First-Time Claimant Service

If you are a new or potential claimant with questions about our program, our First-Time Claimant Service can help you. This free service helps put your business in touch with SR&ED staff who will:

  • work closely with you to answer your questions;
  • provide you with information, tools and the help you may need to complete your first SR&ED claim; and
  • possibly visit your business to explain the program benefits and requirements in more detail.

To find out more about our First-Time Claimant Service, contact your local CRA tax services office.
