Technology & Life Sciences
No two tax situations are the same. That is why Moss Adams provides the personal attention of an experienced tax manager and the support of a team of tax specialists who can address virtually any tax situation.
Our technology industry group has intimate knowledge of those issues specific to the technology industry.
Change in Ownership (Section 382)
As companies issue their own stock to compensate executives, acquire a company, or hold a private or public offerings, there is an increased likelihood the company will undergo an “ownership change” that may have adverse tax consequences on the ability to use net operating loss and credit carryforwards. Moss Adams senior tax professionals consult with our clients to ensure that the use of their carryforwards is optimized, as supported by Section 382 studies and built-in gains analyses.
Research Credit Maximization
Moss Adams has developed a program to help clients maximize research tax credits available under federal and state programs. We work with our clients to identify overlooked opportunities, evaluate the benefit available, document the qualitative and quantitative support for the credit calculation, and assist with the federal and state filings required to obtain the tax credit dollars.
