The Book On Business From A To Z

Someone had to write it...and that's why we did. THE Book on . . . Business from A to Z; The 260 Most Important Answers You Need to Know is the result of trying to constantly answer clients' questions across a vast range of business topics. After frequent discussions about some of our most challenging engagements, the coauthors realized that we had one thing in common: Clients who were regularly asking questions about many areas beyond our individual areas of expertise. We did our individual best to answer them and/or put the clients in touch with other experts who could. However, we wanted to be able to go beyond this and to provide an ongoing resource for those questions that arise when we are not in front of our clients. We wanted to make a lasting resource for our past, present and future clients. The result is THE Book on . . . Business from A to Z; The 260 Most Important Answers You Need to Know. This book covers 26 of the most important business topics in the world today. Although each chapter is worthy of a complete book of its own, we have condensed each down to the 10 most frequently asked questions and their answers.

Why should you want to read The Z-Book? This book is designed to give an overview of the SR&ED Program of the Canadian Tax Credits & Refunds System to the busy executive and the business owner/manager. In order to keep the Canadian businesses competitive in the present global market, the Canadian government offers one of the most generous incentives to Canadian businesses to encourage them to engage in scientific research and experimental development (SR&ED). It is also available to foreign corporations conducting SR&ED in Canada. It is estimated that only a very small fraction of those eligible actually apply for this credit. It is also estimated that in the last fiscal year tax credits running into billions of dollars were approved, including refunds to eligible businesses. There is no upper limit set by the Government as to the amount of tax credits it is willing to give to eligible businesses with regard to SR&ED. This information might make it worthwhile for you to take the time to read this book because it talks about millions of dollars in potential tax benefits and possibly cash refunds to you and to your business over the years and in some cases even in just one year!
