Agenda

If you have export ambitions or are currently exporting goods, services, or intellectual property, access to funding is key to enabling your growth aspirations.

The Export Market Development Grant (EMDG) program for FY26 and FY27 is opening soon for Australian businesses with a turnover of greater than $100,000 and less than $20 million.

The program has been supporting Australian businesses to expand globally for a number of years. The reformed fourth round of the program is opening soon and brings some exciting new changes. These changes aim to provide greater certainty around grant funding and potentially offer grantees larger grant amounts.

Watch our webinar to learn about the new eligibility requirements for Round 4 and how to increase your chances of obtaining a grant agreement.

If you are a company innovating in Australia, the Research & Development Tax Incentive (RDTI), Australia’s flagship program, is here to support you.

The program offers generous benefits to offset some of the costs for eligible R&D activities in the form of cash credits or tax savings of up to 48.5% of eligible R&D expenditure. This provides vital support for businesses by funding growth and fostering future innovation.

Join us on 24 October for our webinar to learn about our latest RDTI insights and updates. We will discuss the growing focus on governance and transparency, and the release of new guidance and case studies from the regulators, including the latest machine learning case study released by AusIndustry.

Whether you are a first-time or a long-time claimant of the RDTI, this webinar will help you understand how to access the RDTI and the benefits of doing so, the current regulatory landscape, and the upcoming transparency measures.

Thank you for your interest in our webinar series. You will receive a confirmation email shortly.

In the meantime, learn more about our Innovation Incentives services here.

    Tax Agents Disclosures

    The Tax Practitioners Board maintains a register of tax agents and BAS agents. You can access and search this register here. This register includes details of the registration (and conditions if applicable) of Grant Thornton and our individual registered tax agents with whom you engage.

    Your engagement letter with Grant Thornton and the Standard Terms and Conditions set out our procedures for dealing with problems or complaints. The Tax Practitioners Board also has a complaints process in relation to tax agent services as outlined on their website which can be accessed here. 

    Tax agents have obligations to the Tax Practitioners Board and to their clients.  You also have obligations under the taxation laws and to your tax agent.  Please refer to these obligations on the TPB website or the TPB’s fact sheet "Information for Clients".

    Section 45 of the Tax Agent Services (Code of Professional Conduct) requires Grant Thornton to notify you if it becomes aware of certain events which have occurred in the past 5 years. Grant Thornton is not aware of any such events.
