• How does the SRED tax incentive program really work?
• Does my business qualify for tax credits?
• How do I prepare my claim?

The program’s objective is to incentivize businesses, partnerships and individuals, (size or sector regardless), to engage in scientific research and experimental development activities in Canada. Specifically, those that could usher in significant improvements in their fields. The focal point is to coax businesses to make claims that are compliant with the CRA’s established policies as well as with Canada‘s tax laws. To be eligible to apply for these incentives and become an SR&ED company, there are certain parameters to be met. A Canadian-controlled Private Corporation (CCPC) can enjoy 35% in Investment Tax Credits (ITC) up to the first 3 million dollars of the qualified expenses for SRED that is conducted in Canada, as well as 20% on excess amounts. Other Canadian proprietorships, corporations, trusts and partnerships can enjoy 20% in ITCs of the qualified expenses for SRED conducted in Canada.
