- What is the R&D Tax Incentive? Get Up to 43.5% Back
The Program is an initiative implemented by the Australian government to encourage and support research and development activities within the country.
If you have been developing your own products/solutions/processes, you could be eligible to get up to 43.5% back on your spending.
For example, you spent $100k developing your unique algorithm that is going to blow people away, you could get up to $43.5k back! Ask us how!
Refundable Offset
Non Refundable Tax Offset
Refundable Offset
For eligible small to medium-sized companies with an annual aggregated turnover of less than $20 million, they may receive a refundable R&D offset rate equal to their corporate tax rate plus an 18.5% premium.
Non Refundable Tax Offset
For larger companies with an annual aggregated turnover of $20 million or more, they may receive a non-refundable R&D tax offset rate equal to their corporate tax rate plus an incremental premium. This offset can be used to reduce the company’s income tax liability.
