Moore on Manufacturing: Year-End Tax Planning for Manufacturers: Keep More Cash

Waiting until December to think about taxes can cost manufacturers real money. In this episode of Moore on Manufacturing, partners Mike Sibley and Kevin Golden break down the year-end tax moves worth making now, and the ones that pay off even more down the road. They cover how to decide if a new piece of equipment is really worth buying, what qualified production property means for a facility expansion, and why R&D tax credit documentation rules are getting stricter starting in 2026. They also share practical ways to clean up aging inventory and receivables for a real cash flow boost, plus how hiring and multistate growth can quietly raise your tax bill. The real takeaway: good tax planning isn't a fourth quarter scramble. It's a conversation manufacturers should be having all year long.
