Welcome to TechAbstract

We only deliver 100% successful compliant R&D tax incentive applications with the best financial outcomes

Can you benefit from the R&D Tax Incentive program?

Are you the owner of a small to medium-sized business and have come up with an innovative solution to one more problem in your business?

Have you developed a new product feature or design, or have you developed a new process or manufacturing method that is new in your industry?

You may be doing R&D that is eligible for the R&D Tax Incentive and not even know it. Perhaps you have heard about the R&D Tax Incentive program, but don’t know how to access it.

If you are a small business (turnover < $20M), then you could be entitled to a tax refund or credit of up to 43.5% of your R&D expenditure. See R&D Tax Incentive changes in 2020/2021 Budget.

About you

You are the owner, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Technical Officer, Chief Operating Officer or the Chief Financial Officer in a small to medium-sized business. You could even be the accountant for this business.

Forget about R&D stereotypes – you don’t need to be a high-tech company to be doing eligible R&D. Many small businesses do R&D and don’t even realise it.

You could be baking bread, making chocolates or developing innovative software applications. You just need to have worked out a creative new solution to a problem in your business. See Who can claim the R&D Tax Incentive and R&D Tax Incentive – what is it?

Software research in knowledge science is pretty abstract at the best of times. At CognitiveAI we have sought help from a number of organisations, from big 4 to individual specialists in claiming R&D rebates. The previous explanations were inadequate as they did not realise the importance of actually understanding what we were doing, why we were doing it and where it fitted into the broader research spectrum.

We have now employed Jamie Collins and Ian Combes from TechAbstract. They have exhibited a deep understanding of the AusIndustry requirements and have been able to describe our research in terms that AusIndustry can relate to. I highly recommend TechAbstract.

Why use an R&D Tax Incentive specialist?

An R&D Tax Incentive consultant will have an intimate knowledge of the R&D Tax Incentive requirements and can ensure that your application is fully compliant (See R&D Tax Incentive – eligibility) whilst ensuring that you claim all the eligible R&D activities that you are entitled to.

As with other government assistance programs, there is documentation that must be prepared for both the AusIndustry and the ATO R&D Tax Incentive applications.

An R&D Tax Incentive consultant can prepare both AusIndustry and ATO applications, demonstrating your compliance while minimizing your time requirements.
