Tax refunds for R&D

Canada promotes innovation through one of the richest scientific research and experimental development (SR&ED) tax incentive programs in the world. Credits of 20–30% of the development costs for new or improved products and processes are available from the federal government, and additional provincial incentives may also be applicable.

With one of the country’s largest teams of dedicated SR&ED professionals, Ernst & Young can help maximize your SR&ED claims, leaving you free to run your business.

Making it easy

We hire engineers, scientists, and accountants with deep industry experience who understand the technological advancements being sought and how to best approach your claims. Every person on our team is a full-time SR&ED professional — we don’t “dabble” in SR&ED.

Whether you’d like advice on how to manage your claims in-house or wish to outsource the process entirely, a few hours spent with our team is a no-risk exercise that can reveal tax credit opportunities for current and previous years’ activities.
