About R&D Tax Talk
Designed to empower Australian businesses, this podcast breaks down the nuances of the R&D Tax Incentive and offers actionable insights to help you maximise your claim. Whether you're a seasoned innovator or new to R&D, "R&D Tax Talk" is your trusted resource for staying informed and making the most of this vital funding opportunity.
Episode 1: Transparency Reporting
In this inaugural episode, we explore the ATO's new R&D transparency reporting initiative — what it means, who it affects, and what R&D claimants need to know.
From September 2024, the ATO began publishing details about entities claiming R&D Tax Incentives on data.gov.au, including the amount of R&D expenditure claimed. This mirrors existing corporate tax transparency practices and aims to promote the integrity of the R&D program.
Key topics covered in Episode 1:
- What data the ATO is publishing and how it is structured
- Which claim years are covered in the first transparency report
- How transparency reporting affects your R&D governance and record-keeping practices
- What R&D claimants should do to prepare for ongoing transparency obligations
- The relationship between transparency reporting and the joint ATO/Department of Industry compliance reviews
