SR&ED refunds come from the Canadian Government’s Scientific Research and Experimental Development program. This program rewards companies for conducting research and development activities throughout Canada.
When trying to make a SR&ED claim there is some criteria that must be followed:
- R&D being claimed must have taken place in Canada
- Proof that the money was used toward the claimed project (T4’s, cheques, invoices etc…)
- The company claiming must have ownership of the Intellectual Property resulting from the project
- The company must be up-to-date with respect to their government financial reporting
- The particular project expenses being claimed must have been received within the 12 months from the year-end being filed.
- Technological Uncertainty (no obvious solution to your problem)
- Systematic Investigation (removes technological uncertainties)
- Achieve Technological Advancement
