Financing Sred Credits Will Get You Everywhere: The SR ED Refundable Tax Credit Loan

Ctrl Alt Delete : Rebooting Your SR&ED Claim Via A ‘SRED’ Bridge Loan

OVERVIEW – Information on financing sred ( SR&ED ) tax credits in Canada. A SR ED tax credit loan provides immediate monetization of your refundable tax credit for Canada’s Scientific Research & Experimental Development r&d program

Financing SRED (‘SR&ED’) credits in Canada is almost like rebooting your SR ED claim. A tax credit loan allows you to get an immediate reimbursement under Canada's Scientific Research & Experimental Development program.

Utilizing the cash from your refund has a dual benefit - you've eliminated the wait period in what for many firms is in effect a very important ' receivable', and at the same time it allows you to forge on in your competitiveness in today’s global marketplace.

Financing of your claim of course has nothing to do with your actual eligibility of the program... that's up to you and your ' Sred Consultant '. That whole process becomes the actual determination of how your products or processes qualify. Consultants on your claim work on either a fixed fee or a contingency fee basis - it's your decision although most appear to take contingency given it transfers all risk to the consultant!

Timing not only involves the financing of your claim and its monetization - you also have to ensure your filing deadline under your actual claim submission are in accordance with CRA guidelines.

Your SR&ED claim has several key elements, all of which hopefully maximize the total amount of your refund, and therefore your eligible financing. (NOTE - The tax credit loan is typically 70% of the total value of both your provincial and federal claim - the larger the refund the more you of course can finance)

Financing of your claim simply involves a basic business credit application that you would anticipate with any other type of financing. Naturally the ' collateral ' for the loan is in essence the actual refund itself. That refund depends on the quality of your narrative in the claim, the amount of employees of contractors that were paid and participated in the claim, etc.

The true power of the ' SHRED' refund is of course your ability to recoup the maximum amount of cash - the total cash refunded under the program is in the Billions of dollars in Canada under combined federal and provincial parts of the program. Typical refunds are in the 30-40% range based on the total amount of your R&D. Again, it’s your Sred consultant and accountant that have the obligation to maximize that claim for your company.

Your actual SR&ED is filed along with your T2 tax return. You can start to see the benefits of a sr ed tax credit loan by taking a look at the total timelines we're talking about - i.e. actually doing your r&d, preparing a claim with your consultant, and then filing it after your year end financial are prepared. Then of course potential audits and review by CRA of your claim kick in.

As we have noted financing refundable SR&ED credits is a very simple process. You typically would only consider financing a claim if you have a need for cash. Financing your claim should be measured against your needs and uses of the cash. Typical claims can be financed in a manner of weeks.

If you're looking for a SRED ' reboot ' - i.e. in our case the monetizing of your refund seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business Financing Advisor with a track record of success who can assist you with your tax credit loan needs.
