SR&ED Tax Credits
Receive Retroactive Research Tax Credits on R&D Projects.
Businesses located in each Canadian territory are eligible for the federal Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax credit program. This page covers the territorial variants of the SR&ED program.
Currently, only the Yukon has its own variant of the SR&ED funding program, which can be stacked with the federal variant of SR&ED. This program is called the Yukon Research and Development Tax Credit. Currently, there currently is not a territorial SR&ED variant for the Northwest Territories, or Nunavut.
