In the realm of cutting-edge technology, 3D printing stands as a revolutionary force. It is transforming the way we design, manufacture, and innovate.
This transformative technology has the potential to revolutionize industries from healthcare to aerospace. But its development and implementation require significant investment. Expenses include wages paid to engineers, technicians, and contractors, as well as expensive filaments and powders.
Fortunately, the Canadian government recognizes the immense potential of 3D printing. And offers generous SR&ED (Scientific Research and Experimental Development) tax Incentives to support businesses at the forefront of this technological revolution.
SR&ED Tax Incentives provide a powerful financial program for businesses to invest in research and development. Particularly in areas like 3D printing, where innovation is crucial for success.
These incentives can reimburse a significant portion of eligible expenses, including salaries, consumed materials, contracting costs, and overheads associated with developing new 3D printing technologies and applications.
In 2024 alone, the CRA issued a total of approximately 3.5 billion CAD in tax incentives to over 17,000 claimants, with typical claim sizes ranging from tens of thousands of dollars up to millions.
