OIDMTC Consulting Services

percentThe Ontario Interactive Digital Media Tax Credit (OIDMTC) is a refundable tax credit based on eligible Ontario labour expenditures and eligible marketing and distribution expenses claimed by a qualifying corporation with respect to interactive digital media products.

Resultel Technologies helps companies understand, navigate, prepare, file, and successfully claim OIDMTC refundable tax credits.  Here's the 10 step process that we use to do it right the first time, and get you maximum benefits:

1. Identify Projects

You provide a very high level view of the key development activities for the fiscal period; we jointly analyze these activities in light of the eligibility guidelines and facilitate identification of projects that have the potential for being eligible for OIDMTC refundable tax credits

2. Collect Project Data

We work with you and your team to walkthrough the technical details for the projects identified in Step 1; for each activity, we probe: 'why? why? why?' to identify the technological challenges and systematic investigation conducted to overcome them.  We clearly distinguish the technological advancements from project’s business objectives, the latter being of no consequence from OIDMTC’s perspective.

3. Develop Draft Technical Write Ups

We develop and draft the technical write-up of the projects; clearly identify technological advancements, challenges, and the work done to overcome them, ensure sufficiency of data and identify any additional information required.  We benchmark the technological advancements against the contemporary ‘state of the art’ technologies.  This step does not involve any participation from your end as it is accomplished at our facility.

4. Conduct Technical Reviews

We email the draft technical write-ups to you, walk through them with you, incorporate your feedback and finalize the project descriptions.  Occasionally, at this point, more sub-projects, or OIDMTC activities, may be identified, and repeat of Steps 1 to 3 may be warranted.

5. Prepare Financial Data

We conduct detailed labour analysis, project costs estimation, and preliminary calculations for the OIDMTC claim.  We review such documents as employees T4’s, supply agreements and contract payments, as part of due diligence to ensure all expenses claimed are justifiable.

6. Conduct Financial Review

We prepare and review financial assertion with you, to ensure we have not missed any important cost factors.

7. Identify Required Supporting Documentation

We help collect supporting documentation; this includes both contemporaneous technical and financial information.   Although, most of the claims filed by us are approved without a detailed on-site audit,  we ensure projects’ back up details are readily available for a potential audit.

8. Develop Submission

If you have not filed your corporate tax return, we provide the OIDMTC claim related information to the accountant and work with him/her to file the claim as part of the filed your corporate tax return.  If you have already filed it, we submit the OIDMTC claim and amend the tax return without any assistance from your accountant.

9. Participate In Audit / Follow Up

We participate in the audit and all OIDMTC related meetings to clarify justify and defend the submission

10. Train Your Company For Subsequent Submissions

Finally, we review lessons learned and prepare guidelines for further submissions

We do not actively engage in reviewing previously or currently submitted OIDMTC claims, or pursue notice of objection or process appeals for claims prepared by others.
