How Much is the R&D Tax Incentive?

Australia’s R&D tax incentive can help businesses tap into significant tax savings depending on their research and development expenditure.

This incentive is widely used by mining and resources companies undertaking exploration, processing trials or environmental innovation work, where R&D expenditure is often significant.

  • Entities with under $20 million in aggregated turnover: These smaller, innovative companies benefit from a refundable tax offset, where the calculation is straightforward: it’s their corporate tax rate plus an extra 18.5%. This typically sums up to a 43.5% total offset, which can increase to 48.5% under certain conditions.
  • Entities with over $20 million in aggregated turnover: Larger companies are entitled to a non-refundable tax offset. This is determined by their R&D spending relative to their total expenditure, offering a scaled incentive to boost R&D intensity:
    • An 8.5% bonus on R&D expenses up to 2% of total expenditure.
    • A 16.5% bonus on any R&D spending beyond that 2%.
  • Entities with R&D expenditures exceeding $150 million: The offset aligns back to just the corporate tax rate, without additional bonuses.

R&D Tax Incentive Deadlines 2025-2026

Staying on top of your R&D tax incentive deadlines is essential to ensure your claim is lodged on time and your business receives the benefit it is entitled to.

The lodgement due date is based on your company’s financial year end:

  • Standard financial year end (30 June):
    Applications must be lodged by 30 April of the following year.
    For example, businesses with a 30 June 2026 year end must lodge their R&D application by 30 April 2027.
  • Non-standard financial year end:
    If your business uses a different reporting cycle, your R&D application must be lodged 10 months after the end of your financial year.

We help you plan ahead, prepare the required documentation and meet every deadline with confidence.
