Your Questions Answered
Quick answers to questions from architects and engineers
What is IC-DISC, and how does it benefit architects and engineers?
IC-DISC (Interest Charge Domestic International Sales Corporation) is a federal tax incentive that reduces the tax rate on qualified export income. For architects and engineers, this means services for overseas projects may qualify for reduced tax rates, maximizing profit.
Which types of services qualify for IC-DISC?
IC-DISC benefits apply to services directly tied to foreign projects, including architectural design, engineering consulting, and project planning. Services must contribute to a final product or project delivered outside the U.S.
How much can firms save with IC-DISC?
The tax savings can be substantial, often lowering the tax rate on qualifying export income from the regular income rate to the lower dividend rate. Savings vary depending on revenue but can significantly impact profits.
Do small firms qualify for IC- DISC
Yes, IC-DISC is available to firms of any size. Whether a large firm or a smaller design practice, any business meeting IC-DISC criteria on foreign sales can qualify for tax savings.
What documentation is required to set up an IC-DISC?
To establish an IC-DISC, firms need thorough documentation, including records of qualifying export income, proof of foreign delivery of services, and structured compliance with IRS guidelines.
Does IC-DISC apply to services performed domestically?
Yes, if the services support an end project that’s delivered outside the U.S., domestically performed work such as design or engineering consulting can qualify for IC-DISC benefits.
Can IC-DISC help improve cash flow?
Yes, IC-DISC tax savings improve cash flow by reducing the firm’s tax burden, allowing more funds for reinvestment in business development, technology, or expansion.
