What is the R&D Tax Incentive?
The R&D tax incentive is a rebate you get for developing new products and services. It allows you to claim back up to 43.5% of the costs related to research and development.
How does the R&D tax incentive work?
You need to undertake eligible R&D activities that involves research and experimentation.
You also need to:
spend over $20,000
operate as company (no trusts, partnerships, sole traders)
undertake R&D activities in Australia
How do I claim R&D tax relief?
In order to claim the R&D tax incentive, you need to lodge an Activity Registration every year that describes your R&D work.
You will be asked to break down your R&D experiment into two key components:
Outcome – whether an expert could predict the outcome in advance
Purpose – the R&D is conducted for the purpose of generating new knowledge
Once you have registered your R&D with AusIndustry you will then be able to include include an R&D Schedule in your 2019 ATO Income tax return and get an R&D tax offset.
How is the R&D tax credit calculated?
The R&D tax incentive provides a tax rebate of between 8.5% to 43.5%.
So if you spend $100,000 on developing a new product, you could get back between $8,500 and $43,500 depending on the company revenue and profitability.
If you are in profit, you are likely to get an R&D tax offset rather than cash back.
See the R&D tax calculator for information.
