Access capital without diluting ownership of your company

A particularly sensitive issue for companies.

In the current context, where traditional banking institutions are cautious and tightening access to credit, sufficient liquidity can become a particularly sensitive issue for companies, especially SMEs. So accessing capital without diluting ownership of your company becomes advantageous.

It is sometimes necessary and wise to rely on the support of investors to inject new funds into your business, particularly when banks are shying away. However, this option often results in diluting your organization’s ownership and complicating its governance structure. In contrast, financing your refundable tax credits is a simple and easy way to access capital, when you need it, that has no impact on your company’s ownership or governance. While not always an alternative to an injection of investor funds, a sound tax credit financing strategy can play an advantageous complementary role for your liquidity needs and help limit the dilution of your company’s ownership.

Important tax dates ahead for companies

It’s that time of year again, when companies have to be disciplined and meet a number of important tax obligations. Doing your tax homework can save you a lot of headaches, and speed up the repayment of your tax credits.

Deadline

February 29, 2024 is a deadline that you must mark in your calendar without fail, or risk incurring significant financial penalties. By this date, you’ll need to have filed and transmitted your annual Source Deductions Return (SDR), which is essential both for Revenu Québec, with its RL-1 Summary, and for Revenue Canada, with the T4 Summary.

Companies using a payroll service will need to ensure that the latter files the provincial portion, as this is not the case for all. Some services, like Ceridian (now Dayforce), do not produce the Sommaire 1-Employeur, while others, like Desjardins, do. So it’s important to ask your payroll service about this.

The same rigor is required for the filing of GST and QST returns, as well as Corporate income tax returns.

In short, the best way to limit the possibility of a tax audit, and avoid paying penalties that can sometimes be steep, is to fulfill your tax responsibilities on time. What’s more, this will give you the valuable advantage of facilitating the processing and repayment of your tax credits. Companies that make this deadline a priority demonstrate their commitment to responsible, far-sighted tax management, thereby promoting long-term financial stability.

Message from the President

AN ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT THAT DEMANDS SIMPLE, EASILY ACCESSIBLE FINANCING SOLUTIONS FOR SMES

The economic context in which we operate remains challenging for SMEs as we enter 2024. Rising interest rates, the economic slowdown in Quebec and Canada, and the cautious attitude of traditional banking institutions are all having a dampening effect on the momentum of many businesses. “It’s already hard for small business owners to navigate the complicated world of financing, but banks are more likely to approve loans and provide better loan terms to larger firms”, notes the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. 

In this environment, it becomes even more essential for SMEs to have access to alternative sources of financing to those offered by traditional banking institutions, which are simple, flexible and rapidly accessible. That’s why R&D Capital offers a wide range of tax credit financing solutions that give you access to capital that might not otherwise be available.

We understand that the availability of cash when you need it plays a key role in bringing your projects to fruition, in hiring and retaining skilled and scarce personnel, and in supporting your marketing efforts. Just because the economy is slowing down doesn’t mean that these key factors in your success are any less important. R&D Capital is here to help, even when the economy is buffeted by headwinds.

Pierre Binette, President

Corporation Taxation

We’ve entered that time of year when tax discipline is the order of the day. Even if it’s not very pleasant, diligently managing your tax obligations can save you a lot of trouble and hassle and speed up the repayment of your tax credits.

February 28, 2023 is a deadline that must not be missed or you risk incurring financial penalties that could be significant. You will have to file and transmit your annual source deduction. For Revenu Quebec, 1-Employee Summary report and for the Canada Revenue Agency, the T4 Summary report. Companies using a payroll service will need to ensure that the provincial portion is filed, as this is not the case for all. Some services, such as Ceridian, do not file the 1-Employee Summary, while Desjardins does. It is therefore important to ask your payroll service for information.

The same rigour is required for the transmission of GST and QST returns as well as corporate income tax returns.

In short, the best way to limit the possibility of a tax audit and avoid paying penalties that can sometimes be substantial is to meet your tax obligations on time. And as a bonus, it will also facilitate the processing and refunding of your tax credits.
