R&D Tax Incentive
The R&D Tax Incentive is Australia’s primary program to help companies innovate and can provide you with non-dilutive funding to drive your R&D dollar further. However, it’s important that you understand the rules and that you and your R&D Tax Incentive claim meets the program criteria.
Our R&D Tax Incentive specialists work with your technical team to identify and document your R&D activities during the year. This means your annual R&D claim will be completed on time and based on the latest guidance from both the Australian Tax Office (ATO) and AusIndustry.

- Your startup or scaleup has an annual R&D expenditure of >$100K
- You, your board or other leadership is concerned about a review by AusIndustry or the ATO
- You, your board, or other leadership is concerned about the ATO’s views on software-based R&D and refundable R&D claims
