Location:

 

 Main Auditorium, Alberta Research Council

Edmonton, Alberta

Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), KPMG High Technology Practice Group, Alberta Research Council and PTAC Petroleum Technology Alliance Canada invite you to attend a Technical Working Group session designed to clarify filing and eligibility requirements for SR&ED carried out in Canada.

BACKGROUND
The SR&ED Program affords Canadian companies an avenue to write off expenditures incurred on R&D carried out in Canada. In addition, the Program provides investment tax credits, which can be carried forward for up to 10 years, and used to offset income taxes payable. This is the thirteenth in the series of Technology Forums dedicated to the discussion of issues of interest to the oil and gas industry. The last session was held in Calgary in October 2004, and it focused on emerging technologies for the partial field upgrading of heavy oils.

BENEFITS TO PARTICIPANTS
This workshop will provide valuable information to oil and gas executives, engineers, accountants, R&D service providers, regulatory agencies, tax practitioners, service companies, funding agencies, legal firms, on what is required to file a complete claim for SR&ED credits. The criteria which CRA uses to evaluate SR&ED projects will also be discussed. This session will be tailored to companies involved in upstream as well as downstream oil and gas activities, particularly small and medium enterprises that offer a wide range of technical services to the oil and gas industry.
