Countdown to the End of SR&ED Eligible Capital Expenditures (Views: 5500)

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

You have until December 31, 2013 to purchase and ensure new equipment is available for use if you want to claim SR&ED tax credits on this equipment. Following this date, equipment purchases will no longer be eligible for SR&ED tax credits. 

Salaries, materials consumed, materials transformed, contract payments, and overhead will remain eligible, but at a reduced rate of 15% instead of 20% for non-Canadian-controlled private corporations (the enhanced rate for Canadian-controlled private corporation will remain at 35%). As well, the prescribed proxy amount will be reduced to 55% of direct labor costs from 60% starting January 1, 2014 for all claimants.

It may be time to do some last minute Christmas shopping, if you want to benefit from the current SR&ED tax credit rules.
