Are You Maximizing Your SR&ED Claim?
If you have been claiming SR&ED for years, you may assume your claim is already optimized. However, differences in how eligible projects, technical work, labor, material and capital expenditure are identified and documented can significantly affect the benefit you receive.
EVAMAX can independently review your existing SR&ED approach to identify potential gaps, missed opportunities, and areas where your claim could potentially be strengthened.
- Review your current SR&ED claim methodology
- Assess if your technical reports describe the narrative that CRA expects
- Identify potentially overlooked eligible projects or activities
- Assess whether eligible expenditures are being captured appropriately
- Review the technical and financial support for your claim and advise how documentation could be improved.
- Provide guidance on applying SR&ED best practices to improve the claim’s overall quality, compliance, and audit readiness.
- Maximize your claim
Innovation Funding Strategy - Second Opinion
Already working on a Grant or Funding Application? Make sure you are applying for the right program, and presenting your project in the strongest possible way, meeting & exceeding the program assessment rubrics. Government funding programs can have specific eligibility requirements, deadlines, cost categories, and application criteria. An application that does not clearly align a company's project with the program's objectives may miss an opportunity for funding.
EVAMAX can review your proposed or existing grant application and provide an independent assessment of the opportunity.
- If you have a grant application in progress a second opinion can be helpful to review your project's alignment with program objectives or identify gaps in the application
- Assess whether eligible costs and activities are being captured
- Strengthen the presentation of your project and business case
- Identify potentially complementary funding programs
- Develop a broader funding strategy for future projects
- A company pursuing R&D funding, for example, may also qualify for programs supporting commercialization, hiring and training, exports, technology adoption, or business expansion.
- Make sure you are not missing out on any funding opportunities!
