- 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.

Eligibility Pop Quiz!
Could you be doing R&D? Answer these 5 questions in your head…
1. Are you building a new product, process, or technology—not just using existing tools?
Innovation is key, not routine development work. You’re probably filling a gap in the market.
2. Have you spent money trying to solve a technical problem or uncertainty?
Think testing, trial and error, or figuring out something that’s never been done in your context.
3. Did you hit roadblocks that required experimenting with different approaches?
If success wasn’t guaranteed and you had to try things, that’s a strong sign.
4. Is your team designing, coding, engineering, or testing something in-house?
We want to make sure the bulk of the experimenting was done in Australia! Founders, devs, or tech leads doing the work themselves? That counts.
5. Did you document your work—like images, email exchanges, progress reports, test results, or project notes?
Having records helps show the work was structured and deliberate.
Said yes to the above? You could be eligible!
