LB 4BA: Tax credits for early childhood education
or “Money back for childcare costs”
You could also call this:

“Getting a tax credit for losses from research and development activities”

You can get a tax credit for a tax year if you have research and development (R&D) tax losses. The amount of the tax credit is the same as your R&D loss tax credit for that tax year. To find out more about how this works, you can look at the rules in subpart MX of the Income Tax Act 2007. These rules explain how tax credits for R&D tax losses are calculated.
