What you need to qualify
-
SR&ED is not only for the science buffs. You can claim SR&ED for many different research and development costs.
-
SR&ED eligible expenses that can be claimed are typically SR&ED wages, contractors and materials that are consumed or transformed within the research.
-
Provinces in Canada also have different tax credits that can be utilized in coordination with SR&ED at the federal level. This can lead to up to 60% of your research costs refunded back to your company at the end of each fiscal year.
-
Time and evidence tracking could make or break your claim. It isn’t a first priority for any regular business owner. CRA looks for more activity-based time tracking methods.
As of August 2022, Atlantic Canadian Businesses have received over
$7.2 million in SR&ED tax refunds through Colum Consultants Inc.

“After having a not-so-pleasant experience our first time around, we weren’t sure about claiming SR&ED again. Colum changed that mindset. Colum Consultants took charge of the situation and represented our research very well to the CRA.”
