The end of 'supporting activities' for R&D Tax Incentive From July 2028

Описание: 🚨 The biggest R&D Tax shake-up in a decade is coming. 🚨

Starting 1 July 2028, the federal government is proposing to rebuild the RDTI from the ground up. The headline? Supporting activities are being removed entirely.

While offset rates for core activities are set to increase by 4.5 percentage points, the removal of supporting work will narrow the expenditure base for virtually every claim. If your claim relies on data collection, infrastructure, or admin overheads, your future funding could be at risk.

What you need to do:
✅ Model your core/supporting split now.
✅ Shift focus toward “deep experimentation”.
✅ Build a “gold-standard” documentation habit to survive the new “one-strike” regulatory environment.

This update specifically targets routine background work like data collection for algorithm training, putting many current claims at risk. If you operate a tech business in Australia, you need to understand these new compliance rules before the deadline hits.
