Claiming an R&D Tax Credit: The Process

When you’re uncertain of the process, claiming your R&D Tax Incentive is a short but perilous quest. Swanson Reed now simplifies it:

Step One: Determine Your Eligibility

To claim an R&D Tax credit, you must first qualify for that credit. According to the ATO, companies must be:

• Incorporated under an Australian law.
• Incorporated under a foreign law but be an Australian resident (for income purposes).
• A resident of a country that Australia shares a double-tax agreement with.
• Part of a permanent establishment as defined by the double-tax agreement.

Step Two: Note all Exemptions

Trying to claim an R&D Tax Incentive requires an understanding of its exemptions, with the following entities unable to apply:

• Companies whose statutory income is exempt from income tax.
• Companies controlled by one or more exempt entities (refers to 38.5% non-refundable tax offset only).
• Companies whose aggregated turnover is less than $20 million (refers to 43.5% refundable tax offset only).

Step Three: Establish Aggregated Turnover.

Before claiming an R&D Tax Incentive, you must first calculate your aggregated turnover. This sum – which includes annual turnover for the income year and the annual turnover of any entity connected or affiliated with you within that same year – determines which options are available to you:

• Aggregated Amount of Over $20 Million: non-refundable 38.5% tax offset.
• Aggregated Amount of Less Than $20 Million: refundable 43.5% tax offset.

By following these steps, you can more easily claim an R&D Tax credit and expedite the documentation process.
