SR&ED Tax Credit for Medical Research & Experimentation
Canada’s SR&ED tax credit program distributes over $3 billion to approximately 23,000 Canadian companies conducting research. If your company is engaged in medical research to improve efficacy of products and procedures, or overall quality of life for Canadians living with certain medical conditions, then you might qualify to receive a tax credit or refund.
If you encounter technological uncertainties during your product development and/or experimentation, and especially if the solution to the uncertainty cannot be found using standard methods or public knowledge, then you have an even stronger case for SR&ED.
As long as your company is incorporated in Canada, and the research and experimentation is carried out in Canada, then any associated eligible expenses could be claimable.
