Introduction In Canada, tax is paid at both federal and provincial (i.e. state) levels of government. Both the federal government and most provincial governments provide funding for scientific and technological R&D through a system of tax credits. The official title of this system of R&D tax credits is the . . . Scientific Research & Experimental Development tax credit … abbreviated SR&ED The SR&ED program is administrated by the Canada Revenue Agency … abbreviated CRA All taxpayers anywhere in Canada are eligible to receive R&D tax credits at the federal level. Eligibility for R&D tax credits at the provincial level is predicted on two considerations; First the province must have an R&D credit and second, you must be a taxpayer in that province. In addition to being done by a Canadian taxpayer, the R&D work must be done in Canada. “Taxpayer” means: Individuals Partnerships of individuals and / or corporations Private corporations Public corporations (meaning its shares are traded on a public stock exchange) In provinces with an R&D tax credit, eligibility for the provincial tax credit is automatically triggered by eligibility at the federal level. However some provinces do not allow the same full range of expenditure types as are eligible at the federal level. Depending on whether the taxpayer is a corporation or not, together with its income and ownership structure, these R&D tax credits benefit the taxpayer in either of two ways: Reduced taxes payable A cash refund even if no taxes payable In an average year, this system of funding contributes approximately $4.5 billion to private sector R&D in Canada. Although operationally administered by CRA, the SR&ED rules are codified in legislation. While the rules are subject to adjustment from time to time, Canada’s SR&ED program is permanent has been in continuous operation for over 25 years. ©04-2010 Scitax™ Advisory Partners LP, All rights reserved .

Key Concepts 1. The SR&ED benefit applies to the cost of conducting a systematic investigation in Canada that is aimed at overcoming a technological obstacle in order to achieve a scientific or technological advancement. Successful achievement of an outcome is not a criteria to qualify for the benefit. 2. SR&ED benefits are allowed in addition to the normal business expense deduction that a Canadian taxpayer would otherwise be allowed for R&D expenditures. 3. Most small Canadian Controlled Private Corporations (“CCPC”s) receive SR&ED benefits as a cash refund – even if the taxpayer has no taxable income or tax payable. Canada is one of the very few countries in the world to offer an R&D tax credit with this type of “cash refund” benefit. 4. For large and foreign owned corporations (“non-CCPC”s), SR&ED benefits are calculated at a lower rate and are paid in the form of an investment tax credit (ITC) which can only be used to reduce taxes payable. This ITC can either be applied immediately to reduce taxes in the current year, applied retroactively up to 3 years back or “saved” and carried forward up to 20 years. This allows non-CCPCs to effectively monetize their SR&ED benefits as / when they become taxable. 5. Individuals, un-incorporated businesses and partnerships are also eligible to receive a cash benefit, but at a significantly lower rate than CCPC’s. Therefore organizations of these types that undertake R&D should consider incorporating themselves as a private corporation. 6. For CCPC’s, excessive taxable income and / or taxable capital can cause a significant “grind-down” (i.e. reduction) of SR&ED benefits. CCPC’s must ensure careful tax planning to avoid suffering this disappointing outcome. 7. Wages, materials, contracted R&D services, overhead and equipment are all eligible SR&ED expenditures at the federal level. However, provincial level SR&ED benefits may or may not apply to all of these categories e.g. some provinces do not cover materials, equipment or overhead. 8. There is no upper limit on the amount of SR&ED benefit that can be claimed. However for CCPCs there is a reduction in benefits when the total claimed expenditures exceed $3M. 9. SR&ED benefits are allowed on both current and capital expenditures. However, for taxpayers eligible for a refundable benefit, only 40% of the capital expenditure attracts a cash refundable with the balance as an ITC. 10. Income received from the sale of R&D results (e.g. taxpayer is selling an R&D service) may act to reduce the eligible SR&ED expenditure. The reduction is significantly affected by the nature of the contract between the R&D seller and the R&D buyer. 11. Only R&D work carried out in Canada is eligible for SR&ED. Recent amendments to legislation make allowance for up to 10% of the wage expenditures to be for work outside Canada, but only if that work is directly associated with (and vital) to an SR&ED project undertaken by the taxpayer in Canada. 12. To claim SR&ED, the taxpayer must identify specific projects and associated expenditures that meet CRA’s definition of eligible R&D work. 13. The claim must include a detailed written technical description for each project being claimed. This technical description must include both a description of the activity (i.e. the systematic investigation) and a justification of the project’s eligibility in terms of technological advancement . 14. Claims must be filed using the prescribed CRA form set (i.e. “T661”). This form requires substantial technical and financial information. It must be correctly prepared in order to avoid the claim being rejected by CRA as incomplete. Furthermore CRA may not accept additional information on claims that are ruled incomplete after filing deadline even if the original claim was filed in time. 15. CRA regularly audits both scientific, technical and financial aspects of SR&ED claims. Every CRA taxation services office has a special squad of qualified engineers and scientists dedicated specifically to this purpose. ©04-2010 Scitax™ Advisory Partners LP, All rights reserved .

6 Comparison of Canada
and United States R&D Tax Credits US R&E System (@ April 2010) Maximum benefit rate is 20%. Little or no extra from individual states. Not refundable. No cash benefit. No tax payable means immediate benefit. Requires the taxpayer to choose between different methods of calculation, all of which are complex and difficult to comprehend without expert assistance. Benefit is calculated only on the increase in R&D expenditures year over year. Non-permanent, must be renewed by government each year. Years pass in which no credit is available. Since 1987 the R&E credit has been unavailable at least 12 times, often for periods of 12 months or more. Canadian SR&ED System (@ April 2010) Maximum benefit rate is 35% plus additional 10% to 37.5% from provinces . Benefits for small private companies are particularly generous. Benefit on actual expenses incurred in each year. Provides cash refund to qualifying CCPC’s even if no tax payable. As can be expected with such rich benefit rates, there is frequent detailed auditing of both scientific and financial claim eligibility. Permanent and highly stable. Long-term commitment from government. The SR&ED program has been in operation for 20 years and is generally considered to be a cornerstone of Canadian Government Economic Development Policy.

Processing of Claims by CRA Gate #1 – Filing is complete? o All information / data provided? ▼ Correct / current version of form T661 used? ▼ Written description of claimed R&D work undertaken that was undertaken in this taxation year (i.e. the “systematic investigation”)? ▼ Written justification that R&D work being claimed involved seeking a “scientific or technological advancement” and what specific “technological obstacle / uncertainty“ obstructed that advancement? ▼ Wages and other expenditures identified for each project in the claim? ▼ Details of incoming and outgoing contract payments for R&D services? ▼ Names and qualifications of key personnel involved in each project? Gate #2 – Received on time? o < 6 months from year end = fast track processing (120 to 240 days) o 6 to 18 months from year end = slower processing (8 to 16 months) o > 18 months from year end = rejected and forever lost Gate #3 – Technical audit o Claimed activities meet CRA definition of eligible R&D activity? o Scientific and technical records and / or working papers corroborate work done in claimed period? Gate #4 – Financial audit o Taxpayer entitled to claim as CCPC and qualifies for high-rate refundable benefit? o Invoices and pay records to support claimed costs? o Time records to support allocation of man-hours to specific projects? o Any incoming contract payments to reduce the benefit? Gate #5 – Dispute resolution (in the event of disagreement with technical or financial audit outcome) • Second opinion by audit supervisor at local CRA office. • Notice of Objection – triggers a second audit by a separate independent group of auditors within CRA. • Tax Court of Canada – taxpayer contests CRA ruling in a formal court process that is completely independent of CRA influence. ©04-2010 Scitax™ Advisory Partners LP, All rights reserved .

Criteria for Eligible R&D Activity All of the following three criteria must be met for an R&D activity to qualify as eligible SR&ED : 1. A technological or scientific Advancement is sought New to world (generally eligible) New application (probably eligible) New to company (may be eligible) 2. Technological Uncertainty / Obstacle obstructs the advancement An initial attempt to apply the “standard practice” failed Competent professionals with appropriate training and credentials could not devise a solution from within their “oeuvre” of professional knowledge Insufficient information or data is available to enable application of standard engineering practices Potentially useful solutions exist but are unavailable in the public domain Key properties of materials are unknown Vital relationships are unknown or unproven Interactions of components in a complex system cannot be reliably modeled or predicted 3. Systematic Investigation an iterative process of experimentation is employed in an attempt to resolve the uncertainty and achieve the advancement Theory or idea conceived Experiments conducted to test idea Measurements are made and recorded Results are compared to a “control” group or standard Idea evolved based on findings in an iterative process Investigation process continues until technological uncertainty is resolved at which point the SR&ED eligible work ends The outcome of the R&D activity (i.e. success or failure) is not a criteria for eligibility. ©04-2010 Scitax™ Advisory Partners LP, All rights reserved .

Legal fees, accounting fees, patent fees etc. 5. Certain payments or assistance received in respect of the claimed activity may act to reduce the eligible expenditures Government grants - NSERC, CIRDF, IRAP, SDTC etc. Forgivable loans Payments received from customers for R&D services or sale of R&D results. NB: There are certain cases when such payments would not act to reduce SR&ED benefits. However, this is a complex matter which is beyond the scope of this document. ©04-2010 Scitax™ Advisory Partners LP, All rights reserved .
