WEBINAR: Can you get access to more cash?

An overview of the R&D Tax Incentive

This webinar will provide guidance on maximising entitlements under the R&D Tax Incentive including some examples of activities and expenditure that could qualify for the program.

The Australian Government’s R&D Tax Incentive is a broad-based entitlement programme which supports companies performing innovative research by providing a generous tax-offset on expenditure incurred on eligible R&D activities.

This presentation will provide an overview of the Tax Incentive and how to get the greatest benefit from Tax Incentive claims.

BDO’s Dave Smith will cover:

• Who can access the R&D Tax Incentive
• The tax benefits of the R&D Tax Incentive
• The types of activities that could qualify
• Expenditure that can be claimed
• Some common issues encountered.

Dave will also briefly discuss some other relevant grants currently available in the commercialisation space.

This webinar will be useful for companies performing research and development activities who are interested in understanding more about the R&D Tax Incentive and increasing their R&D Tax Incentive claims.
