FAQ

  • What is the R&D Tax Incentive?

    The R&D Tax Incentive (R&DTI) is an Australian Government program that offers tax offsets to eligible businesses conducting research and development activities. Its objective is to encourage innovation and increase competitiveness by reducing the overall cost of R&D activities. This financial support frees up capital for further innovation and growth, enhancing the ability to undertake larger or more complex R&D projects and increasing the competitive edge in the market.

  • Who is eligible for the R&DTI?

    Any company incorporated in Australia that is conducting eligible Research and Development activities can apply for the R&D Tax Incentive (R&DTI). Eligibility criteria includes spending at least $20,000 on R&D and ensuring the activities meet the definition of core or supporting R&D activities as outlined by the program.

     

  • How much can I claim through the R&DTI?

    The claimable amount through the R&D Tax Incentive depends on the turnover of your business. Small businesses with an aggregated turnover of less than $20 million can claim a refundable tax offset of up to 43.5% on eligible R&D expenditure. Larger businesses can request a non-refundable tax offset of 38.5%. You can submit applications for eligible R&D activities conducted in the previous income year, but it’s crucial to maintain accurate records and documentation to support your submissions.

  • What are considered eligible R&D activities?

    Eligible Research and Development activities involve experimental processes aimed at generating new knowledge or improving existing products, processes, or services. These activities require investigation and a level of innovation. Core activities directly contribute to new advancements, while supporting activities assist and enhance the core R&D efforts.

  • How does FundFindrs help with the R&DTI application?

    FundFindrs provides end-to-end support for your R&DTI application. Our experienced consultants handle everything from identifying eligible activities to preparing and submitting the application.

    Our no-win, no-fee policy means we only charge for our services if your R&DTI application is successful. This ensures that we are as invested in your success as you are. Contact us through this page and schedule a FREE consultation to maximise your R&D tax incentive claim.
