Canada offers some of the most generous R&D tax incentives among industrialized nations and, within Canada, Quebec is the jewel. In many cases, corporations performing qualifying R&D activities can recoup well in excess of 50% of their costs. Surprisingly, what constitutes a qualifying R&D activity is rather broadly defined, resulting in many corporations being eligible for these significant tax breaks without even thinking they could possibly qualify.  Generally, any corporation that does manufacturing and processing will usually have at least some activities that qualify for R&D tax credits.

Nexia Friedman has extensive experience in preparing and filing R&D claims for its clients and, through its relationships with many R&D technical consultants, has become an expert at facilitating the process of uncovering a corporation’s qualifying R&D activities, and collaborating with the R&D technical consultants to ensure that our clients are identifying all possible eligible activities and maximizing the R&D claims that they are entitled to.
