The Quebec budget and the federal budget for 2025–2026 harbour significant changes to two key tax credit programs:

  1. SRED is replaced by CRIC and now funds pre-commercialization, while eliminating eight other programs.
  2. E-Business is replaced by CDAEIA and now requires a significant presence of Artificial Intelligence

In this webinar, we will cover the main tax measures introduced and their impact on SR&ED and E-Business:

CRIC: Tax Credit for Research, Innovation and Commercialization

  • New eligible expenses: pre-commercialization, equipment, and more
  • Eligibility criteria: company status, credit rates, and expenditure thresholds
  • Implementation timelines and resulting challenges
  • Our observations, positive and negative
  • Our practical recommendations

CDAEIA: E-Business Development Tax Credit Integrating Artificial Intelligence

  • Evolution of refundable and non-refundable rates
  • How to adapt to the exclusion of maintenance and evolution activities
  • AI: defining “significant integration” and eligible technologies
  • Emergex’s methodology to identify AI potential and recommend paths to (re)qualify
  • Practical case studies
