INDU FOLLOW UP – Member input requested:
Your input regarding SR&ED and how to make it easier or
better for you is vital. AMC would like to provide your views to the
committee by October 11 and ask that
you provide your insight on:
- What
paper work is difficult and how should it be streamlined?
- If you are struggling with SR&ED, would you
prefer to have central office where you could have a one stop location to
access government dollars and find out what is available?
- Would you prefer to have a separate SR&ED
program aimed at businesses with revenues less than $200 million and have a
dedicated government advisor help you with the application process?
- Provide examples of how SR&ED has worked for
you, examples where it has not and solutions you think should be considered.
Please provide your feedback to AMC President, Leah Olson at leah@a-m-c.ca. Back to AMC Connection
