Any activity performed in your company that meets the three criteria outlined in the tab "SR & ED Program" is eligible. Feel free to contact us so we can help you determine more precisely if the activities you performed in your company you would enable you to benefit from this program.

Many potential claimants feel they are not eligible for SR & ED program because their projects are not large or they do not perform their activities in a laboratory. You should know that any project meeting the three criteria can be included in your claim. This therefore includes the experimental development activities in a factory. Any improvement, even if slight, of a product or process may qualify for tax credits. In addition, current engineering projects can also become eligible from the time the knowledge and know-how of the technical team are no longer sufficient to complete the project.

The result of a project is not an eligibility criterion for the SR & ED program. In fact, the failure of a project can even show that it included technological obstacles and the team had to overcome his knowledge by following an experimental approach.

To make your claim, we must collect enough information to be able to describe the experimental approach taken by your team. You do not have to disclose exactly what your company secrets as long as we have enough data to be able to explain the eligibility of your project. In addition, our team meets the strictest confidentiality regarding all information you share with us.
