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.
If your R&D Tax Consultant has been asking you for records you can’t produce or don’t have, then this checklist will help you plug the gaps AND ensure you are able to claim the maximum amount allowed under the R&D Tax Incentive.
AusIndustry is Increasing their Audits
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.
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 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.
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!
