The Yukon research and development tax credit (for individuals) is a refundable tax credit that allows you to claim up to 15% of eligible expenses you paid to conduct scientific research and experimental development (SR&ED) activities within the Yukon territory. If the expenses were paid to the Yukon College, you can claim an additional 5% on your return.
Important: You must claim this tax credit within 12 months of the tax year in which your eligible expenses were paid.
To be eligible to claim this credit, you must be a resident of the Yukon on December 31, 2016.
