Can I finance a SR&ED tax credit if it
is the first time my company has applied to the
program?
TCE will finance a first time claim if the
submission was prepared by an arm’s length third
party such as a Consultant or Accounting firm.
TCE will not finance a first time submission
prepared by the taxpayer. |
|
If the company has made previous
successful submissions, do we have to use a
third party Consultant/Accounting firm to
prepare the submission?
While TCE prefers third party preparation, we
will review a submission prepared directly by
the taxpayer if there is a successful track
record. |
|
Will TCE finance a SR&ED tax credit for
a new business or a company that has lost money?
Yes. TCE is focused on purchasing the SR&ED tax
credit due from the Government. In most cases,
we can help even if your company is newly
established or has incurred operating losses to
date. |
 |
|
Will TCE finance a SR&ED tax credit if
the company already has Bank financing?
Yes. SR&ED Tax Credit financing can generally be
used in conjunction with your present Bank
financing. |
|
How much will TCE advance against the
SR&ED tax credit?
TCE will advance 70% of the gross amount of the
SR&ED tax credit. The remaining balance (known
as a holdback) is returned to you net of TCE
fees once the payment has been received. |
|
Is there an application fee?
There is no fee to apply. Once your
application has been approved, TCE will issue an
Expression of Interest Letter (EOI). Upon
acceptance of the EOI letter, TCE requires a
modest processing fee to conduct due diligence
and issue the final Terms Letter. Once the Terms
Letter is accepted, legal documents are prepared
and the facility is activated. |
|
How long does it take to review my
financing application?
TCE will provide a decision with 48 hours of
receipt of a complete financing application
package. Once your application is approved, it
will take approximately 15 days to activate the
facility. |
|
Once the SR&ED tax credit is submitted,
how long does it take before the funds are
advanced?
Once the legal documentation is complete, funds
are advanced within 24 hours. |
|
How does TCE assess its financing
charges?
TCE assesses its financing charges on a daily
basis. You will be charged for the actual number
of days that the SR&ED advance is outstanding
(from date of advance to receipt of payment).
Minimum financing term is 60 days. |
 |
|
|
What happens if the Government does not
pay?
SR&ED Tax Credit financing is recourse
financing. If the Government does not pay the
tax credit, you are responsible to reimburse TCE
for funds owing. |
|
Does TCE provide other types of
financing?
Yes. In addition to SR&ED tax credit financing,
TCE Capital provides Invoice Discounting, also
known as Accounts Receivable Factoring, which is
a financial transaction whereby a company
finances its invoices (accounts receivable). TCE also
provides financing facilities secured by
inventory as well as equity in equipment and/or
real estate. |
