Get your SR&ED claim done right with Canada’s market leaders
The Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) program is a $3 Billion annual R&D tax credit program administered by Canadian federal and provincial governments that offsets qualifying salary, overhead, material, and subcontractor costs incurred by businesses. Learn More
SRED Toronto claims are processed at the Toronto Centre Tax Services Office or the Toronto West-Thunder Bay Tax Services Office.
Over 20,000 companies across Canada received SR&ED tax credits from the federal government in 2019. The average tax credit received was over $150,000 per company. Your company doesn’t need scientists, lab workers in white coats, PhDs, or P.Eng’s to qualify for SR&ED R&D tax credits. Federal government statistics show that 98% of credits are awarded for experimental development work (ie not classic R&D work). If you design new products or process, carry out IT projects, invest to build your stock of proprietary knowledge and best practices, you may qualify for SR&ED credits. Custom IT work qualifies. Failed and abandoned projects qualify!
R&D tax credits are particularly targeted by the government at small business. Credit rates are higher for small business. Credits are refundable (ie all credits delivered as cheques) for small businesses. (Small business = CCPC, Canadian-controlled private corporation). Learn more about how to qualify
