R&D Tax Incentive webinar series

The Australian R&D Tax Incentive is a self‑assessment program operating in an increasingly complex regulatory environment. Expectations around governance, transparency and documentation continue to evolve, and businesses need to ensure their approach to R&D claims is robust and well informed.

This two‑part webinar series is designed to help you navigate the program with confidence, clarity and practical insight.

Led by specialist R&D Tax advisers, these back-to-back sessions combine real-world experience, current regulatory observations and practical guidance to help you strengthen your approach – whether you are new to the program or reviewing an established claim framework.

*Members of professional associations can claim this webinar as CPD/CPE hours if personally satisfied it is professionally relevant and meets the CPD/CPE characteristics set out in the organisation’s regulations.
