The SR&ED program is a federal tax incentive program supporting Canadian businesses of all sizes to invest in research and development (R&D). Based on individual experiences, positive and negative, there are many myths surrounding the eligibility criteria and audit process used by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

At over $3 Billion annually, this program is the largest source of funding in Canada, particularly for the software and high technology sectors. This SR&ED workshop is relevant to all levels of company size and familiarity with the program.

• Myths & Misconceptions of the program
• Indicators to identify what is considered SR&ED eligible
