FCG Consulting SR&ED Winnipeg Canada

Every year in Canada over 2 billion dollars of funding goes to small and medium sized manufactures through a little known program known as the SR&ED program. Your competitors might be the ones capitalizing on the program, and your company may also be eligible for work you have performed already or work you plan to perform. It is estimated that there is almost $2.5 billion dollars in funding that has qualified but goes unclaimed because companies are not aware of the program, not able to complete the submission accurately or on time, or are not aware that the type of work they are doing does actually qualify.

How does the program work?
The SR&ED program, formally known as the Scientific Research and Experimental Development program was introduced by the federal government in 1980 and has proven to be substantially beneficial for a wide variety of companies including food processors, manufacturers, medical companies , internet firms, software developers, video game developers and many others . It allows a maximum payment of $700,000 per year and can include wages, materials, overhead and possibly salaries for owners or managers. This may end up being a substantial sum of money for your business.

What types of companies will qualify?
Many companies currently in business assume they will not qualify for the program because they don’t have a specialized R&D department or revolutionary innovations taking place. This assumption is false and in fact many companies do qualify from work they may have already performed. The goal of the SR&ED program is to promote innovation in Canada in all sectors and to encourage Canadian companies to perform R&D that will lead to technologically advanced products or processes, therefore strengthening the competitive advantage of Canada. What may be holding some companies back from applying is the confusion around what exactly qualifies as technologically advanced products or processes.
