About the R&D Tax Incentive Scheme

The R&D Tax Incentive scheme in Australia is designed to encourage companies to engage in R&D activities that drive innovation and economic growth. In FY23 alone, $3.4 billion was refunded to Australian businesses through this scheme, demonstrating its significant impact. This incentive provides tax offsets for eligible R&D expenditure, helping businesses offset some of the costs associated with their research and development activities.
