The R&D Tax Incentive (RDTI) is Australia’s single largest Government Incentive. Australian companies creating new and novel products and services can utilise the RDTI to claim back a proportion of their eligible expenditure as a cash refund or tax offset.

The R&D Tax Incentive is administered by AusIndustry; a part of the Federal Department for Industry, Science & Technology, in collaboration with the ATO.

You can claim back up to 43.5% of eligible expenditure under the Australian Government R&D Tax Incentive Program. To find out how to maximise your claim amount, speak to one our R&D experts today.

Take all the guesswork away with applying by booking in a free assessment with us to assess your eligibility.  Once we go over your eligibility, we’ll then process the application for you. It’s that easy!

The RDTI has become a crucial part of our economy and a key resource for both emerging and traditional industry sectors. It is unlikely that the RDTI will disappear altogether, but it may undergo significant change. Some claimants and tax advisors have taken advantage of this lucrative incentive, prompting scrutiny and debate at a federal level. As a compliance tool, we hope Synnch can enable industry-led self-regulation, and we hope to have positive impact for all stakeholders involved.

Synnch was designed and constructed to be nimble in response to legislative or industry change. In fact, we already review key sources of legislative interpretation and AusIndsutry communication and actively implement changes to our user interface and feature set in response.
