The deadline for the 2018-2019 financial year will be extended to the 30th of September 2020, as recently announced by Austrade, from the previously scheduled 30th April, 2020.
The decision in extending the deadline is in line with the organization’s aim to help businesses that have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic to have more time to complete the necessary requirements for submission.
“We’re aware that COVID-19 and the recent bushfires may have affected your economic circumstances. If so, we don’t want your R&D Tax Incentive claims to concern you.
We’ll be accepting registration applications for the 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019 income year until 30 September 2020. You’re not required to request an extension of time during this period.
If you’re unable to lodge your application by 30 September 2020, you may request an extension of time.”
