The Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) program is Canada’s largest R&D tax incentive. It gives refundable tax credits to companies that work through technological uncertainty, meaning problems that existing knowledge couldn’t solve, using systematic testing and experimentation.

You don’t need a lab or a breakthrough; much of the eligible work happens in everyday product development.

If your team hit technical problems without a known solution, and tested approaches to solve them, part of that work likely qualifies, even if some attempts failed.

Failed experiments are often strong evidence. We’ll review your projects for free and tell you what qualifies before you commit to anything.

Eligible Canadian-controlled private corporations can earn a 35% refundable federal credit on up to $6 million of qualifying expenditures each year, up to $2.1 million.

Provincial credits can add to that, depending on where the work happens. We’ll estimate your claim before you sign anything.

Claim preparation is success-based: $0 upfront, and our fee is due only once your refund is secured. CRA review support is included. Review-only support for claims prepared by another firm is quoted per engagement.

About 5 hours per claim. We handle the interviews, report writing, and cost mapping. Your team shares what they know and approves the final claim.

No. We work from what you already have: project tools, code commits, tickets, calendars, and payroll records. We’ll identify any gaps and help you set up simple habits for future claims.

Of course. We’re happy to review your last claim and give you a second opinion, with no obligation.

SR&ED claims are due 18 months after the end of the tax year you’re claiming. Starting earlier makes the claim stronger, while the details are still fresh.
