Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, several non-governmental organizations offer grants to SMBs in Canada, especially in fields such as environmental sustainability, social enterprise, and innovation. These organizations often seek to support projects with specific social, environmental, or economic impacts.

The SR&ED claim process in Canada involves several key steps. First, businesses identify projects and expenditures that qualify under SR&ED criteria, which include systematic investigation and technological advancement. Next, they document their research activities and related expenses. Companies then complete and submit Form T661 along with their tax return, providing technical reports that describe their projects and expenditures. Supporting documentation, such as payroll records, contracts, and project notes, should also be prepared in case of a review by the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency). After submission, the CRA reviews the claim, which can lead to queries for further clarification before final approval and issuance of tax credits or refunds.

  2. Clean Technology Manufacturing Investment Tax Credit: This credit provides a 30% refundable tax credit for investments in machinery and equipment used to manufacture or process key clean technologies, as well as extract, process, or recycle certain critical minerals essential to clean technology supply chains.

Yes, you can apply for a tax credit for projects that include both eligible and non-eligible components. However, you must clearly separate the expenses and only claim the tax credit on the labor costs directly associated with the eligible aspects of the project.

The SR&ED tax credits can significantly fund your business by offsetting R&D costs through tax relief or refunds. To leverage SR&ED credits, identify projects that involve technological advancement or address scientific or technological uncertainties. Document all qualifying expenditures, including salaries, materials, and third-party payments. Submit a detailed SR&ED claim with your tax return, outlining your R&D activities and expenses. Successful claims can result in either reduced tax liability or cash refunds, providing critical funding to reinvest in further R&D or other areas of your business. Consider consulting with an SR&ED specialist to optimize your claim and ensure compliance.

Eligible labor costs are calculated based on the salaries and wages paid to employees who are directly involved in the development of the eligible digital media project. This includes programmers, designers, and content developers. The calculation excludes costs related to administration, marketing, or distribution.
