Financing the SR&ED R&D Tax Credit, or Media and Film Tax Credits is, in our opinion, equivalent to the ' second coming '. A bit of a play on words, but signifies the added benefit that a tax credit loan brings to the already good news inherent in a tax credit claim in these two solid Canadian programs that offer government funding, not grants. Let's dig in.
SR&ED FINANCE LOANS IN CANADA - FUNDING THE SR ED CLAIM
While there have been a few times over the last years when everyone, ourselves included, tried to figure out where the SR ED TAX CREDIT was going it turns out that a lot of those changes simply solidified the program. While it's unclear whether the Billions of $ that the government provides via refundable tax credits will see a reduction in usage it’s absolutely clear on the other hand that the program is still in full force. Canada revenue agency administers the SR&ED claim process for your research and development work.
WHY IS SRED STILL THEMOST POPULAR REFUNDABLE TAX INCENTIVE PROGRAM IN CANADA
Yes, when it comes to R&D credit calculations some of the rates have dropped, and capital assets are no longer eligible - but truth be told the majority of claims have never really included the capital asset spend. Simply speaking the Scientific Research Experimental Development Program is still the largest program out there to allow Canadian business owners and financial managers the ability to recoup their R&D spend.
HOW DOES A SR&ED LOAN ACCELERATE CASH FLOW
Business owners can accelerate, or initiate that ' second coming ' by financing their SRED claim. While there seems little doubt that the government is committed to speeding up claim approvals ( they have a level of service standards around claim receipt acknowledgement /processing and reviews ) this whole process in many cases can take months and up to a year for the owner/manager to await the cheque for their claim.
Financing the claim simply accelerates the whole process - and super accelerations kick in if you choose to finance next year's claim - now! That's done by accrual financing, allowing you to start cash flowing next year's spend!
FILM /ANIMATION/TELEVISION/MEDIA TAX CREDIT BRIDGE LOANS
The other industry that also generates Billions of dollars in refundable (and financeable!) claims is the entertainment industry in Canada. Although we say 'Canada’, approved joint ventures/co-ventures can also utilized tax credit programs and of course financing.
The tax credits that come with film/TV/ animation are a key part of any total financing package in the industry. They in many cases form the largest part of the total finance package. Ontario, BC and Quebec based productions garner the majority of the action, but almost all provinces participate. Using Ontario as an example owners/producers can opt for any of the three major programs in place, OPSTC/OFTTC and OCASE.
FINANCING SR&ED and MEDIA TAX CREDITS
We comfortably can talk about bridge loan financing for both of these two programs because of key similarities. Those include:
