> Honestly, this is a not true You have a conjecture that all companies keep good jira task tracking and payroll, AND that all companies contract out big accounting firms like KPMG. From my personal experience I have been at two Canadian companies who didn’t claim SR&ED and therefore your conjecture is disproven with counter examples. Some companies don’t keep good enough task tracking, some companies don’t know about SR&ED, some companies think the paperwork and auditing is burdensome, some companies are just lazy.
