Welcome to the most comprehensive website on Canada’s Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax incentives. 

What is SR&ED?

Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax incentives are designed to encourage Canadian businesses of all sizes and sectors to conduct research and development (R&D) in Canada. SR&ED tax incentives provides over $4.2 billion in tax benefits annually to more than 21,500 claimants, approximately 64% of whom are small businesses.

Many businesses confuse innovation with SR&ED – but the policies that govern SR&ED are very strict. If you believe SR&ED and innovation are the same, you may be in for a surprise!
