A proposal to change the R&D tax incentive from July 1 2018 was proposed in the recent Federal Budget.
The changes are as follows:
- For companies under $20M
If you are a base rate entity with a tax rate of 27.5%, the refundable tax offset will change from the 43.5% to 41%. If the tax rate remains at 30%, there will be no changes. However, a maximum cash refund of $4M each year will apply. - For companies over $20M
The basis of the R&D intensity percentage is from the amount of R&D related expenditure as percentage of total company expenditure. For the percentage offset difference, its basis will be on whether one is a base rate entity.
