How does the R&D Tax Incentive Claim work?

The R&D Tax Incentive Claim (aka the R&D Tax Credit) is the Australian Government Incentive to stimulate and drive innovation and research & development in Australia. Creating innovation costs money. Therefore, the government has created an excellent way to help innovative companies fund their R&D costs and help them commercialise their end goals.

Application for Eligibility

It starts with an application for eligibility and award of an eligible AusIndustry Programme. We have specialist industry experts that spend time with your business and R&D team members to create detailed, complete and compelling R&D applications.

Innovative businesses generally run with losses for their first few financial years. It takes time to get the R&D right before your company generates income and commercial success.

R&D Tax Offset

Under the current Australian tax rules, a company’s losses are carried forward until the time the company becomes profitable. At that point, the company can offset their posted losses against their profits and pay less tax, or even no tax at all. But running at a loss costs you money.

The R&D Tax Offset allows your company to access your tax losses in cash, today.

The easiest way to explain? Spend $1,000,000 on eligible research & development costs and you will be able to apply for $435,000 back in cash.

What happens after we become highly profitable and rich?

You’ll continue receiving support even after your company becomes profitable. You receive additional tax offsets on your eligible R&D expenses in your tax returns – 43.5% of the value of all eligible R&D costs. Spend $1,000,000 on eligible research & development costs and you will be able to apply for $435,000 back in tax offsets. The current company tax rate is 26%, so that means your eligible R&D tax deductions are at a much higher deductibility rate of 43.5%. 

R&D Activities fuel the cashflows of innovative companies.
