How soon the government money will be in your business hands?

Time for AnswersCRA’s best effort is to deliver SR&ED grants in a timely, consistent, and predictable manner, while encouraging research and development (R&D) performers to prepare their claims in compliance with tax laws, policies, and procedures. There are four major processing categories determined by CRA in which aimed to be met 90% of the time:

  • refundable claims – 120 calendar days from receipt of a complete claim
  • non-refundable claims – 365 calendar days from receipt of a complete claim
  • claimant-requested adjustments to refundable claims – 240 calendar days from receipt of a complete claim
  • claimant-requested adjustments to non-refundable claims – 365 calendar days from receipt of a complete claim

Success Rate and Average Processing Times

April 1, 2013 to September 30, 2013

Type of Claim CRA Success Rate Average Days within CRA‘s control Average Days outside CRA‘s control Total Average Time (days)*
Refundable claims 120 Days 97% 37 24 62
Refundable claimant-adjusted claims 240 Days 95% 106 62 168
Non-Refundable claims 365 Days 97% 80 68 148
Non-Refundable claimant-adjusted claims 365 Days 93% 143 107 250
All claims 96% 62 43 105

* The average days within CRA‘s control and the average days outside CRA‘s control may not add up to the Total Average time due to rounding.

Situations that may result processing delays outside of the CRA‘s control include:

  • Filing an incomplete claim
  • Filing an SR&ED claim without filing the associated income tax return
  • Not filing a claim at the appropriate tax centre or filing a claim at a tax services office
  • Being unable to respond to CRA‘s requests for information in a timely manner
  • Postponement or inability to schedule meetings with the CRA
  • Being unable to respond in a timely manner to a proposal letter sent by the CRA
  • Reviews of prior year SR&ED claims impacting the review of the current year claim
  • Modification to a claim during the course of a review
  • Requests by claimants that the review of their claim be delayed
