What the R&D Tax Incentive means for your business with New Zealand-wide accounting experts Tutbury & Associates Limited.
The newly introduced R&D Tax Incentive is a fit-for-purpose scheme that will support a wide range of businesses to undertake more R&D says New Zealand’s leading accounting experts Tutbury & Associates Limited.
The Government has committed to raising New Zealand’s research and development (R&D) expenditure to 2% of GDP over 10 years. “This new tax incentive that aims to encourage further spending on research and development,” says Kelly Tutbury, Accountant and Managing Director at Tutbury & Associates Limited.
The R&D incentive scheme will be introduced on April 1 that contains more generous tax breaks than billed at the Budget and businesses will have to spend far less to qualify. “The rate will be higher, the threshold lower, and the definition more inclusive,” says Kelly.
The 15% tax credit will be available from the beginning of a business's 2019/20 income year.
