SR&ED

Are you looking into applying to a Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) Tax Incentive Program from either the Canadian or Quebec government? The process might seem a bit daunting at first, but Cilex/Espace-O can help you with:
 

• Details on the available programs and their prerequisites.
   

• An assessment of your operations to determine which expenses could qualify for SR&ED tax incentives.
   

• Guidance through the process of filling out the T661 form, SR&ED Expenditures Claim.

​

​

More specifically,

Our team will examine your operations and assess whether your projects are eligible for SR&ED tax incentives. This process, divided in three steps, will be carried out in cooperation with you and your staff:

​

Step 1 – First meeting to outline the SR&ED program and visit the work environment (factory, workshop, laboratory, etc.) related to the SR&ED projects.

​

Step 2 – Evaluation of SR&ED projects and eligible spending, gathering any information relevant to the projects (all evidence, technical documentation, and details required for the forms).

​

Step 3 – Drafting of technical reports.

​

Please note that we do not offer accounting guidance for the financial aspect of the tax incentive claim for SR&ED. This part will have to be handled by your accountant.

​

To obtain SR&ED planning and claims services from Cilex/Espace-O, businesses must be incorporated.
