What is R&D?

Everyone has their own idea of what R&D is. At Hall Chadwick, we know what matters is how the legislation defines it. Accordingly, we take a first principles approach to R&D.

We have people on the team with technical engineering knowledge who understand the scientific method and can speak your technical language. R&D may sit in the tax code, but the activities themselves are necessarily science-based.

Hall Chadwick has you covered with dual scientific and accounting expertise.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

An R&D entity is entitled to receive one of two tax offset rates dependent on the aggregated turnover for the entity:

Aggregated Turnover Less than $20 Million

Entitled to an R&D tax offset rate equal to their corporate tax rate plus an 18.5 percentage point premium.

Aggregated Turnover Equal to $20 Million or More

Entitled to an R&D tax offset rate plus a variable premium based on the level of their incremental R&D intensity for their R&D expenditure.

WE'RE HERE TO HELP

We can help you with the full life-cycle of your R&D program, including:

  • Assessing your eligibility to make an R&D claim
  • Determining eligibility of specific activities and expenditure
  • Making sure you have the right documentation to support your claim
  • Preparing and submitting your R&D application to AusIndustry
  • Preparing your R&D Tax Incentive Schedule for inclusion in your tax return

Encountering any uncertainty with your R&D, or simply want to learn a bit more about how the incentive works?
