Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies for the SR&ED tax credit?
Work must meet the CRA’s “Why” and “How” tests: it must pursue a technological advancement by overcoming uncertainties through a systematic investigation or experiment.
Can we claim SR&ED for failed projects?
Yes. Eligibility is based on the pursuit of knowledge and the systematic process, not the commercial success or technical completion of the project.
What is the deadline for an SR&ED claim?
Corporations must file within 18 months of their fiscal year-end. Missing this hard deadline results in a permanent loss of the tax credit for that year.
How much can my company get back?
CCPCs can receive a 35% refundable ITC on the first $6 million of qualified spend. Other corporations typically receive a 15% non-refundable credit.
Can we claim contractor costs?
Yes. You can generally claim 80% of fees paid to arm’s-length Canadian contractors, provided the work was performed in Canada and you retain the IP.
Do we need timesheets for every hour?
While “contemporaneous” logs are the gold standard, the CRA accepts various forms of evidence (meeting notes, version control, project logs) that prove a systematic investigation occurred.
