You May Still Be Eligible!
If your company missed the 30 April 2026 R&D Tax Incentive lodgement deadline, you may still have an opportunity to apply.
Late Lodgement Is Possible—But Not Guaranteed
Under the legislation there the possibility to lodge a late application in very specific circumstances. The request requires justification in a well-prepared submission.
