Funding Your R&D Work through the Federal SR&ED Program: A Talk on Free Government Advisory Services for Supporting R&D Software Projects in Canada



Synopsis:

The Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) Program is a federal tax incentive program designed to support Canadian businesses conduct qualifying research and development (R&D). Administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), the SR&ED program is the largest single source of federal government support for industrial R&D. For software firms, this means a potential source of funding to help stretch a tight R&D budget. Benefits include annual cash refunds and/or tax credits based on expenditures for eligible R&D work done in Canada.

How do I get started on a claim?
Are there “no cost” SR&ED services available from the government itself to guide me towards preparing a great claim?
