Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before working with us.
What is SR&ED and how can it help my business?
SR&ED stands for “Scientific Research and Experimental Development,” a Canadian tax incentive program that supports businesses engaging in R&D activities, providing financial benefits through tax credits or refunds to help cover R&D costs and reinvest in innovation.
What work is eligible for SR&ED Tax Credit?
To be eligible, your work must be performed within Canada and either aim to advance scientific knowledge or achieve a technological advancement, through systematic investigation or experimentation.
What are the benefits of hiring an SR&ED consultant?
An SR&ED consultant provides strategic guidance to help you maximize the program’s benefits ensuring your processes align with CRA standards, identifying eligible activities, and optimizing your claim submission from start to finish.
How long will it take to get my SR&ED claim?
Claims are typically processed within 60 calendar days of the CRA receiving your completed claim and income tax return. Refundable claims selected for review generally take up to 180 calendar days.
Why is the technical report important in SR&ED claims?
The technical report links your R&D activities to their associated expenses the foundation for claiming the credit. Without this link between technical work and financial cost, the credit is invalid.
Does filing for SR&ED increase my chance of a CRA audit?
Filing itself does not inherently raise audit likelihood, though amendments to tax returns carry a marginal increase. What matters most is having a team with audit defense expertise on your side.
