SR&ED for the FOOD & BEVERAGE Industry

Liquor

THE ARCK ADVANTAGE | SRED CLAIMS THROUGH FORENSIC ANALYSIS

Canadian companies in the food and beverage industry face regular projection reformation, process adjustments and equipment changes. Enhancements are also driven by need for increased efficiency, prolonged project shelf-life or improved productivity.  To complicate matters further, compliance with Health Canada, the FDA or HACCP regulations can be costly and filled with technical uncertainty. 

​

A significant portion of the cost associated with these activities qualify for tax credits or cash refunds under the SR&ED program. Food & Beverage manufacturers face several misconceptions about SR&ED eligible expenditures. Many organizations have been discouraged from participating or have simply failed to claim a significant portion of quality work. ARCK can help eligible food and beverage companies uncover claims and maximize their SR&ED tax credits.
