Launching a revamped version of our Comprehensive Guide to SR&ED
We’ve been busy behind the scenes here at SR&ED Education and Resources, polishing our in-depth guide to provide more SR&ED information. The Comprehensive Guide to SR&ED has been updated to reflect changes to program policy, recent SR&ED-related legal rulings, and the most current program eligibility information.
We launched the Comprehensive Guide to SR&ED in 2013 after realizing that there was a severe lack of accessible, educational resources for SR&ED applicants. The majority of the information available on the web was either sales-based content from consultants selling their services or the complex, disjointed Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) guide documents. We wanted to create something that was user-friendly, pointed potential applicants towards critical information, and that didn’t leave SR&ED applicants with more questions than answers.
SR&ED Information Designed With SR&ED Applicants In Mind
The Comprehensive Guide to SR&ED is the only plain-language, how-to guide for the Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SR&ED) program ever written. The goal of this manual is to simplify the SR&ED application process as much as possible. It provides accessible, straightforward information on topics ranging from commonly used terms to best documentation practices, advanced writing tips, and more.

The team behind SR&ED Education and Resources are educators at heart, which means we’ve deliberately offered information in The Guide in a number of different formats – text, flowcharts, infographics, etc., to cater to various learning styles. The image above is a preview of a helpful visual chart included in the Comprehensive Guide to SR&ED.Â
