TAX INCENTIVES
The Research and development (R&D) tax incentive encourages companies to engage in R&D
benefiting Australia, by providing a tax offset for eligible R&D activities. It has two core components:
​
- a refundable tax offset for certain eligible entities whose aggregated turnover is less than $20 million
- a non-refundable tax offset for all other eligible entities
​
We can determine if you’re eligible and help you to optimise your tax credit opportunities.
