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.
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!
If you want to know whether you qualify for SR&ED tax credits, G6 Consulting can perform a no-charge evaluation. Most companies assume that they do not qualify for these tax credits because they do not employ scientists, engineers, or lab workers. Here are some industries that can be eligible for SR&ED:
The above are just a few examples of companies that can benefit from SR&ED tax refunds. Contact us, and we’ll assess if your company has eligible activities and projects.
Our premium Audit Support and Claim Defense service (link to audit defence services page) is free to all G6 SR&ED customers.
