Taxation of Intellectual Property

Companies operating in the fields of technology and innovation can benefit from several options when it comes to the taxation of intellectual property. 

BCF’s tax specialists maximise the value of our clients’ ideas by using taxation principles as a springboard for growth. We represent numerous companies in the high-tech, life sciences, aeronautics, telecommunications, and multimedia industries. We understand the tax challenges specific to each and advise on how best to benefit from scientific research and experimental development (SR&ED) tax credits and financing taxes.

Our professionals design and implement optimised structures through international tax agreements and provincial regimes specific to our clients’ intellectual property. We also advise on the legal implications of an acquisition or transfer of intellectual property, such as patents and trademarks. Our proactive approach anticipates and optimises costs and benefits from an innovative and beneficial tax structure.
