Navigating Canada’s Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax incentive program can be overwhelming. An experienced SR&ED consultant helps you maximize your tax credits while ensuring compliance with CRA guidelines. From identifying eligible projects to preparing airtight technical documentation and calculating allowable expenditures, SR&ED consultants streamline the entire claim process and reduce the risk of costly audits or rejections.
SR&ED consultants bring deep technical and financial expertise, which is critical because claims are judged on both scientific merit and strict accounting rules. They can identify overlooked projects, advise on proper time tracking, and prepare detailed project narratives to support your eligibility. Whether you’re a startup experimenting with a prototype or an established firm optimizing manufacturing processes, working with an SR&ED consultant can dramatically increase your success rate and recover substantial tax credits — in some cases up to 65% of eligible costs, depending on your province.
