Oh I completely agree. SRED shouldn't be difficult. I think the actual practice is more complicated though, having had to go through it. If you do it on your own you risk leaving a whole lot of money on the table, opening yourself up to a filing which won't stand up to an audit, or both. It's just one of those things I'd rather leave to somebody who deals with Revenue Canada on the same issue day in and day out. There are pretty scummy companies doing SRED returns but there are also decent ones who are professional and above board.
