As we approach the end of 2020, Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) has one remaining SR&ED extension set for December 31st, 2020. Companies as far back as a December 2018 year-end still have time to submit their claim. We encourage companies to file sooner rather than later in December due to the holiday break that many people take.
Below is a chart provided by CRA to outline all of the extensions that have happened this year. It may be confusing but again, the only remaining SR&ED extension is December 31st, 2020.
Tax year-end | Filing due date (six months after filing due date) | Extended filing due date due to COVID measures | SR&ED reporting deadline (12 months after filing due date) | Extended due to order (TLOPA) | SR&ED reporting deadline (including extended due to order) |
