For example, the Research and Development Tax Concession program is a federal tax incentive program to encourage Australian businesses of all sizes and in all sectors to conduct research and development in Australia that will lead to new, improved, or technologically advanced products or processes.
Consider the advantages for those projects that qualify. Australian-controlled private corporations can earn an a tax credit of up to 125 percent of qualified expenditures for R&D carried out in Australia. You receive a full tax deduction in the year you incur the expenses. You may even be able to carry over R&D deductions to subsequent years.
And what if your project's a dud? Even if the R&D is ultimately unsuccessful, you have still earned the credits.
Finally, if the project is something you are going to do anyway, filing for your tax claim is a no-brainer… it's free money back!
