However, previous data analysis has found that small and medium (SMEs) and large firms had similar levels of variation of R&amp;D expenditure. With Turnbull\u2019s rise to the role of Prime Minister, the term \u2018innovation\u2019 has become shorthand for all that encompasses future business in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>With this in mind, when it comes to government incentives for smaller and start-up companies, you can\u2019t undervalue the worth of the R&amp;D Tax Incentive for a developing business.<\/p>\n<p>The Research and Development (R&amp;D) Tax Incentive is one route that is obtainable for start-ups and offers companies up to 43.5 cents back for every eligible dollar \u2013 even in cases where start-up firms aren\u2019t yet paying tax.<\/p>\n<p>Presently, for business owners who have not applied for the R&amp;D Tax Incentive before, it is a directed, substantial entitlement program\u00a0that may aid business owners offset some of the costs of doing R&amp;D. The incentive\u2019s purpose is to assist more businesses to do R&amp;D and innovate.<\/p>\n<p>In summary,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Companies may obtain a 43.5% refundable tax offset &#8211;\u00a0<sup>\u00a0<\/sup>if their\u00a0aggregated turnover is less than $20 million.<\/li>\n<li>For aggregated turnover more than $20 million, a 38.5% non-refundable offset can be claimed for notional deductions incurred on eligible activities.<\/li>\n<li>You must register with AusIndustry prior to lodging your company income tax return and within 10 months of your company\u2019s income year, i.e. 30 April 2016 for a 30 June 2015 income year end.<\/li>\n<li>It is open to firms in all sectors\u00a0that are undertaking eligible R&amp;D.<\/li>\n<li>A company must have notional R&amp;D deductions for an income year of at least $20,000\u00a0in order to claim a R&amp;D Tax offset.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information about the R&amp;D Tax Incentive contact <a href=\"http:\/\/ausgrant.com.au\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\">AusGrant <\/a>today to find out if you qualify or with any questions you may have.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The notion of &#8216;research and development&#8217; is often erroneously believed to be\u00a0only reserved for larger companies or those draped in <a href=\"https:\/\/ausgrant.com\/au\/could-you-be-eligible-summarising-the-rd-tax-incentive\/\" style=\"float:right; padding-bottom:10px;\"><br \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-764","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-latest-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Could You Be Eligible?
