Minimum expenditure threshold flowchart

Question 1
Have you incurred eligible expenditure or depreciation loss of at least $20,000 on your eligible R&D activities in the 2008-09 income year? If you answered Yes then your expenditure may be eligible for the tax credit*. If you answered No then go to Question 2.
Question 2
Did you outsource the R&D activity to a listed research provider (LRP), or were you an eligible business for only part of the year (in which case the $20,000 is pro-rated)? If you answered Yes then your expenditure may be eligible for the tax credit*. If you answered No then your expenditure is not eligible for the tax credit*.
*To find out more, check the detailed R&D information or consult your professional advisor.
