What is SR&ED?
- The Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SR&ED) program is the largest Government of Canada initiative supporting Research & Development in Canada
- The objective of the SR&ED Program is to encourage Canadian businesses of all sizes and in all sectors to conduct Research and Development (R&D) in Canada.
- SR&ED provides over $4 billion in tax credits annually to approximately 20,000 claimants
- Typically ten percent of all SR&ED claims in a given year are new first time claimants
- What the program offers:
- Allowable SR&ED expenditures can be used to reduce taxable income for the current year or carried forward indefinitely
- Investment Tax Credits (ITC) which reduce the income taxes payable in the year. The unused balance may be refunded, carried back up to three years, or carried forward up to twenty years.

How can your business benefit from the SR&ED program?
- R&D powers innovation, competitive advantage, and growth.
- Canada’s strong federal and provincial tax incentives available for SR&ED activities make the after-tax cost of Research and Development activities much less expensive
- Participation in the SR&ED program provides effective tax planning opportunities which can have significantly beneficial financial implications
- The available provincial and federal Investment Tax Credits (ITC) incentives can reduce your actual SR&ED costs by up to 68.5%.
