Best practices for SR&ED project management include clearly defining project goals and scopes to align with SR&ED eligibility criteria. It’s crucial to maintain detailed documentation of experiments, hypotheses, and results to substantiate claims. Implement a systematic approach to track time and resources spent on SR&ED activities. Regular training for team members on SR&ED processes and requirements ensures compliance and maximizes claim potential. Collaborate closely with financial and technical advisors to accurately capture all eligible expenditures and activities. Finally, review and refine SR&ED processes regularly to adapt to changes in tax laws and project outcomes, ensuring continuous improvement and compliance.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) uses specific criteria to determine if work qualifies for Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax incentives. Primarily, the work must advance scientific knowledge or achieve technological improvement. The CRA looks for projects that address clear scientific or technological uncertainties and attempts to solve these through systematic investigation by experiment or analysis. Eligible work includes basic research, applied research, and experimental development, aimed at creating new, or improving existing, materials, devices, products, or processes. Documentation demonstrating the pursuit of these advancements and the nature of the uncertainties involved is essential for substantiating a claim.
Help with grant applications can be obtained from business advisors, local business development centers, or professional grant writers. Many of these services offer workshops, templates, and one-on-one counseling to help you craft a winning application.
Projects that qualify typically include interactive digital media products that are interactive and either educational, informative, or entertainment-focused. This includes video games, interactive websites, and educational software, but excludes projects primarily for advertising or promotional purposes.
Common mistakes include incomplete applications, failing to follow application instructions, providing inaccurate information, and missing deadlines. Ensure thoroughness, accuracy, and timeliness in your application to improve your chances of success.
