SR&ED Credits for Canadian Business
SR&ED Tax Credits are available to a Canadian business in ANY industry that has contributed to the advancement of scientific knowledge or technology by creating new or improving upon existing products, processes, materials and devices.
Keep in mind SR&ED claims are “activity” specific, not “industry” specific, meaning a Canadian company in any industry is entitled to funding, provided they have completed one or more eligible SR&ED activities.
