Brewer Science Supports the Restoration of Full R&D Tax Deductibility with the Passage of OBBB
Legislation Strengthens U.S. Semiconductor Manufacturing and Innovation
Rolla, MO., August 12, 2025—Brewer Science, a global leader in developing and manufacturing next-generation materials and products for the semiconductor industry, celebrates the restoration of 100% tax deductibility for research and development (R&D) expenses with the passage of the One Big, Beautiful Bill (OBBB).
Brewer Science commends Congressman Jason Smith’s leadership and tireless efforts to restore 100% tax deductibility for R&D expenses. As Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Chairman Smith championed this critical provision for American innovation.
Section 174A of the OBBB allows for 100% tax deductibility of R&D expenses in the year they are incurred. This is especially critical for advanced manufacturing companies like Brewer Science, as it incentivizes continued investments in innovation, infrastructure, and job creation within the United States.
For over four decades, Brewer Science has made intentional and sustained investments in research and product development to remain a global industry leader. These efforts have supported high-quality job creation and infrastructure growth throughout Missouri’s 8th district.
“Section 174A of the One Big Beautiful Bill is a major win for advanced manufacturing companies like Brewer Science,” said Dr. Sri Kommu, co-CEO of Brewer Science. “This provision will provide a much-needed boost to U.S.-based companies conducting advanced research. We are grateful to Congressman Jason Smith for securing this important policy.”
