From claim preparation and technical documentation to CRA review support, our team helps businesses recover valuable research and development costs through the Scientific Research and Experimental Development program.

What is the SR&ED Program?

The Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) program is a federal tax incentive designed to encourage innovation in Canada.

Businesses conducting eligible research and development can receive significant tax benefits, including:

  • Income tax deductions
  • Investment Tax Credits (ITCs)
  • Refundable credits for Canadian-controlled private corporations

For many businesses, SR&ED can recover a substantial portion of R&D costs, helping fund future innovation and growth.

More Than Just a SR&ED Claim

Preparing an SR&ED claim requires detailed documentation, technical reporting, and compliance with strict CRA requirements.

Many businesses miss eligible expenses or risk claim rejection because the process is complex.

MiAccounting provides full SR&ED support, helping businesses structure claims properly, maximize eligible expenditures, and navigate CRA reviews with confidence.

Our role is simple: make the SR&ED process clear, efficient, and optimized for the best possible outcome.
