SR&ED Technical Report Expertise
The purpose of the SR&ED report is to explain how the claim meets the SR&ED programobjectives and criteria. Producing a technical report includesidentifying SR&ED-eligible activities,collecting and analyzing technical details, andwriting the final report. A great report is crucial in ensuring that CRA accepts your filing quickly and without question. Our extensive experience with SR&ED supports an effective process to ensure all relevant details are included in your report,commensurate with the size of your claim. We also know what to leave out; the limited word count must be focused only on SR&ED-relevant details. Ourobjective is to ensure that when the CRA reviews your SR&ED report, they clearly recognize the validity of your claim, leading to approval without further investigation or delays.
SR&ED Financial information processing
The purpose of SR&ED financial processing is to determine the size of the SR&ED claim. It involves calculating SR&ED-eligible salary expenditures, which can be significantly different from how a business typically calculates project cost. Some types of business income must be partially or completely backed out of the SR&ED claim. Some corporate and financial structures require careful review and application of rules specific to a SR&ED claim. We ensure the rules are followed to the best advantage of your company and we can make suggestions to improve claim size in the future if an alteration to financial structure makes business sense. This forms the basis of an accurate and correct SR&ED calculation.
Documentation Advice
Documentation is important for a SR&ED claim because it reminds staff what SR&ED-related activities they carried out which often increases the size of the SR&ED claim as it is easy to forget the specifics of work carried out many months previous to data collection. It is also necessary to support the SR&ED claim in the event of an audit.
There is single “best” approach to producing and collecting SR&ED-relevant documentation; it depends very much on how each company operates. We work with you to decide on the most effective approach for your company with the least impact and effort. We provide guidance to help you:
– Create and collect contemporaneous documentation to support the SR&ED claim
– Track time and expenses yielding solid financial calculations that can CRA will accept
– Streamline project management integration
– Improve audit readiness and claim defensibility
– Build on your existing systems
– Improve SR&ED compliance with minimum additional effort
By following our advice, SR&ED claim preparation becomes faster, easier, more accurate and more defensible. Let us help you develop a seamless process that complements your operations while optimizing your SR&ED tax incentives.
