SR&ED Services

What Hi-Tech Can Do For You?

We can advise you in advance how to perform and document your R&D activities so that your Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax credit claims are hassle-free. We can also guide your claim through the initial application process to any post-filing appeals.

Our services include:

  • Discuss your project informally to provide professional advice about whether your project will qualify
  • Interview your technical staff to identify projects that may meet the CRA eligibility criteria and gather data for project eligibility reports
  • Identify all costs associated with the projects
  • Prepare all the technical and financial prescribed forms for you and work with your accountant to ensure the forms are properly handled
  • Provide advice on appropriate record keeping methodology
  • Assist you in the event of an eligibility review by the CRA with our expert representation
  • Counsel you on a strategy and parameters for future and on-going claims

Writing a project report for SR&ED offers special challenges because it requires the knowledge of diverse technical terminology as well as the CRA eligibility criteria. We offer comprehensive and customized writing for various industries. We recognize that the challenge in writing such a document is that it must be thorough enough to cover all your research and development work while being precise in order to effectively communicate the results of your work.
