SR&ED Tax Credit for Manufacturing Companies in Canada

Innovation and experimental development are necessary for Canadian manufacturers to remain competitive within an ever-evolving industry. Such work, which many might consider just “part of the job” might actually be eligible for the SR&ED tax credit/refund program.

Manufacturers are “primarily engaged in the physical or chemical transformation of materials or substances into new products,” which encompasses the use or development of:

  • Plastics & rubber
  • Textiles
  • Tool and die processes
  • Printing & packaging materials
  • Transportation equipment
  • Electronics components
  • Steel
  • Machinery

Where’s smoke there’s … SR&ED?

If your company projects included:

  • Integrating component parts not originally designed to fit or work together,
  • Blending materials in non-standard ways, or developing new materials to address a problem standard materials couldn’t solve
  • Developing new finishing procedures or protocols of manufactured products
  • Reformulating or adjusting products or equipment to achieve a certain objective
  • Improving a process (i.e.: safety, product consistency, from manual to automated)

…you could receive up to 35% of your eligible expenses back as cash in your pocket.
