What Is the Investment Tax Credit?
The investment tax credit (ITC) allows Connecticut businesses to offset their tax liability by a portion of qualifying capital investments. Unlike regular depreciation, this credit offers a direct reduction in taxes owed—making it particularly appealing for companies reinvesting in energy, tech, or infrastructure.
Qualifying investments often include:
✔ Renewable energy installations like solar or wind systems
✔ Commercial or industrial machinery and production equipment
✔ Infrastructure that supports R&D or technical development
✔ IT and tech upgrades including software and hardware
Presti & Naegele works closely with Connecticut businesses to make sure every eligible investment is fully leveraged.
Strategic Support for Every Step of Your Investment Tax Credit Claim in Connecticut
Securing the investment tax credit involves more than just filling out forms—it takes thoughtful planning, detailed records, and experience with ever-changing tax laws. Presti & Naegele brings that expertise directly to Connecticut companies of all sizes.
Our ITC service includes:
✔ Evaluation of asset eligibility based on tax code
✔ Calculations tailored to both federal and Connecticut-specific regulations
✔ Coordination with your in-house accounting team
✔ Organized documentation and audit support
We don’t just assist with compliance—we help you strategically time and structure investments to get the most out of the credit in Connecticut.
Who Can Benefit Most From the Investment Tax Credit in Connecticut?
The investment tax credit delivers serious value for Connecticut businesses investing in long-term growth. Whether you’re a manufacturing firm in Bridgeport or a healthcare provider in New Haven, the ITC can lower your tax burden and increase the return on large capital expenses.
Industries we frequently serve in Connecticut include:

✔ Manufacturing and Industrial Operations
✔ Medical and Dental Offices

FAQs
1. How do I know if my business qualifies for the investment tax credit?
Eligibility for the investment tax credit depends on the type of investment made and current federal guidelines. Common qualifying investments include renewable energy installations, manufacturing equipment, and certain improvements to commercial property. Our team conducts a comprehensive review of your capital expenditures to determine credit eligibility and ensure all qualifications are met.
2. Can I still claim the investment tax credit if I lease equipment instead of buying it?
Yes, in some cases you may still be eligible to claim the investment tax credit even if the equipment is leased, depending on the lease structure and who retains ownership. Presti & Naegele can analyze your lease agreements to determine whether the credit applies and how to claim it accurately.
3. Is the investment tax credit available at the state level too?
While the investment tax credit is a federal program, some states offer their own versions or incentives that work in tandem with the federal ITC. We provide both federal and state-level tax planning to help you capture every available benefit.
4. What documentation do I need to claim the investment tax credit?
To claim the investment tax credit, you’ll need purchase receipts, installation records, proof of use, and potentially third-party certifications (such as for energy-efficient systems). We help you prepare all necessary documents and ensure your records are audit-ready.
5. When should I involve a tax advisor in planning for the ITC?
Ideally, you should consult a tax advisor before making an investment to ensure your plans align with ITC eligibility and maximize benefits. However, even post-purchase, our team can assess your past transactions for potential claims and develop a forward-looking tax strategy.

I have had my business for more than 10 years and struggled through several *truly awful* accountants. I found Presti & Naegele about 5 years ago and have never looked back. They are a life-changing breath of fresh air and they will be my accountants for as long as I live.
Andy and the whole Presti Naegele team have been game changers as accountants for our business. My previous accountant was very hands-off and not accessible. Andy and his team are always available, willing and able to roll up their sleeves no matter what we throw at them. Highly recommend - do NOT hesitate to work with them!
