R&D - Research and Development


We provide the most cost effective R&D services to the industry in the areas listed below. The cost savings come from Canadian Governments' tax incentives (NOT income tax reduction, but cash refund for R&D related expenditures).

Here is how it works: We do the R&D work for you at a very low rate. You pay for the services first. The Canadian Governments pay you a cash refund of 35% (federal) plus nearly 15% (provincial) for the eligible expenses. If your firm has to pay income tax for the year, you save another up to 38% of the eligible expenses on income tax. Well, the math is simple. you get the products at very little cost. For more detail on how to qualify for such low cost R&D, please contact us directly.
