The Scientific Research and Experimental Development Program
Funding is always a significant challenge for businesses ranging from early stage start-up to fully functional and mature organizations, in all sectors of the Canadian economy. The CRA Scientific Research and Experimental Development tax credit program is an “entitlement” program designed to inspire, encourage and support research and development in Canada. The program provides needed support, through cash tax refunds and tax credits to businesses in their efforts to achieve technological advancement or in the pursuit of solutions to technological obstacles encountered in the conduct of business.
Typically, tax refunds and credits are available within 60+ days of filing and SR&ED claim. The refunds can be used to boost your cash flow, re-vitalize your R&D program in efforts to enhance or maintain your competitive advantage in your marketplace by developing and introducing new and innovative products, materials and processes.
Green Hat Consultants have been invited to participate in the last 3 BCIT Commercialization Boot Camps through their presentation of the critical success factors that every business owner and manager should know about the SR&ED program.
