Territory guide

SR&ED in Nunavut

Nunavut-based CCPCs doing experimental development claim federal SR&ED ITCs via the T661. Like other territories, Nunavut has no parallel territorial R&D tax credit — eligibility and filing follow CRA rules nationwide.

Key considerations

Iqaluit and community-based tech projects can qualify when technical uncertainty is documented

Infrastructure and logistics challenges can be part of the technical narrative — not automatic eligibility

Smaller headcounts mean every eligible hour should be traceable

18-month filing deadline applies — plan documentation before fiscal year-end

Forms and programs

Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut do not have a separate territorial R&D tax credit like the provinces. Eligible corporations claim federal SR&ED ITCs through the T661 — the same Canada-wide CRA program.

  • T661 — federal SR&ED claim
