SR&ED Tax Credits for Textile and High-Performance Materials Development
Companies operating in the textile, advanced fabrics, and high-performance materials industries invest significantly in research and development to enhance material performance, durability, sustainability, and functionality. These innovation efforts often involve complex experimentation, material science challenges, and evolving production techniques. The Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax credit program is designed to support precisely this type of technical advancement.
SR&ED Eligibility: From Smart Textiles to Advanced Fiber Blends
Organizations may qualify for federal and provincial SR&ED tax credits when undertaking R&D aimed at achieving technological advancement in areas such as:
- Development of high-performance, technical, or smart textiles.
- New fiber blends, composites, and advanced materials formulations.
- Enhancing strength, durability, flame resistance, or chemical resistance.
- Improving thermal regulation, moisture management, or conductivity.
- Sustainable and eco-friendly textile processing and materials.
- Process innovation in weaving, knitting, coating, lamination, or finishing.
- Scaling laboratory materials to pilot or full-scale production.
Eligibility often applies even when R&D is incremental, iterative, or embedded within manufacturing and production processes, provided technical uncertainty exists and systematic experimentation is performed.
