Your Canadian counterparts are incorrect, or they must not have read the post clearly. You are in fact able to deduct executive compensation against net income. You CANNOT claim excessive executive compensation for your SR&ED expenditures, but that is NOT what I'm indicating. If your counterparts still claim that this is not the case, they are pretty sh*tty accountants.

Yeah, we agree. My statement is that only the portion of executive comp that can be allocable to SRED expenditures can be deducted, which is what you're also saying. The key term is "excessive"--for SRED purposes, executive comp is excessive to the extent it does not relate to SRED expenditures.

But go ahead and call people names on the internet. It makes you seem like a true authority on the matter.
