Form Walk-through

  • Business Name – enter your legal name exactly as it appears on your T2 return.
  • Business Number – 15-digit CRA number (e.g. 123456789 RC0001).
  • Project Category – pick the option that best matches your R&D (Software, Biotech, etc.).
  • Fiscal Year-End – month/day format (MM/DD).
  • Tax Year – choose the calendar year you are claiming from the drop-down.
  • Contact Person – someone the CRA can phone during a review.
  • Proxy vs Traditional – select **Proxy** if you plan to claim the 55 % overhead rate.
  • Province – determines which provincial SR&ED credits Shredy calculates.
  • Is CCPC? – tick this if you are a Canadian-controlled private corporation.

When everything looks good, hit Save & Continue in the bottom-right corner. Shredy will store the data and update the progress bar at the top of the dashboard.


Tips & Considerations

  • Business Number mismatch will cause your EFILE submission to fail—copy it straight from CRA My Business Account.
  • If you operate in multiple provinces, choose the one where the majority of R&D is performed.
  • Switching from Traditional to Proxy (or vice-versa) later will reset your Financials section because the cost calculations change.
