The SR&ED Tax Refund Dilemma | Avoid the Dangers of Waiting

The Canada Revenue Agency’s (CRA) SR&ED tax incentive refund can take up to 18 months for companies to receive. This could leave them with short-term cash flow problems while they wait for payment. Most businesses rely heavily on these funds to advance their technological and market position.

Waiting for a SR&ED tax refund can bring R&D projects to a halt and slow the momentum of innovation. For eligible companies, Easly can provide SR&ED refund financing within 72 hours of approval, and the approval process can be done within two weeks. Repayment is made directly to Easly from the CRA. This means companies don’t have to wait months for their refund to arrive, and the whole process is cash flow positive.
