Requirements for SR&ED
On a primary level, you need to be involved in scientific and technological R&D. You need to be working towards uncovering scientific or technological knowledge that has not been known previously within the public or industrial domains and/or, you need to be developing or improving products and processes to advance technology.
Claim SR&ED Credits
You need to file your SR&ED claim within 18 months after the fiscal year has ended. We recommend you file it 6 months after the year end, which is typically in June, if your fiscal year ends in December. If you fail to file your claim in the given time frame, then unfortunately it becomes time barred. CRA does not allow late submissions for SR&ED tax credits.
