SR&ED Services

The Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax credit is a federal tax incentive program encourages both small and large businesses to engage in research & development with the goal of creating or improving existing products, processes, principles, methodologies, or materials.

The goal of the Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax credit is to provide Canadian companies with money to help reduce costs associated with undertaking capital expenditures that would normally be considered “too risky” to otherwise incur.

Tax credits awarded to privately held Canadian corporations range from 20% to 35% of eligible Research and Development costs incurred on a specific project or initiative. Individual taxpayers and trusts may also be eligible for the Scientific Research & Experimental Tax credit at the basic rate of 15% on qualified expenditures. The tax credit must be applied against taxes payable and the remaining credits can be refunded, up to a maximum of 40%.

At Capstone LLP we work in partnership with a variety of scientists, software developers, engineers, technicians, and government related agencies to help identify and benefit from various funding opportunities available to business owners.
