What is the R&D Tax Incentive in Australia?
The Australian Government’s Research and Development (R&D) Tax Incentive is one of the most generous business tax concessions available — yet it is widely underutilised because many businesses do not realise they qualify, or submit poorly documented claims that are vulnerable to ATO review. The program is run jointly by AusIndustry and the ATO, and business.gov.au sets out the official eligibility rules.
Quantum House is a specialist R&D Tax Incentive accountant. We have helped businesses across technology, construction, medical, manufacturing, and other sectors successfully register and claim under the R&D programme.
How Does the R&D Tax Incentive Work?
- Eligible companies register their R&D activities with AusIndustry (now the Department of Industry).
- Eligible R&D expenditure is included in your company tax return as an offset.
- Companies with aggregated turnover under $20M may receive a refundable tax offset of up to 43.5%.
- Larger companies receive a non-refundable offset based on their corporate tax rate plus a loading.
Who is Eligible for the R&D Tax Incentive?
Eligibility isn’t limited to one industry — technology, biotech, construction, agriculture, and manufacturing companies all make successful claims. The key requirement is that your business activities involve innovation, experimentation, or solving technical uncertainty. If your team is testing new methods, processes, or products, you could be eligible.
How Quantum House Helps
Our R&D team manages the entire process: initial eligibility assessment, technical documentation of your R&D activities, preparation of the AusIndustry registration, and inclusion in your tax return. We also prepare robust supporting documentation to withstand ATO review, which is increasingly common in this area.
The 2026-27 Federal Budget also proposes larger R&D offsets from 1 July 2028, as summarised in our Budget highlights. For practical examples, read our guides to R&D claims for software development and the R&D Tax Incentive for start-ups.
