Solutions for IT
Imagine a team passionate about technology: they create software or a game, pushing the boundaries of computing. Then comes the challenge of funding and market requirements, and they find a unique partner: R&D Action. Together, we leverage key programs—from the federal SR&ED tax credit to Quebec’s CRIC, including the e-business CDAE-IA, the IRAP, and the C3I tax credit—to build not only an innovation, but a successful business.
Each credit, each grant becomes a step toward commercialization, export, and intellectual property protection. Thanks to this strategic support, the idea transforms into a product, the product into a success, and your team into a major player in the digital economy.
R&D Action Supports You
The software, gaming, and electronics sectors benefit from government funding programs. R&D Action combines tax credits and grants to structure the financing of your IT projects. For example:
SR&ED Tax Credit
Recover up to 73% of your experts’ salaries to fund your research and development activities.
According to the Canada Revenue Agency, more than a third of SR&ED (Scientific Research and Experimental Development) tax credit claims are for software and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The “CRIC”, Quebec SR&ED Tax Credit
Revenue Québec has modified its version of the SR&ED tax credit, now called the CRIC (Research, Innovation and Commercialization Tax Credit), and added pre-commercialization activities to the claim base.
The CDAE-AI Tax Credit
Receive 30% of your IT team’s salaries and optimize the profitability of your digital projects.
The CDAE-IA (Credit for the Development of E-Business – Artificial Intelligence) is a tax credit for IT companies that make significant use of AI functionalities.
IRAP
Receive funding at every stage of development, from prototype to market launch of your innovations.
The IRAP (Industrial Research Assistance Program) is a program of the NRC (National Research Centre of Canada) with criteria similar to SR&ED, but with the addition of commercialization activities. The advantage of IRAP lies in the fact that expense reimbursements are made throughout the year (e.g., quarterly), which reduces the impact on the company’s cash flow.
C3I
The acquisition of manufacturing equipment, processing equipment, and management software is covered by the C3I (Investment and Innovation Tax Credit) program of Revenu Québec.
