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% tax offset on eligible R&D expenditure

Do you know which business and financial documents are necessary for proper bookkeeping?

Do you have a robust system for collecting, recording, and organising information?

How often do you create reports and how do you interpret the data?

Do you have strategies in place to make data-driven organisational changes?
