Top 10 Common Mistakes in SR&ED Tax Credit Applications and How to Avoid Them

 Filing for the SR&ED tax credit can unlock significant financial rewards for Canadian businesses conducting research and development, but small errors in the application can lead to audits, delays, or even rejected claims. At G6 Consulting, we’ve helped hundreds of companies across industries avoid the most common SR&ED pitfalls—saving them time, money, and stress.

One of the most frequent mistakes in SR&ED tax credit applications is misunderstanding SR&ED eligibility criteria. Companies often submit projects that don’t meet the definition of “systematic investigation” or fail to demonstrate technological uncertainty. G6 Consulting works closely with clients to ensure their projects align perfectly with CRA requirements.

Another major error is insufficient or inconsistent documentation. Without proper time tracking, experimental records, and technical narratives, your claim could be considered non-compliant. We ensure all supporting materials are well-organized and audit-ready before submission.

Many businesses also underestimate the value of expert guidance. Attempting a DIY claim or using unqualified advisors can result in missed credits or red flags that trigger CRA reviews. Our seasoned SR&ED consultants know how to frame technical projects in ways the CRA recognizes and rewards.

At G6 Consulting, we help you avoid other common SR&ED mistakes, including overestimating eligible expenditures, submitting duplicate claims, or missing filing deadlines. We also provide insight on SR&ED audits, amendments, and how to integrate your claim strategy into overall tax planning.

With decades of combined experience, our team maximizes the success rate of SR&ED tax credit applications by identifying risks early and applying a detailed, proven methodology. Whether you're new to SR&ED or want to improve your current claim process, G6 Consulting provides the clarity, structure, and peace of mind your business deserves.

Contact G6 Consulting today to avoid costly mistakes and unlock the full value of your SR&ED claim.
