The CRA, in collaboration with Montréal InVivo and BIOQuébec, is interested in reaching out to businesses in the life science sector to address your questions and concerns, provide information and facilitate access to SR&ED tax incentives.
This initiative presents a great opportunity for you to get information and receive appropriate help in accessing SR&ED investment tax credits to support your research and development efforts.
The objectives of this proactive outreach engagement are to provide tailored assistance to you to:
