SRED is a government incentive program to encourage companies in Canada to develop new products or processes or to conduct Applied Research.

You don’t need a high-tech lab or news-making breakthrough to qualify for SRED incentives. Baking cookies can qualify.

It depends on your industry
What qualifies for SRED differs in each industry. As a result, Revenue Services Group’s industry specialists maintain a database of activities that qualify for SRED incentives in each industry.

And how you represent your activities
Knowing which activities in your industry qualify and how to represent them to the CRA to quickly receive SRED cash refunds or tax credits is one of Revenue Services Group’s special strengths.

With as little time as possible invested in the SRED claim preparation process by your staff, our consultants work hard to ensure that you receive a significant SRED cash refund or tax credit.
