What Is The R&D Tax Incentive?
The Research & Development Tax Incentive (RDTI) is an Australian Government program designed to support innovation by providing either:
A refundable tax offset (cashback) for eligible R&D spend, or
A non-refundable tax offset (tax reduction) if you're profitable
Eligible businesses can receive up to 43.5% back on qualifying R&D expenses.
The incentive exists to reduce the financial burden of innovation, allowing companies to:
Strengthen cashflow
Extend their development runway
Reduce the cost and risk of technical work
Invest more confidently in new products, technology, or systems
Most Australian businesses doing real innovation are under-claiming their R&D, or not claiming at all. simply because they don’t realise what actually qualifies.
If your company is building new products, improving technology, refining processes, or solving technical challenges, there’s a strong chance you’re eligible for a significant refund on costs you’re already spending.
Our R&D Eligibility Quiz helps you quickly check whether you qualify for the R&D Tax Incentive, and whether you may be eligible for $50,000–$200,000+ in refundable credits.

Testimonials
We've Helped 100's Of Australian Businesses
“We thought R&D was only for tech companies. We recovered over $180,000 for work we didn’t realise qualified.”
— Manufacturing Client, NSW
"I’d spoken with two other consultants prior to this, both of whom gave vague answers and weren’t confident in our eligibility. IncentiveHQ paired us with an R&D expert who uncovered a much larger claim than expected, and handled everything for us.
— Engineering Client, QLD
“We’d used another consultant before with mediocre results. Switching to IncentiveHQ was night and day, their partners were more thorough, strategic, and secured us 25% more than our previous claim.”
