As part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, Congress passed the Domestic Production Activities Deduction (DPAD) permitting specific industries, including contractors, architects, and engineers, to deduct up to 9% of the net income of their operations. The deduction acts in part as an incentive for domestic production and to increase domestic jobs.
