Québec CDAE e-business tax credit service
CDAE

We help eligible Québec technology companies maximize the CDAE (Tax Credit for the Development of E-Business) through a complete end-to-end process, from the initial eligibility assessment to obtaining the required Investissement Québec certifications and preparing the supporting tax forms for Revenu Québec.

What We Do

01

Initial Eligibility Assessment

We review your business activities, corporate structure, financial information, and employee functions to assess whether your company may qualify for the CDAE tax credit.

02

Employee and Salary Analysis

We analyze employee roles, responsibilities, technical activities, salaries, and available time records to identify qualifying personnel, determine eligible salary expenditures, and calculate the refundable and non-refundable CDAE tax credits available to your company.

03

Supporting Documentation

We guide your team through collecting the corporate, financial, payroll, organizational, and employee documentation required to support the company and employee certification applications.

04

Certification Package Preparation

Using the information gathered during the assessment, we prepare the CDAE certification package for Investissement Québec, covering both the company and its identified eligible employees.

05

Certification Review Support

Following submission, we manage communications with Investissement Québec, coordinate responses to additional information requests, and support the review process until the certification decisions are issued.

06

Revenu Québec Filing Package

Once the required certifications have been issued by Investissement Québec, we prepare the CDAE tax forms and supporting schedules required for filing with Revenu Québec.

Outcome

At the end of the process, your company will have a completed CDAE certification process, a clearly supported analysis of eligible employees and salary expenditures, and a filing-ready tax credit package prepared for submission to Revenu Québec.
