Service details

A detailed description of our Government grants and concessions services is provided below.

Research and development (R&D) tax concessions
The research and development (R&D) tax concession is a tax deduction equal to 125% or 175% of the research and development (R&D) expenditure. In order to claim the concession, businesses need to have in place significant documents, including research and development (R&D) plans and records of the research and development (R&D) activities. We assist clients on the preparation of necessary documentation and can assist with preparing the application. We also review clients' research and development (R&D) activities to determine if such a claim exists, as many businesses fail to identify all of their eligible activities.

Research and development (R&D) tax offset
Small companies may be entitled to claim the research and development (R&D) tax offset rather than claiming the research and development (R&D) tax concession. The research and development (R&D) tax offset is a cash rebate that can seriously assist a company's cashflow. We can help you to prepare the appropriate documentation and application.

EMDG
The EMDG is a cash grant available to aspiring and current exporters which alleviates the costs associated with exporting their goods and services in the global marketplace. Our experts review clients' activities and costs and advise on the availability of the EMDG. We also assist with preparing the application to AusTrade.

Other grants
There are a number of other industry grants available to businesses to assist them to compete in the global market place. We can advise on the availability of these grants and the cost and benefits of applying for them.
