Significant Cost Recovery
Recoup a substantial portion of your development costs, including wages, materials, and third-party contractor expenses, directly related to your innovation efforts.
The Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) program is a federal tax incentive aimed at encouraging Canadian businesses to undertake innovative projects. This financial backing is essential for reducing the risks associated with innovation, driving progress, and ensuring competitiveness in Canadian industries, like the cloud computing sector. Through SR&ED, businesses focused on cloud engineering innovations can significantly reduce their project costs, promoting an environment of continuous advancement and technological growth.
The public cloud sector has experienced swift growth across the world as technology use and consumer demand continues to rise. Statista, a global industry statistics database, released a report that determined:
“Revenue in the [Canadian] Public Cloud market is projected to reach US$13.42bn in 2024. Revenue is expected to show an annual growth rate (CAGR 2024-2028) of 8.39%, resulting in a market volume of US$18.52bn by 2028.”
It’s a booming industry with ever-increasing potential for growth and development in the Canadian market, as compared to many other countries, Canada still has quite a way to go in adopting and innovating in cloud computing technologies.
When you’re deeply involved in the intricate details of your project, it’s easy to lose sight of your initial goals and overlook the changes made throughout the process, especially as developments can dramatically shift direction.
