Can’t find the answer you’re after? Please contact our team
To be eligible for SR&ED Tax Credit in Canada, your work must be performed within the country and satisfy these two criteria:
The work should aim to advance scientific knowledge or achieve a technological advancement.
The work must involve a systematic investigation or exploration in a scientific or technological field, conducted through experimentation or analysis.
Your SR&ED claim will undergo processing within 60 calendar days from the moment we receive both your completed claim and your income tax return for the respective year.
For refundable claims chosen for review, the process is generally completed within 180 calendar days from the date we receive your complete claim.
Filing for the SR&ED Tax Credit does not inherently raise the likelihood of an audit. However, whenever you make changes or amendments to your tax returns, there is a marginal increase in the audit probability. What truly matters is having a proficient team with audit defense expertise to support and safeguard your interests.
This report outlines Research & Development (R&D) activities and their associated expenses. The core of the R&D Tax Credit lies in linking financial costs to technical research activities. This connection is the foundation for claiming the credit on tax returns. Without this link, the credit is invalid, and this is where Leyton’s technical report plays a vital role.
