Why We Need to Open up to Innovation
Posted on December 2, 2013 by admin	Pierre Beaudoin, President of Bombardier Inc., delivered a speech to business leaders in Toronto on Wednesday, Nov. 13, as part of the Maclean’s Thought Leadership series. During this speech, he suggested that the taxable income and capital thresholds to qualify for the small business refundable Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax credit of 35% should be raised to alleviate some of the pressure faced by pioneering SMEs. Beaudoin believes that this would directly benefit the cash- strapped SMEs who have few options for securing the early-stage funding needed to advance their innovative ideas.

Posted on November 15, 2013 by admin	The recent Ontario Economic Update included proposed measures intended to promote capital investment including replacing existing R&D tax credits (SR&ED) with an incentive that would reward incremental R&D spending. This new credit would redirect support to incremental R&D expenditure growth, to encourage businesses to increase R&D and expand research operations in Ontario.

SR&ED Filing Requirements for Partnerships Updated
Posted on September 30, 2013 by admin	The CRA has recently released an administrative update on the SR&ED filing requirements for partnerships with corporations as members.
Under policies effective as of January 1, 2011, the Form T661 Scientific Research and Experimental Development Expenditures Claim should be filed at the partnership level along with the Partnership Information Return. The T661 should now be filed no later than 12 months after the earliest tax filing due date out of all the members of the partnership (for the tax period in which the partnership’s fiscal period falls). Each member would then be able to meet the deadline to claim the SR&ED investment tax credit (ITC) allocated to them.
A corporation that is a member of a partnership should no longer file Form T661 for the partnership along with its T2, Corporation Income Tax Return. ITCs allocated to corporations by partnerships must be supported by an information slip T5013, Statement of Partnership Income for the ITCs to be processed by the CRA.
A member of a partnership can still file the Form T661 on behalf of the partnership but the SR&ED claim will not be processed unless a partnership information return, in agreement with the Form T661, has been filed.
