At LJ Talents, we specialise in supporting Australian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to access two of the most valuable Federal Government programs:
1. The Research and Development Tax Incentive (RDTI)
2. The Export Market Development Grants (EMDG)
Whether you're developing innovative products, refining complex systems, or reaching international customers, these programs offer financial incentives to help reduce costs and accelerate growth. Our expert guidance ensures your application is accurate, compliant, and strategically positioned for success.
The Research and Development Tax Incentive (RDTI) is Australia’s leading innovation support program, offering generous tax offsets for businesses conducting eligible R&D activities. Companies with annual turnover under $20 million may receive a 43.5% refundable tax offset, while larger businesses may access a non-refundable offset.
The RDTI is designed to support activities that involve technical uncertainty, experimentation, and the creation of new knowledge. It is especially beneficial for:
🏭 Manufacturing and Engineering
Manufacturers developing new equipment, improving production lines, or enhancing material properties often conduct eligible R&D. Activities such as prototype development, mechanical stress testing, automation system design, or sustainability improvements may be covered. Examples include the development of mining technologies, drone innovations, improvements in manufacturing processes, and advancements in food technology etc.
💻 Software Development
Software companies building novel systems, platforms, SaaS products, or AI tools can claim R&D activities where there is a need to solve technical problems, build custom algorithms, or integrate complex architectures. Agile development cycles, backend innovation, and performance enhancements may all qualify. For example, this includes the development of Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), AI-powered platforms, and blockchain-based technologies etc.
🧬 Biotech and Life Sciences
If you're developing new therapeutic compounds, conducting preclinical or clinical trials, or working on advanced diagnostics, RDTI can help offset the costs of lab research, formulation testing, regulatory validation, and more.
