SR&ED and Innovation
Are you capitalizing on your business’ SR&ED activities?
We have heard it all: sales are down, global competition is pushing down manufacturers margins and increases in innovation and productivity is the only way to remain competitive. But how do you finance and plan for innovation when financial resources are scarce already?
Quite often manufacturers are not even aware that the activities they partake in on a day-to-day basis actually qualify as Scientific Research and Experimental Development, making those activities eligible for SR&ED tax credits.
The keynote speakers from Meyers Norris Penny will focus on real-life case studies from the trenches which will help attendees address specific questions, rounding out this high value session.
