Research Tax Credit for Registered Oat Producers in Saskatchewan
The Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) Program is a federal government program that encourages research and development by providing tax-based incentives.
By using levy contributions to finance research and development work that benefits Western Canada oat producers, The Saskatchewan Oat Development Commission is able to participate in this program and distribute these tax-based incentives to producers.
