SR&ED INVESTMENT TAX CREDIT

For thirty years, Belmonte Léger SEP has specialized in obtaining numerous government funding, tax credits, incentive programs and grants for its clients operating in various industries. Particularly, Belmonte Léger SEP is accredited by Emploi Québec for the certification in the SR&ED Tax Credit Training Program.

The Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) program is a billion-dollar incentive program. Both the federal and provincial governments encourage Canadian companies of all sizes and in all industry sectors to conduct SR&ED. This allows businesses to take risks and invest in innovation and leadership by subsidizing eligible SR&ED expenditures. The program is among the best sources of funding to companies undertaking technological improvement and development. In Canada, all activities in the field of science or technology that implement a systematic approach on experimental analysis to:

• achieve or attempt to achieve technological advancement
• overcome scientific and/or technological uncertainty

are potentially eligible for a deduction to reduce current or future income tax liability and an investment tax credit for eligible SR&ED expenditures. Thus, it is important to consult an SR&ED tax expert to ensure that this investment tax credit opportunity is not overlooked and that qualified expenditures are accurately verified.
