A ghost-kitchen operator in Chilliwack, British Columbia had been filing for 7 years without ever claiming the incentives its activity qualified for. Behind that sat BC Scientific Research and Experimental Development Tax Credit eligibility that had never been assessed. We tested each activity against the eligibility criteria rather than the description on the invoice, then recalculated the corporate tax at the 11% combined small business rate and rebased the instalments on the current year. $97,000 in credits claimed, with the open prior years adjusted as well. The claim passed review without adjustment.

The reorganisation used the rollover provisions rather than a taxable transfer, so no tax fell due on the restructuring itself. $40,000 of annual saving, achieved on a tax-deferred basis. The minute book, elections and valuations are all in the file.
Case Study 5
Month-End Close Cut From 6 Weeks To 6 Days — Bakery and Cafe, Chilliwack

The accounting file at a bakery and cafe in Chilliwack, British Columbia was built on sector-specific exposure the previous accountant had not seen before. The year-end had taken 6 weeks each of the last three years. We assessed and claimed BC Scientific Research and Experimental Development Tax Credit alongside the federal return and moved the reconciliations into the monthly cycle, so the year-end stopped being a rebuild. The file reconciles. Month-end closes in 6 days instead of 6 weeks, and the year-end is a review rather than a reconstruction.
