Description:
For businesses looking to embark on, or are currently engaged in, R&D projects, understanding and complying with the intricate R&D Tax Incentive (R&DTI) regulations can be challenging and time-consuming.
It is crucial that business leaders and their teams possess the necessary technical knowledge and understanding to carry out R&D projects effectively, and manage compliance requirements for tax incentives, as well as accurately report R&D expenses.
R&D Masterclass is a professional online training course designed to assist businesses that are considering conducting or are already engaged in R&D projects, and claiming other tax or government incentives. It is also beneficial for tax accountants and advisors so they can accurately assess clients’ eligibility for the R&DTI.
The course demystifies the R&DTI by explaining the application process and reporting requirements in plain English.
Students learn how to:
• Identify an eligible project
• Maintain records of experiments, structure your application
• Accurately calculate eligible expenditure during your R&D project development process
• Understand R&DTI eligibility criteria and compliance requirements
• Be able to support your team in managing compliance requirements and accurate reporting of R&D expenses for tax incentives
You will receive a certification upon successful course completion.
