Is your innovation funding and SR&ED claim affected by the 2017 Budgets and in line with current CRA expectations?
Innovation is one of the new buzz words being increasingly used by the Federal Government. "Science" has become more ingrained in their approach to funding innovation and some ministers have even had the word "Science" added to their portfolio titles. The 2017 Federal Budget on March 22nd may make changes to the Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SR&ED) program, and there will likely be other trends emerging in terms of government support for their 'Innovation Agenda' in Canada.
We invite you to attend our lunch session to be among the first to hear PwC's interpretation of current trends towards innovation funding, and any changes to the SR&ED program, so you can understand how they will potentially impact your innovation funding activities and SR&ED claims in future.
We will share the latest information on SR&ED and other important tax credit programs, such as the BC Interactive Digital Media Tax Credit, to help you understand, in part, the current approach the CRA is taking on file audits to ensure your claim is truly 'review ready'.
PwC's Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SR&ED) Partners Ted Bell and Jason Cheng will outline the current innovation funding environment and current CRA policy related to SR&ED, and explain what current trends might mean for you.
