Canadian business leaders want better R&D support to strengthen productivity and the innovation economy

/

81 per cent would conduct more R&D if a patent box model existed, finds a recent KPMG in Canada survey TORONTO, April 10, 2024 /CNW/ – The vast majority of Canadian business leaders want the federal government to support a wider range of research and development (R&D) activities and provide tax relief for Canadian intellectual property (IP) to make their companies and, in turn, the economy more productive, finds a KPMG in Canada survey. Amid high demand for the Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) program across the country, more than eight in 10 leaders (84 per cent) would like the program to be simplified and expanded to encourage more investment in the innovations that create economic prosperity. “Canada’s lack of domestic research and development is a key factor in the country’s lagging productivity, relative to other industrialized countries,” says David Durst, Partner-in-Charge, Tax Incentive Practice, KPMG in Canada. “Canadian businesses have faced challenges transforming ideas and innovations into viable, profitable ventures that spur economic growth and lead to a higher standard of living for Canadians. Currently, there are tax incentives for early-stage R&D; however, widely available support to transition the resulting knowledge into commercialized patents is missing in Canada’s approach.” Key survey findings: SR&ED is the single-largest R&D support program in Canada, providing Canadian-controlled private companies with an enhanced 35 per cent refundable tax credit on their first $3 million of qualified R&D-related expenses, and public and foreign companies with a 15 per cent non-refundable credit for R&D conducted within Canada. The survey reveals that business leaders view the current definitions of research activities and expenditures under the SR&ED program as too narrow, covering only scientific research and experimental development. Seventy-eight per cent acknowledged that the R&D their business performs is currently not eligible for SR&ED. “Business leaders also want more routine R&D that yields productivity improvements for their company to be made eligible under SR&ED, even if the tax credit rate is lower,” adds Mr. Durst. “The question becomes whether the federal government’s review of innovation programs will support a broader range of R&D in Canada that may not be patentable, but directly improves business productivity.” Support for a Canadian patent box regime The Department of Finance is currently undertaking public consultations until April 15 to modernize the $3.5 billion SR&ED program on a cost-neutral basis. Finance has also requested public input on a “patent box” regime, which would offer tax breaks to encourage companies to develop and keep IP in Canada. Eight in 10 (81 per cent) of leaders say they would conduct more R&D if the government introduced a patent box model, which would provide a lower corporate tax rate on revenues derived from Canadian IP. The government’s stated objective in proposing a patent box regime would be to encourage new and existing Canadian businesses to conduct their R&D in Canada by providing a preferential tax rate for the income generated from the IP resulting from that R&D. In addition to providing direct support for initial R&D activity, other countries provide incentives to help ensure that the benefits of locally-developed IP stays within their economies to create jobs and other social and economic benefits, says Brian Ernewein, Senior Advisor, National Tax Centre, KPMG in Canada. “Generally, the income tax system should be neutral in its treatment of business income to avoid distorting the allocation of investment capital and impairing competitiveness” says Mr. Ernewein. “However, there is a case for a well-designed, preferential intellectual property tax regime, under which the qualifying income is derived from R&D conducted in Canada. The additional support for R&D performed here could ease the path toward commercialization and reduce the pressure to locate patents and other IP outside Canada in order to benefit from lower tax rates elsewhere.” Read more about the upcoming federal budget.

Canadian retailers are catching up to global peers on seamless commerce: KPMG

/

Canada emerges fourth among eight countries in KPMG International report on future of seamless commerce TORONTO, March 22, 2024 /CNW/ – Despite historically trailing behind other countries in seamless commerce, Canada emerged fourth among eight major countries in making retailing a simpler, friendlier and more convenient experience for consumers, according to a new KPMG International report. “Canadian retailers are making significant strides to build bridges across multiple channels – online and bricks and mortar – to become more efficient and improve the consumer shopping experience,” says Kostya Polyakov, Partner and National Leader for Consumer and Retail, KPMG in Canada. “Amid tight profit margins, higher costs and sharply lower discretionary spending, retailers recognize they must embrace digital solutions to remain competitive and stay in business.” Over the past three years, Canadian retailers accelerated their growth in omnichannel solutions amid increased expectations from consumers now accustomed to purchasing from giant U.S. retailers, which in many cases are further ahead in digitizing their operations, adds Mr. Polyakov. A recent KPMG in Canada survey found that, despite the pandemic accelerating the move to online shopping, 67 per cent of Canadians still prefer to shop in-store versus online. A similar storyline is unfolding in the U.S., with 70 per cent of total retail sales coming from brick-and-mortar locations, the report finds.  The survey found Canadian shoppers want more detailed specs, better search functionality, easier returns, the ability to ask questions about a product and a better delivery experience as necessary to improve the online shopping experience. Meanwhile, research found that Americans focus more on speed, convenience, and personalization, likely due to the larger availability of e-commerce experiences and products in the U.S., the report says. “Retailers must shift their focus from channel to customer,” says Mr. Polyakov. “Consumers expect retailers to meet them where they are – online, whether it’s mobile or laptop, in-store, or on social media – and to deliver the same experience regardless. The only way retailers can meet their expectations is by breaking down data silos and developing a seamless, connected experience.” A new type of shopping experience is emerging While physical stores aren’t disappearing anytime soon, Canadian consumers expect a ‘phygital’ shopping experience, which seamlessly combines the service experience of in-store shopping with the product variety and convenience found online, says Mr. Polyakov. “E-commerce capabilities like click and collect and return in-store are becoming must-have services for retailers to remain competitive,” he says. “But seamless commerce needs to go beyond that. Our survey found almost two-thirds of Canadians want retailers to be more creative when replicating in-store experiences online, such as using virtual reality and artificial intelligence.” Retailers in China and most of Asia are already adopting live social commerce—which allows for real-time buying and interaction during live video events. However, Canada has yet to catch on to this concept, with KPMG’s research finding that most Canadians don’t make purchases from social platforms, and that’s not expected to change soon. Over the next three to five years, only four per cent of Canadians say they intend to use social platforms more frequently to make purchases—while nearly five per cent expect to use them less frequently. “While live commerce isn’t a huge factor yet in Canada, we expect this will change as more retailers experiment with their offerings to attract younger audiences who find the format fun and engaging and a way to secure better deals and prices,” says Mr. Polyakov. “Retailers will need to stay one step ahead by delivering consistent, personalized experiences, regardless of how customers choose to shop,” says Mr. Polyakov.

/

The company is building AI agents for the global HR industry, leveraging conversational AI to automate and speed up the process of on-boarding, managing, and paying international team members. TORONTO, March 21, 2024 /CNW/ — Borderless AI, the AI-powered startup disrupting the Employer of Record (EOR) space, today announced that it has raised $27 million in seed funding to leverage the power of generative AI to automate and accelerate the process of onboarding, managing, and paying international team members. Removing compliance, payment, tax law, and onboarding challenges of the past, Borderless AI’s novel AI agent, Alberni, can solve complex problems and automate processes in any country around the world within 10 minutes; the market norm is 7-10 business days. The $27 million seed round was led by Susquehanna and Aglaé Ventures, the venture arm of Bernard Arnault, currently the richest man in the world, with participation from additional institutional investors. The company was founded by serial entrepreneur Willson Cross and Lyft’s founding investor Sean Aggarwal. Borderless AI’s launch comes at a time of increased investment and interest in vertical-specific AI, with numerous companies like Harvey for legal services and Sierra for customer service, leading the way and drawing attention to the critical need for AI agents across verticals. “As the first company in the world to bring AI agents to HR, we are firm believers that AI agents will become commonplace for companies just like websites in the 90s and mobile apps in the 2000s,” said Willson Cross, Co-founder and CEO of Borderless AI. “Leveraging conversational AI, our platform automates many of the complexities within the global HR stack, without hallucinations, such as payroll set-up, time-off requests, or employment agreement generation. Our AI is fluent in a multitude of languages, allowing for geographic expansion and successful deployment of business operations around the globe.” Alberni is available in 170 languages and cuts the time it takes to generate employment agreements, allowing a company’s legal and HR teams to move faster, save money and ensure compliance in the onboarding and payments processes. Alberni can also answer complex employment law, finance or tax queries, an important need for the distributed global workforce and employers looking to scale quickly. “Our mission is to bring economic empowerment to the world,” said Sean Aggarwal, Executive Chairman and Co-founder of Borderless AI. “With our AI first approach to HR, we’re removing geographic barriers and democratizing access to the best job opportunities for talented people around the globe, and we’re excited to see the possibilities it opens for employers and employees alike.” Borderless AI is serving organizations of all sizes and across industries, and claims MG2, a 500+ employee-size, global architecture firm; and Affiniti, a venture-backed fintech startup as customers. The company worked with Omeed Malik and his investment bank, Farvahar Partners, in raising the majority of the round. Borderless AI is also a strategic partner of Large Language Model (LLM) leader Cohere and is the only partner deploying Cohere’s models to global HR. Borderless AI has developed its proprietary data platform that augments Cohere’s LLM, putting trust and accuracy at the forefront of the technology. “The HR industry is ripe for innovation and Borderless AI is one of those companies that has the rare combination of industry expertise, product innovation, and a deeply committed and capable founding team,” said Miyuki Matsumoto, Partner at Aglaé Ventures. “Globalization isn’t going anywhere and companies will rely on seamless technology like Borderless AI and Alberni to help them scale successfully on a global level. We strongly believe that AI agents for HR will become mainstream and we’re thrilled to be a part of this journey.” With an increased demand in technologies that help companies navigate complex issues that arise from hiring international team members, such as employment agreements and employee tax forms, Borderless AI’s technology is a key differentiator in the EOR market, accelerating the future of work and allowing companies to understand complex queries that previously took days or weeks to navigate.
