What is SR&ED, and could you claim it?
SR&ED is Canada's largest R&D incentive. It returns cash and tax credits to companies that work to solve technical problems. If you pay people to develop or improve a product, process, or technology, there is a good chance some of that work qualifies. This calculator gives you a quick estimate of what your refund could be worth.
