SR&ED for Cosmetic Science & Personal Care

SR&ED for Aerospace & Automotive

Canadians are leading innovators in both the aerospace industry and automotive industry. Canadian aerospace companies conduct leading-edge research and manufacturing and development that reach around the globe — commercial aircraft & helicopters, avionics & flight simulation, engines & landing gear, and space systems, etc., and everything in between.

Canadian companies manufacture parts and components that are used throughout the automotive industry.

We can help your SR&ED tax credit claim get off the ground

If your company has spent time developing a new product or process in an attempt to address some of these new, non-standard demands in the aerospace or automotive industries, there may be an opportunity to receive a refund from the government for that work.

If your product or process development required you to try different approaches or generate and test prototypes that led to new knowledge, regardless of whether or not they were successful, you could receive a refund for the time and materials associated with this experimentation.

If your team has spent any time working on …

Developing mechanical components for use in engines or landing gear or safety equipment
Enhancing avionics and other electrical systems that push the limits of standard practices
Experimenting with alternative fuel/clean energy consumption or improving performance and fuel economy in non-standard ways
Improving efficiency and efficacy of the manufacturing of products to meet stricter safety standards or increase performance workflow
Or anything else that might fall into the SR&ED category [link to When Does standard R&D work Become SRED article]…

…then you need to talk to a SRED Unlimited consultant. Contact us today to find out how we can help your company.

Why you need SRED Unlimited

You need a knowledgeable consultant who knows what questions to ask and how to present your work so as to increase the chances of receiving a refund. You need a consultant who will walk with you from the beginning to the end of your claim process.

Going into this process, we were unsure of our ability to qualify for SRED tax credits and lacked the in-house resources and expertise for the research and preparation of a high-quality claim. SRED Unlimited managed the entire process of SRED claim preparation and submission with minimum involvement of our staff. We have subsequently received a significant refund and have retained SRED Unlimited to help strategize on new projects to ensure they qualify for maximum SRED credits.

After working with several SR&ED consultants and getting no success in filing our claims, we became skeptical of going into this process again. Our perspective was totally changed after we accepted a proposal from SRED Unlimited. Not only did experts from SRED Unlimited help us to successfully file four claims, but they also showed in-depth understanding of our business (environmentally friendly offset printing production) and assisted us in supporting our environmental commitment.

We were totally unaware that our company could qualify for SR&ED refunds. SRED Unlimited did an excellent job identifying the eligible projects and helping us with thorough filing preparation. As a result of our work with SRED Unlimited, we got two successful filings done. We received outstanding service and great commitment to the success of our filings, which took minimum involvement from us.

Rose Reisman Catering has been working with SRED Unlimited for the past three years. They have helped us organize our research and technology in testing our food products.

We have been working with SRED Unlimited and Dmitry Brusilovsky for the past 7 years. He has guided us through our first claim, our first audit and really helped us understand the process of uncovering all of our SRED type projects. We have pure research projects, research projects with the aim of commercializing new product lines and research projects aimed at improving our process, and each and every project is dealt with in a thoughtful step-wise approach to maximize our refund. Dmitry has shown a unique ability to grasp the underlying core of the research to help keep our narratives on track. It is hard to admit but when we were first contacted by Dmitry to let him help us prepare our SRED claim we were somewhat reluctant. Needless to say we would highly recommend his company to anyone. You have nothing to lose.

“A fantastic partner for us year after year. Dmitry and SRED Unlimited was recommended to us by another one of his clients which is always a great sign. We were a small 3-person tech startup back then when Dmitry took us as a client. He simplified the mystery of SR&ED and helped us with keeping clean records that eventually allowed us to focus on building our product instead of worrying about tax filing and writing reports. I would recommend Dmitry to any hi-tech company any minute.”

Mark Laurie – President Apply to Education

During our work together over the years, SRED Unlimited has shown the breadth and depth of their SRED program knowledge and experience, especially combined with technical expertise in software engineering and a background in computer science. In addition, I really value the efficiency and expertise shown by SRED Unlimited in handling accounting aspects of SRED claims on top of the rest of the claiming process.

Yakov Kazakevich – President and CTO Compulark Inc.

The technical experts at SRED Unlimited always seem to know what questions to ask, which shows their understanding of the technical and technological challenges faced by my company during experimental development. I’m also impressed with the way they process such a high volume of technical details and manage to distill all that into the most important points for a SRED application.

Darcy Darbyson – CTO & Creative Director Iconic Group

We’ve found John & Dmitry of SRED Unlimited to be great partners since day one. They make the data collection process easy and need only occasional input as they prepare our claim submission.

Bob Holmes – President Holmes The Finishing House

I think it’s safe to say the SRED Unlimited has saved us thousands of dollars that we would have otherwise “left on the table” had we relied on our own internal resources. Dmitry worked extremely well with our teams, often putting the required documents together under tight timelines and often with only minimal support from our developers when they were busy meeting their own deadlines. The service has been very worthwhile and I would recommend SRED Unlimited to any software company looking to maximize their available credits.

Terry Shane – President Refined Data Solutions

We have been fortunate to have been working with Dmitry and SRED Unlimited on our SRED applications for the past three years.

When an audit occurred, SRED Unlimited did not leave us to fend for ourselves, and successfully led us through the audit.

Ed Leavens – President, Datex

I found that other SRED consultants did not understand the technology intricacies of our products, and left the bulk of the technical work to my staff to complete. SRED Unlimited has shown a strong aptitude for determining where the technical uncertainties are and how they apply to SRED eligibility – without impacting my development team. They accurately assessed the scope and difficulty of our R&D projects with a few meetings – and without requiring that my staff do all the work first.

I would absolutely recommend them to anyone working and doing research in the manufacturing industry.

We have used SRED Unlimited’s services for the past two years and Dmitry and Leslie were wonderful to work with. Leslie really listened to us and expertly guided us on the application process for SRED credits. They did virtually all of the paperwork for the application and collaborated seamlessly with our company’s accountant. We simply had to wait for a cheque to arrive in the mail. This has been, by far, the most pleasant administrative experience of our business! Thank you!

For the last 3 tax years, we have worked with SRED Unlimited to establish a systematic method to properly identify projects that qualify for SRED claims. The consultations and guidance that we received helped our engineering team tremendously in the documentation process. This allowed us to produce optimized reports to be used to claim SRED credits. The follow-ups we received were a great asset when working with SRED Unlimited as they helped in meeting the submission deadline. We highly recommend their services!

SRED Unlimited has been critical in supporting our SRED claims for the last few years. Web development is expensive and sometimes risky. Dmitry and his team have enabled us to recover some of the costs related to our web development work that pushed the boundaries of the industry. With their help, we’ve set up sustainable systems for tracking our SRED-related costs and documenting all the steps in our SRED-applicable work. I recommend them to any team that pushes the boundaries of app and web development.
