An Australian Government tax offset that helps eligible companies invest in innovation by offsetting some of the cost of eligible research and development.
The R&DTI is a legislated program that supports companies undertaking eligible R&D activities in Australia. It provides a tax offset for eligible R&D expenditure, with eligible claims capped at $150 million per income year.
Its purpose is to encourage companies to conduct research and development they might not otherwise undertake, helping boost competitiveness, innovation and productivity across the Australian economy.
For innovative businesses, the R&DTI can improve cash flow, support experimentation, strengthen commercialisation readiness and help turn technical development into business growth.
Primarily for eligible companies carrying out genuine R&D activities, including businesses in software, manufacturing, engineering, biotech, medtech and other innovation-led sectors.
You must be an eligible R&D entity and conduct at least one eligible core R&D activity. Core activities generally involve systematic experimentation to generate new knowledge or resolve technical uncertainty.
Supporting R&D activities may also be eligible when they are directly related to core R&D activities.
Register eligible activities, maintain strong technical and financial records, then claim the R&D tax offset through your company tax return.
We help Australian businesses assess their R&D eligibility, prepare well-supported claims and strengthen the documentation behind their R&D activities. From initial assessment through to claim preparation and ongoing compliance, Vebiz helps make the RDTI process clearer and more manageable.
We review your projects, activities and business circumstances to identify potential eligible R&D activities and determine where further evidence or clarification may be required.
We help structure your R&D activities into a clear, supportable claim and assist with preparing the technical narratives and supporting documentation required for the application.
We work with your business and accounting team to help identify and organise expenditure associated with eligible R&D activities and align the financial information with the technical claim.

The R&D Tax Incentive is an Australian Government program designed to encourage businesses to invest in eligible research and development activities by providing a tax benefit for qualifying R&D expenditure.
Eligible activities generally involve experimentation, technical uncertainty and the development of new or improved products, processes, technologies or services. Supporting activities may also qualify in certain circumstances.
Yes. Vebiz can assist with eligibility assessment, technical documentation, expenditure review, application preparation and compliance guidance throughout the process.
Vebiz can help review your documentation, identify potential compliance gaps and prepare supporting information to strengthen your position during a review or audit.
Eligibility depends on factors such as the nature of your R&D activities, the technical uncertainty involved, how the work is conducted and documented, and the expenditure incurred. Vebiz can assess your activities and help determine whether they may meet the program requirements.
Good documentation helps demonstrate what R&D was undertaken, the technical challenges involved, the experiments performed and the outcomes achieved. Strong records can also support compliance and audit readiness.
Overseas R&D can be subject to additional requirements and may require specific approval. Vebiz can help assess whether overseas activities may be eligible and what additional steps may be required.
Depending on eligibility, expenditure may include employee costs, contractor expenses, materials and certain other costs directly associated with eligible R&D activities.
Ideally, R&D planning and documentation should begin while the activities are being undertaken rather than waiting until the end of the financial year. This helps create stronger records and makes the claim process more efficient.
Potentially, yes. Businesses of different sizes may be able to access the program if they meet the relevant eligibility requirements and undertake qualifying R&D activities.
From business advisory and grants to R&D tax support, strategic innovation, and global growth, Vebiz helps Australian businesses access opportunities and move forward with confidence.
