SR&ED Explained

SR&ED can typically be found in software, IT, and gaming; advanced manufacturing, agriculture and food processing, and biotech industries. By investing in SR&ED, businesses in these sectors can get access to tax credits that can be used to offset their income taxes payable. This program helps foster innovation, stimulate growth, and contribute to the development of new products and services.

By taking advantage of the SR&ED program, businesses can significantly reduce their income taxes payable, invest more into research, and develop innovative products that will help them gain a competitive edge. The process must have technological uncertainty and be solved through experimentation. 

Documentation Requirements

Good documentation practices are essential for any business. Not only do they help you keep track of deadlines, reduce bugs, improve operational planning or accelerate the onboarding of new staff, but they can also literally pay for themselves. Through Canada’s SR&ED tax credit program, businesses can get tax credits to support their research and development costs.
