SR&ED (Scientific Research and Experimental Development) is the largest and most important tax incentive program in Canada.

Every year the government processes approximately 20,000 applications and dispenses approximate $ 4 Billion in tax relief and cash refunds to Canadian industry. But yet, two-thirds of eligible companies do not apply. Many companies that do claim are rejected due to poor presentations and insufficient documentation. We can help establish your claim.

Dr Kanayalal Raina Inc. offers the most comprehensive and sophisticated SR&ED solution in Canada. We have talented technologist consultants and associates who are experts in SR&ED. 

We will provide you with several options for documentation and methodology for compiling compliant evidence to corroborate your claim. We provide evidence support services, SR&ED check-ups throughout the year, plus professional representation during audits
