Why Do I Need This Guide?
The way of applying for the R&D Tax Incentive has been changed from the 5th July 2021: a new customer portal has been launched! Instead of using PDF smart forms, this new customer web portal makes it easier for companies to manage their applications online.
The Softlogic Solutions R&D Tax Incentive Customer Portal Guide can help you get familiar with the new portal interface and sections. More importantly, this guide can remind you of all the necessary records so you can prepare them prior to commencing the claim registration process.
Why Are Records Important?
Claiming the maximum amount possible under the R&D Tax Incentive is dependent on having the right records in place to justify your claim.
The Government has made significant changes to the application process, which puts the onus back on you, the company claiming, to provide detail that was not previously required.
Going forward, your accountant will not be able to ‘fill in the detail’ for you. The changes to the application require the new knowledge you are creating to be directly linked to an experiments and the hypothesis in a way that substantiates the eligibility of the R&D.
Don't Under-claim Due to Insufficient Records
Your R&D tax claim prepared by your accountant can only claim the items that have supporting evidence and paperwork.
Most businesses claiming under the R&D Tax Incentive scheme are under-claiming by because the paperwork required is not in place.
The most common problems with records are either:
Incomplete records so there are components of your work that are not able to be safely claimed.
Have insufficient detail to make them compliant, so your accountant will likely exclude the expense from your claim or risk a fine in case you are audited.
AusIndustry are Increasing their Audits in 2021-2022
- To safely claim under the R&D Tax Incentive provisions, you must provide the ATO and AusIndustry with evidence of your research and development to substantiate an R&D Tax claim.
- The ATO and AusIndustry have very specific requirements and formats in order to ‘honour’ your claim.
- The risk at an audit can be easily managed by ensuring that you have all the right records in place, significantly reducing potential AusIndustry and ATO audit issues.
MAKE THE TAX CLAIM PREPARATION EASY & EFFICIENT
- Remove the scramble for paperwork when your Accountant starts preparing your claim. The checklist will help you make sure you have all the records you need at the ready without to-ing and fro-ing between your accountant and your R&D team.
- By using a checklist approach with templates to support the documentation process as you work. You create all the right records, in the right format as the work is done – saving time and increasing the amount you can claim come tax time!
