Scientific Research and Experimental Development Tax Incentive Program
Important notice
The Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) Program is returning to normal activities. We are starting to contact claimants by phone to advance reviews to allow new and remaining claims to be processed. Currently, most claims are being processed and refunds issued in a timely manner. If you are receiving the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy, please see What’s new – SR&ED Program to understand how this wage subsidy might impact your future SR&ED claim.
For more information on tax and benefits measures to help support Canadians during the COVID-19 pandemic, go to Changes to taxes and benefits: CRA and COVID-19.
