The goals of the Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) Outreach Program are to:
- make the program’s information more accessible to Canadians through a client-centric approach;
- to promote the program’s vision to help foster a thriving research and development culture in Canada.
What is offered
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) provides education to eligible Canadian businesses that are seeking growth through innovation. The CRA is available to assist businesses that may not be aware of potential tax incentives, or that face challenges and barriers that discourage them from filing a claim. Working with industry sector representatives, professional associations, innovation and business facilitators that share our message with their clients can aid in expanding our outreach efforts.
CRA’s SR&ED Outreach Program officers work across Canada delivering presentations, hosting information seminars and webinars, and distributing informational products to raise awareness of the investment tax credits to which eligible businesses may be entitled. Our Outreach Program officers can:
- deliver an informational presentation for your business;
- display a booth or deliver a presentation at an event you are organizing;
- provide products tailored to your industry;
- let you know how to access SR&ED tax incentives;
- direct you to online tools and other resources.
How to request a visit
