Maximize Your
SR&ED
Tax Credits
SoftInventors Inc. helps Canadian businesses unlock the full value of the SR&ED tax incentive program. With insider knowledge from both sides of the desk — as a claimant and as a CRA auditor — we prepare claims that stand up to scrutiny and deliver maximum refunds.
Trusted SR&ED Expertise
Our principal consultant has held a unique dual vantage point: successfully claiming SR&ED tax credits for his own software projects, and reviewing SR&ED applications from inside the CRA.
We Know SR&ED From Both Sides
SoftInventors Inc. was founded by a seasoned software professional with over 25 years of hands-on experience building technology products. Having personally navigated the SR&ED claim process — and successfully received tax credits for innovative software development — our founder understands exactly what it takes to build a strong, defensible claim.
What sets SoftInventors apart is our principal consultant's tenure as a SR&ED program auditor at the Canada Revenue Agency. This experience provides unparalleled insight into how CRA evaluates claims, what triggers audits, and how to structure technical narratives and financial documentation to maximize approval.
We work exclusively with Canadian businesses — from startups to established enterprises — across software, engineering, life sciences, and manufacturing sectors.
End-to-End SR&ED Consulting
From identifying eligible projects to successfully defending your claim, SoftInventors provides comprehensive support at every stage of the SR&ED process.
Eligibility Assessment
We evaluate your R&D activities against CRA's three eligibility criteria — scientific or technological uncertainty, systematic investigation, and advancement — to identify qualifying work you may not know you have.
Technical Documentation
We craft compelling technical narratives that clearly articulate your experimental development in language CRA auditors expect, minimizing the risk of questions or denials.
SR&ED Expenditure Calculation
We identify all eligible expenditures — salaries, contractor costs, materials, overhead — and apply the correct proxies and calculations to maximize your claimable amount.
Claim Preparation & Filing
We prepare your complete T661 form and Schedule 31, coordinate with your accountant or CPA, and ensure your claim is filed accurately and on time.
CRA Audit Support
If CRA selects your claim for review, we represent and support you through the audit process — preparing responses, gathering evidence, and liaising directly with CRA reviewers.
SR&ED Training & Workshops
We offer internal training sessions to help your engineering and R&D teams identify and document eligible work throughout the year, reducing claim preparation effort.
Not Sure If You Qualify?
Many businesses conducting everyday software development, engineering, or product innovation are eligible for SR&ED credits — and don't even know it. Let's find out together.
