings unless they are properly informed or guided by tax professionals to maximize the credits available to them.
Conclusion
Tax credits offer significant savings opportunities for businesses and individuals. To fully benefit, it�s important to stay informed about available credits and engage with professionals who can identify applicable credits, ensuring compliance and maximizing financial savings.
