Claim more tax credits to accelerate your growth.

The SR&ED program is an initiative of the federal and provincial governments, offering tax credits for businesses that invest in scientific research and experimental development. It makes it possible to recover some of the costs associated with innovation and the improvement of processes and products, or to reduce a company's taxes.

The amount depends on the size of your business, your research and development expenses, and your provincial and federal eligibility. We usually recover up to 70% of R&D labour costs, and between 35% and 50% of other eligible expenses. Optimal Credits optimizes your claim to get the highest refund.

Any business, regardless of size or sector, may be eligible if it does research or development that solves technological or scientific problems.

Eligible projects include work to develop new products, improve existing processes, or solve technical challenges, whether in manufacturing, technological, food, or other sectors.

Eligible costs include salaries for employees involved in R&D activities, materials used, and some subcontracting and equipment costs.

Optimal Credits helps you identify all eligible projects and expenses and prepare your file in order to maximize your tax credits while minimizing the risk of refusal.

The process includes preparing a file describing the projects, expenses, and results obtained, as well as monitoring the submission of this file to the tax authorities as part of your tax return.

The deadlines vary, but it generally takes between 1 and 6 months after submitting your claim to receive the credits, depending on the complexity of your case.
