♦ Tax Offset Changes to Boost Research & Development
The Rudd Government has taken a significant first step towards the biggest reform to business innovation support for more than a decade with the passing of the Tax Laws Amendment Bill (2009 Measures no 4).
This Bill follows the Rudd Government’s 2009-10 Budget announcement that it will replace the existing R&D Tax Concession with a new, more streamlined R&D Tax Credit from 1 July 2010.
As part of this Bill, the Government is lifting the Research and Development (R&D) expenditure cap for the R&D Tax Offset from $1 million to $2 million for the 2009-10 financial year. The cap is the maximum amount a firm can spend on R&D and be eligible for the Tax Offset.
Further information on the R&D Tax Offset, the new R&D Tax Credit and the consultation process is available at www.ausindustry.gov.au
♦ New Definition of Medical and Dental Research
In September 2009, the ARC clarified its definition of Medical and Dental Research, in consultation with the National Health and Medical Research Council and stakeholders. This definition retains the original definition, and clarifies and elaborates on it. This definition will apply to all new Funding Rules for ARC.
