It is important to note that if you use IRAP for any project, it must be noted in any other funding you apply for.īoth programs, if used effectively allow for the growth of your business and Canada as a whole. This allows your business to plan effectively and improve the certainty of cash flow for projects. Meanwhile, SR&ED can be utilized for material and overhead costs for a relevant project. Therefore, both programs can be utilized effectively based on what expenses your company has or will incur the most of.įor example, for certain projects, that may not be completely SR&ED eligible, businesses could choose IRAP for a project involving large quantities of salaries and/or subcontractor costs as this program offers a higher contribution for these expenses. Meanwhile, IRAP contributes for R&D activities that are not necessarily SR&ED eligible. You cannot claim due diligence activities in SR&ED, but only experimental development can be claimed. No SR&ED and IRAP StackingĬonflict often arises between both programs when a client wants to utilize SR&ED and IRAP for the same project. IRAP is recommended for large projects consisting of large quantities of payroll and subcontractors. This alleviates the impact of R&D activities on the company’s fiscal matters as you know what to expect. IRAP is much quicker due to pre-planning a successful IRAP application is compensated monthly as the expenses are based on the budget already established. SR&ED funding can take up to 1-30 months to be reimbursed after the R&D activities are completed. Since IRAP contributes a higher rate on salary and subcontractors, this program would provide maximum benefits to your business should your project involve extensive quantities of these two costs. SR&ED will cover both these expenses, as well as overhead and material costs.
IRAP funds 50-80% of eligible expenses, making IRAP advantageous in terms of funding when having large amounts of salary and subcontracts. SR&ED reimburses 35-65% of eligible expenses for Canadian Controlled Private Corporations (CCPCs) These programs also vary in terms of eligible expenses and the percentage claimable.

Thus, SR&ED is after-the-fact funding, whereas, IRAP is before-the-fact funding. SR&ED allows companies to get reimbursed for expenditures previously spent on R&D activities, while IRAP provides a grant ahead-of expenditures incurred for R&D activities. The timeline for eligible projects varies significantly for SR&ED and IRAP funding. IRAP is a grants program. This program allows you to obtain funding in advance of incurring R&D project costs & helps you mitigate technical & financial risks in a project. This program allows you to claim tax credits on R&D project costs that have already been incurred.
To understand Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) and Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP), businesses must realize each program has structural differences.
