Maximise Your R&D Tax Incentive
Australian startups can claim up to 43.5% of eligible R&D expenditure back from the ATO. We help you document development work and maximise your claims.
The R&D Tax Incentive is one of the most valuable programs for Australian tech startups. Companies under $20 million turnover get a 43.5% refundable tax offset on eligible R&D—real cash back, even if you're pre-profit.
Software development qualifies when it involves technical uncertainty and experimentation. Building new products, novel algorithms, and solving technical challenges you can't Google—these activities typically qualify.
