Raise Your Expectations CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS AND BUSINESS CONSULTANTS

Canada Canada offers a tax credit of 20 percent to 35 percent through its Scientific Research and Experimental Development program. Many provinces have additional credits. Qualified expenses must advance the understanding of scientific relations or technologies, address scientific or technological uncertainty, and incorporate a systematic investigation by qualified personnel. R&D tax incentives are offered in many other countries, including China, Australia, Japan, India and Korea. Companies that incur significant expenses in research and development activities should consider the potential savings through R&D tax credits. If you think your company can benefit from the R&D incentives in the U.S. or globally, please contact either Matt Sprenger at 314-290-3357 or Linda Paradis at 314-290-3382 or your RubinBrown partner.
