In particular, the R&amp;D tax incentive and its lucrative benefits have become progressively public knowledge. Despite this, however, there remains much confusion about the incentive.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, in light of this, we look at the record-keeping that is needed if a company wishes to apply for the R&amp;D tax incentive. Maintaining these documents is beneficial to companies as it will reduce the expenditure that may be associated with a compliance review. It also supports the company to conduct its work and re-visit ideas, processes and solutions in the future. Moreover, if the company wishes to commercialise its work, potential investors will anticipate having access to a comprehensive range of records.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What records should be maintained? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Companies must keep sufficient records to validate:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They conducted eligible research and development activities<\/li>\n<li>They experienced eligible expenditure in relation to those activities<\/li>\n<li>Their R&amp;D activities and expenditure met all other legislative requirements under the scheme<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Record keeping for tax purposes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A company\u2019s business records must be sufficient to verify:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The amount of expenditure incurred on R&amp;D activities<\/li>\n<li>The nature of the R&amp;D activities<\/li>\n<li>The relationship between the expenditure and the R&amp;D activities. It is the company\u2019s responsibility to satisfy the ATO of the accuracy of the method used to allocate and calculate the proportion of expenditure on core R&amp;D activities and supporting R&amp;D activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If the R&amp;D activity is undertaken by a contractor, documents involving to the contract, the R&amp;D activities and the project report and invoices should contain:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The date the R&amp;D activities are undertaken<\/li>\n<li>Sufficient detail to ascertain the amount of expenditure on the R&amp;D activities<\/li>\n<li>A description of the activities performed by the contractor to link the fee with a particular R&amp;D activity. Under tax law, records must generally be kept for a minimum of five years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As can be seen from above, record-keeping is vital for companies if they are wishing to claim a tax incentive. Indeed, the details in the incentive means that there can be confusion when making a tax claim based on R&amp;D activities. Hence, how can companies avoid errors when making a claim?<\/p>\n<p>One way of escaping error is by engaging in a reputable R&amp;D Tax Specialist, such as\u00a0Ausgrant. \u00a0Our specialists will be able to support any questions you may have.
