Free Event
Presented by Canada Revenue Agency
Host: Sam Wasson
An open session with the staff who administer SR&ED rather than a firm that files on your behalf: what the program covers, where its scope actually begins and ends, and which misconceptions stop people claiming. It is the Government of Canada's largest federal incentive program for research and development, reaching more than 20,000 businesses a year by the listing's count, and it is explicit that pre-revenue startups qualify too. Questions are taken on the day.
Anu's Take
The program changed more in March than it had in years. Bill C-15 doubled the enhanced expenditure limit to $6 million and opened the 35% refundable credit to Canadian public companies for the first time. Whatever you were told about eligibility before that is worth re-checking, and these are the people who would know.
