The R&D Tax incentive is claimed through the company income tax return or via amended assessment.
An eligible entity is normally a company incorporated in Australia. Trusts are not eligible R&D entities (unless it is a public trading trust).
Companies with turnover less than $20 million that are in tax losses can convert the 43.5% tax benefit to a cash rebate. Companies with a turnover of more than $20 million can claim the tax incentive as a tax credit (if in tax losses the tax credit is carried forward).
