The SR&ED Program

The Canadian government recognizes economic growth and sustainability can only be attained if our businesses continue to invest in innovation and R&D, achieving advancements in knowledge over our global competitors, which is why the SR&ED (Scientific Research & Experimental Development) program was created; to ensure Canada remains a strong economic leader.

SR&ED is the most significant economic development program, supporting businesses of all sizes and across all sectors, including sectors that do not involve a lab and what one might consider stereotypical research. This program offers support to businesses that have a problem to solve and where the answers cannot be found in the public domain, helping business owners create new knowledge.

Since SR&ED is a tax credit, if you are operating a Canadian Controlled Private Corporation (CCPC) you will not only benefit from the highest rate of recovery (up to 72%), but the tax credit is also refundable. This means the government will issue the company a refund cheque irrespective of whether the company has any taxes payable for that fiscal year.

SR&ED ONE provides free initial assessments of eligibility and only gets paid if you recieve your tax incentive.

It's risk free! Contact us directly either by phone 1.877.266.0005. or email principals@ideaciaone.ca to discuss how SR&ED ONE might be able to help your business recover money from your R&D and innovation initiatives.
