SR&ED for the CHEMICAL Industry

Science

THE ARCK ADVANTAGE | SRED CLAIMS THROUGH FORENSIC ANALYSIS

It is a common belief that the SR&ED program is only intended to assist large industry leading businesses with dedicated R&D facilities. This misconception has led many smaller scale chemical companies to assume they are ineligible for the program. In reality, most organizations carry out a great deal of seemingly routine activities that are actually SR&ED eligible.

​

Innovative chemical products and new processes are almost always born from scientific research and experimental development. Most frequently, developments are less radical and make only incremental improvements to existing products and services. These advancements are often neglected as SR&ED eligible and subsequently go unclaimed. Chemical organizations that are not able to identify these types of qualified activities are missing out on a large portion of deserved tax credits. At ARCK, we can help eligible chemical companies uncover, claim and maximize their SR&ED tax credits.
