Our Value-Added Services for SR&ED Express Success

Successfully navigating the SR&ED program requires more than technical knowledge, it demands translating innovation into the language of the CRA. Our team works closely with your technical staff to identify and frame eligible projects using SR&ED’s three-part test: technological uncertainty, advancement, and systematic investigation. Through guided interviews and documentation, we uncover and articulate the full SR&ED value of your work, creating a compelling technical narrative that aligns with CRA compliance standards.

We ensure you claim all eligible SR&ED expenditures, from salaries and materials to subcontractors and overhead, while maximizing your return without compromising compliance. We also equip your internal teams with an “SR&ED mindset,” strengthening future claims. With insights on CRA audit trends and policy updates, we help you stay ahead of the curve and minimize risk.

Many companies miss qualifying SR&ED work because it doesn’t fit the traditional mold. We help uncover all eligible activities, including those in gray areas. Beyond SR&ED, we advise on complementary government grants and funding programs, such as OMMITC, E-Business Tax Credit, Multimedia Tax Credits, the IP Box regime, and more, ensuring your innovation strategy taps into the full spectrum of available funding.

A strong claim isn’t just about value, it’s about defendability. We ensure your submission meets the latest CRA guidance and help implement robust documentation practices, including time tracking, experiment logs, and prototype records. From best-practice templates to full audit support, we provide the tools and confidence for a smooth review process.

No two companies are alike, so why should our fees be? We offer flexible service models, including contingency-based success fees, fixed-fee engagements, or à la carte support for specific needs like technical write-ups, training, or audits. Whether you’re seeking end-to-end service or targeted support, we tailor our approach to fit your goals, timelines, and internal capacity.

Frequently asked questions

The SR&ED program helps businesses recover a portion of the costs they invest in research and development. If your company is tackling scientific or technological challenges, whether through prototypes, testing, software development, or process improvements, you may be eligible.

Your work must aim to resolve technological uncertainty through a systematic process of experimentation or analysis, and you need to maintain detailed documentation throughout the investigation. Ayming turns SR&ED into a powerful tool to fuel innovation while improving your bottom line.

Ayming’s SR&ED Express offer is ideal for Canadian-Controlled Private Corporations, especially SMEs and emerging start-ups, looking to claim SR&ED quickly and efficiently.

It’s perfect when your expenses are straightforward (not combined with other grants or tax credits) and you have one or two clearly defined projects. With Ayming’s expertise, we streamline your claim so you receive the benefits faster, with minimal effort on your part.

With Ayming’s SR&ED Express offer, there’s no limit to the credit value you can claim. It’s designed specifically for small companies with straightforward SR&ED claims. The process is faster and easier, yet it can still unlock significant credit amounts. Simple projects. Big potential. All with Ayming guiding every step.

To file an SR&ED claim, you must submit the SR&ED form with your corporate T2 tax return, along with the federal Schedule 31 and any applicable provincial schedules. The deadline is 18 months after your fiscal year-end. Your claim must include clear technical descriptions of the work performed and accurate cost tracking. Working with Ayming ensures your claim is complete, compliant, and audit-ready, giving you confidence every step of the way.

In Canada, SR&ED claims must be filed within 18 months after your company’s fiscal year-end. This deadline is strict, miss it, and the credit is permanently lost. For example, if your fiscal year ends on December 31, 2025, your claim must be submitted to the CRA by June 30, 2027.

Ayming’s SR&ED Express offer is designed to ensure you never miss this window. We prepare and submit your claim on time, while keeping your involvement to a minimum.
