Claim your entitlement SR&ED in the vineyard and winery By Carla Elm, vice-president RSG Did you know that scientific research and experimental development (SR&ED) tax credits are considered an entitlement by the Government of Canada? As long as you’re able to prove the work you’ve done in the vineyard or winery qualifies as SR&ED, you’re entitled to tax credits or refunds. Although the burden of proof lies with you, if your corporate records are in order and the SR&ED-related activities surrounding innovation have been recorded as they happened, Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is ready to reward you for your hard work. Scientific ReSeaRch & expeRimental Development (SR&eD) in vineyaRDS & WineRieS We explore refunds in viticulture and oenology. let us determine your eligibility today! Innovation implies failure. That’s fine, at least in terms of SR&ED. Failure in attempts to advance knowledge in your industry strongly indicates that scientific research or experimental development took place. Our job at RSG is to identify which activities qualify as SR&ED, along with other related costs, such as payments to contractors and wasted materials. We have been identifying such reclaimable costs in Western Canada for 15 years and are aligned with a national SR&ED services provider with over 60 resources. Innovation can occur in both the vineyard and the cellar, in both viticulture and oenology. Typical areas of innovation that qualify as SR&ED involve those projects attempted that did not work out as planned, that cost more than anticipated, that hit a wall or kept you up at night tying to figure out a solution when you needed to innovate in a way that went beyond the current technological or scientific standard practice. Experimentation with drainage or irrigation, row spacing or pruning, or grape vine support structures may qualify. Experimentation with new varietals in the vineyard, or innovative filtration, maturation, and bottling processes in the winery may as well. RSG is ready to assist you in determining the materiality of your SR&ED claim. It’s what we do, all day every day, and we’re here to help. Our business is boutique in that we cater to each client in ways that make completing your claim streamlined and efficient in order to maximize your return. We understand the science of the vine and the cellar and will advise you on what will ultimately result in a boost to your bottom line. Let us help you claim your entitlement through this most lucrative program: the SR&ED program provides $3 billion to over 20,000 companies across the country every year. Now’s the time to claim what’s yours. o 26
