What are R&D tax incentives or Government Grants?
The research and development (R&D) tax incentive is offered by the Australian Government to encourage companies to engage in research and development activities that benefit our country. For small to medium businesses, the incentive provides a refundable tax offset for eligible entities whose aggregated turnover is less than $20āÆmillion. Tax offsets of up to 43.5% are available for costs incurred on eligible activities.
There are various government grants available which provide business owner the opportunity to obtain funding from the government towards a specific project. These vary in size, purpose and eligibility.
