Can't the work be done in a Canadian entity instead of labour being hired via the US entity? This way, all the R&D expenses are happening in Canada.

- pcthrowaway 3y agoI was trying to raise that same question here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39015849#39018565 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39015849#39018565 My feeling is that an EoR (employer of record) like remote.com might be enough for everyone to be able to avoid R&D capitalization. The research happens in Canada, by a Canadian employee of a Canadian company. You pay an American company for outsourcing human resources. The American company pays the Canadian company for human resources services. Then again, if you're paying another company for outsourced human resouces, but you have an IP assignment clause as part of that, maybe you would need to claim it as your R&D expense
