SR&ED FUNDING & FINANCE - FINANCING YOUR REFUNDABLE TAX CREDITS
SRED Credit financing in Canada continues to be a strategic way in which your firm can stay competitive and at the same time take advantage of the cash flow financing and working capital benefits that come with an SR&ED loan via the refundable tax credit program. It's about encouraging businesses to better cash management 101, while at the same time retaining ownership of your business in the early stages!
We're examining why tax incentive sr&ed credit loans work to allow you to access capital! Let's dig in!
WHY SRE&ED FUNDING / SR&ED Tax Credit Loans
SR&ED Debt Finance provides the opportunity for businesses to access their future SR&ED refundable tax credit in advance. The Sred tax credits are treated as receivables and provided with funding facilities vis a term loan structure, without any monthly payments via the credits under the incentive program. Sr ed is even more cost effective by financing your claim in advance of filing.
What Is The R&D Tax Credit
While pretty well everyone agrees that the Canadian R&D capital refundable tax credit via the Canada Revenue Agency is one of Canada's best programs for maximizing research and development incentives it's unclear whether the advantages of an SR&ED are fully understood.
SR&ED financing is a valuable tool for businesses of any size. By using this type of tax-advantaged financing, companies can free up cash flow that they would have otherwise spent on employee salaries or purchasing materials and equipment with no immediate return - instead investing in other areas which will generate stronger returns over time!
GROWTH FUNDING & SR&ED FINANCING SOLUTIONS
Not only is the program applicable to almost every industry in Canada, but at the same time business owners and financial managers can compound the power of this program by financing your claim via an SR ED financing loan. The key benefit of that loan? Cash for your SR ED claim now!
Let’s recap some of the key aspects of the program as they relate to your ability to monetize ‘your tax credit into real cash flow and working capital now. Also, let’s recap and focus on some current issues in your ability to access and maximize your SRED claim.
If you aren’t filing an SRED claim you certainly can’t finance one. The Canadian government both federally and provincially reimburses billions of dollars annually to Canadian businesses in all industries. A few industries seem more tailor-made than others for SRED claims, for example, Software and information technology.
The SR&ED program certainly doesn't discriminate against any one industry. Your firm can be a commercial bakery, a sign company, a biotech firm, a software development company, or an industrial manufacturer. Bottom line? Every industry is eligible in some manner.
Your claim of course needs to be prepared by a knowledgeable third party. In Canada, this essentially is an accountant who is proficient in SRED or a third party commonly called an 'SRED consultant’. Typically, but not always, the consultant you engage will be a specialist in your industry. That's a plus of course but the reality is that even if your firm is preparing your own claim (rare but possible) it can still be financed, although the claim will be subject to some form of due diligence no doubt.
Recent changes in the entire SR&ED process can both help and hinder your firm in maximizing your total SRED credit. Naturally the larger the claims the more amount of cash you can finance under tax credit financing.
Canada Revenue Agency has clearly focused on streamlining the program - forms are found online at the government website, and in some cases have dramatically been simplified. For example, the new online form limits the overall technical description of our claim to only 1400 words.
In general, almost 75% of claims are not fully audited and are therefore approved and somewhat fast-tracked for refund.
What Are The Requirements For A SR&ED tax credit loan?
How do some of the new forms and rules affect your ability to finance your claim? When it comes to financing your SRED claim it is critical to work with an experienced, credible, and trusted third party. Claims are generally financed at 70% of their overall value. Therefore your ability to have your claim fully documented, prepared by a credible third party, and fast-tracked into the ‘non audit‘ 75% of all claims is a solid SRED financing strategy.
We referenced that claims are financed at 70%. That simply means that the larger your claim you can receive immediately, on financing approval .70 cents on the dollar for your claim. You of course still receive the rest of the claim, less financing costs, when your claim is approved and funded by Ottawa.
