Research & Development Tax Incentive boost from government to fast-track plant R&D

March 9th, 2018

Australia’s only ASX listed plant breeding company, Abundant Produce Limited, has received a $630,000 Research & Development Tax Incentive. This incentive is an increase from previous estimates of $250,000.

In addition to the received grant, the NSW Government’s TechVouchers program will also fund a $20,000 project in collaboration with the University of NSW for the Taste of Research Programme and R&D for ABT’s Lycopene ActiveLyco Products.

The ABT will also release a third source of funds of $50,000 thanks to an Export Markets Development Grant (EMDG) return. A further $110,000 will be coming the company’s way via an Innovations Connections grants from the Australian Government which will fund a new graduate and R&D for future products.

ABT’s Group CEO signifies the importance of increasing shareholder value through applications for government funding. There are a large amount of grant facilities on a federal and state level available to reduce the impact of costs associated with development and overseas exportation of new innovative products.

The R&D Tax Incentive provides a tax benefit to help companies like ABT offset the cost of conducting eligible research and development activities. In order to make a claim a minimum spend of $20,000 on eligible R&D activities is required and your activities must generate new knowledge.
