Sr&ed Claim Preparation RETRIEVING FEDERAL AND PROVINCIAL INVESTMENT TAX CREDITS.

Federal/Provincial R&d Tax Retrievers Reduce your research investment costs by filing for SR&ED tax credits. Trust the experts. Braithwaite Technology Consultants Inc. (BTCI) can assist you in obtaining tax credits for research and development activities. We take the uncertainty out of the filing process and relieve pressure on internal resource requirements. Our consultants each have many years of experience with the SR&ED tax credit program. Some are former Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) reviewers. They can help you in every step of the way: identifying eligible activities, preparing claim forms, gathering and keeping documentation and defending claims during audits. We can save and make you money Applying for the SR&ED credit can be complex. Writing reports and costing activities addressing CRA specific requirements veer company employees away from core activities. The process can also be expensive. There are internal costs involved in the identification of projects and the collection of documents. There is also an opportunity cost of not properly identifying a project or underestimating its size. And there are extra costs if a firm needs to defend a poorly prepared claim. No doubt some companies believe it is not worth their time and leave SR&ED tax credits unclaimed. However, successful claims can significantly improve bottom-lines. This is where BTCI can come in and assist your company. For over twenty years we have helped clients to recover a significant portion of the cost of their investment in R&D. Based on a time proven methodology, our consultants can handle the tasks involved in making a claim, maximizing your return and reducing the burden on your own resources. Simple and proven methodology Through interviews our consultants gain an in-depth understanding of your processes and products, gathering the necessary information to prepare technical and financial reports. Our experience with tax laws allows us to assist you in identifying eligible activities, and properly applying costs to those activities. We only advise a company to apply for a credit when there is a high eligibility potential. At BTCI you deal with senior consultants It takes us two years to train an experinced accountant to effectively apply costs to SR&ED activities and to calculate tax credits.
