Since we are in a unique position to measure trends and changes in claims for tax credits, I believe I have a responsibility to share you an aspect related to the Tax Credit for the development of E-Business (TCEB) that recently was the subject of special attention on the part of “Investissement Québec.”

In fact, “Investissement Québec” has modified its approach regarding the eligible activities affecting transactional websites. So, in a web project that contains a transactional module, only the hours spent on the module can be claimed. Also, I remind you that activities relating to maintenance and evolution are not eligible. Thus, if the projects are continuing for further tax years for which you want to reapply for the TCEB credit, you must be able to provide hard evidence (proposals, contracts, detailed invoices) that, for example, a transactional module was added to a site that was informational, or that the company has developed an intranet or extranet for a client.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions or you would like to discuss the eligibility of your projects. Our scientific advisors will be happy to answer your questions!
