What are SR&ED tax credits?
Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SR&ED) is a Canadian government tax credit program aimed at encouraging businesses of all sizes to conduct R&D to develop new — or improve existing — methods, processes, services and products. SR&ED Tax Credits provide non-dilutive growth funding to eligible Canadian businesses to offset the cost of innovation.
What can you recover?
Up to 73% of eligible R&D expenses (depending on your province) may be refunded from CRA. Eligible expenditures include salaries, sub-contractor fees and materials.

Where expertise meets experience
“Flow is the SR&ED consulting firm every company should be working with. Their SR&ED evidence gathering process ensures our SR&ED claims are beyond reproach. We received a 10X larger credit than with our previous provider and received our return in under 3 weeks. Beyond SR&ED, the Flow team uses their knowledge and network to help us access other resources such as grants and customers. I highly recommend their work.”
