SR&ED in Alberta

Alberta's energy, agri-tech, and software sectors all generate eligible experimental development. We prepare federal T661 claims and align provincial filings with Alberta's current innovation incentive landscape.

Key considerations

Calgary and Edmonton startups often mix industrial R&D with software — clear technical narratives prevent eligibility drift

Federal refundable ITCs remain the primary cash benefit for most Alberta CCPCs

Alberta Innovation Employment Grant (IEG) may interact with your payroll strategy — coordinate with your accountant

Distributed teams across Alberta and other provinces need consistent time-tracking and project allocation

Forms and programs

Federal SR&ED rules apply nationwide. Provincial schedules and credits vary — we prepare both layers where applicable.

  • T661 — federal SR&ED claim
  • T2 corporate return with Alberta provincial schedules
  • Coordination with Alberta Innovation Employment Grant where applicable
