5 reasons to outsource in Quebec
1. Faced with worldwide competition in technological developments, the best hope for IT companies from Quebec is to be evolutionary, to offer customers perfectly adapted solutions to today’s needs and to be able to anticipate those of tomorrow.
2. Montreal holds the title of Canada’s R&D capital. Its creativity is the heart of its economic and social growth. Moreover, the Quebec strategy includes various measures which provide assistance with company financing, increase the support for R&D and innovation, and reduce the corporative taxation.
3. In fact, the greater Montreal area can count on a labor whose general level of qualification is comparable with that of the United States, but whose costs remain lower, and this in spite of the recent appreciation of the Canadian dollar compared to the American currency. From a company’s total costs of exploitation to the houses’ accessible price and its universal healthcare system, Montreal ranks as a high profitable knowledge destination for all types of businesses.
4. Quebec’s corporative tax system offers favorable measures to investments, in particular in regards to R&D.  Indeed, the government of Quebec offers investors a series of inciting financial measures and solutions among the most generous in North America.  For example, the combination of the tax incentives offered by the governments of Quebec and Canada offers companies a reduction up to 75% of their cost on R&D.  Thanks to this approach, the Montreal area enjoys the most generous tax system for R&D in Canada, even more competitive than that of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Japan.
5.Tax credits for R&D apply on the wages and eligible expenditures. For a company under Canadian control, the Net cost for 100$ of R&D can be as low as 31$ for large companies and as 24$ for SME
