Maximising the benefits
Most businesses claiming under the R&D Tax Incentive scheme are underclaiming by 30% – 60% and it is not their accountant’s fault.
The R&D Tax Incentive is government funding via your company tax return. It is used to fund innovation within Australian businesses, whether it is new product development, process efficiencies or enhancing your existing products.
Your tax claim prepared by your accountant can only claim for the items that you have the supporting documented process and paperwork. This is where most businesses under claim. Their records are either:
- Incomplete – so there are components of your work that is not being claim eg. staff involved but not in the project team.
- Insufficient detail to make them compliant so must be excluded from the claim (or risk a fine if audited).
R&D Process Optimisation
The R&D Tax Incentive requires documented evidence that you conducted the R&D in a systematic and scientific manner.Â
We have proven that the best way to ensure that the R&D is conducted properly is to integrate the required record keeping into the way you undertake the R&D. It is important to optimise your R&D processes so that your staff undertake the required steps without having to consider whether they are required by the R&D Tax Incentive, they are just best practice.Â
After all the legislation calls for a best practice R&D methodology so why not adhere to it and reap the benefits of well thought out R&D that also maximises the Tax benefits.
the R&D Tax Incentive Process Framework
We have developed Process Framework that when implemented in your R&D process will achieve a level of optimisation that will mean you will reap the maximum benefits from the R&D Tax Incentive.
We believe it is not about changing the way you conduct the R&D, but rather to ensure all aspected necessary are documented and captured reliably for all your projects.
On average, businesses that use our 6-step framework increase their claims by 30-60% while significantly reducing potential AusIndustry and ATO Audit issues.Â
