body text: Research And Development Tax Incentives

We have found that most companies underestimate their actual R&D costs, especially if direct and indirect expenses aren't properly considered. Costs can include:

The cost of having your team on the project

Contractors conducting R&D on your behalf

Direct costs associated with building and testing your prototype

Additional costs required for your R&D activities

The Research and Development (R&D) Tax Incentive is the Australian government's key mechanism for fueling industry investment in R&D. The incentive offers companies a way to invest in R&D by easing some of the initial growing pains and  associated costs through a tax offset of up to 43.5% on eligible expenditure.

Over 14,000 businesses successfully claimed the tax offset in the last financial year

Since 2013, the incentive has provided $13.8 billion to Australian businesses

The grant is eligibility-based, not competitive - if you qualify, the tax offset is yours

The incentive offers peace of mind by minimising the risk associated with investing in research and development

Gain a competitive edge and place yourself at the forefront of your industry by exploring innovative technologies, processes, products, and services

Up to a 43.5% refund on eligible R&D expenditure

Patent applications must reflect all necessary details so they are legally valid before filing, but hiring a patent attorney or IP lawyer for the entire process can be expensive and time-consuming, leaving you with a huge bill and a product that may never make it to market. Here at Sprout Scientific, we'll help you lay out all aspects of your invention so that you can proceed to the legal review phase and get your idea patented as soon as possible. This process involves:

We will learn your business and invention(s) and develop a strategy for representing the same

Our technical drafting team will review all of your documentation and identify associated literature in the Prior Art

Our team of local consultants will draft the initial Abstract, Description, Method and Claims for your invention, ready for legal review/advice

We can also assist with providing drawings in line with established styling guides, and create other supporting documentation as required

We'll walk you through every step and ensure that your patent description, method, drawings and claims are clear, structured appropriately and concise, giving you the best chance of meeting your law team’s expectations - without the hefty price tag.
