Tax Incentives
Canadian companies can claim Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax credits on eligible R&D work — even when that work is coordinated with an offshore team. The key is that the Canadian entity must direct and control the research.
Combine 60% offshore savings with up to 35% SR&ED credit on eligible development work, and the economics become compelling. We structure engagements to support SR&ED eligibility — with documentation, technical logs, and milestone tracking that your accountant will appreciate.
Compliance
The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) governs how Canadian organizations handle personal data. When working with offshore teams, you need data handling agreements, clear consent frameworks, and documented data flows.
NKKTech provides PIPEDA-aligned data handling agreements for all Canadian engagements. No Canadian personal data is stored outside approved jurisdictions without explicit consent. We work with your legal team to ensure compliance is documented before development begins.
