Overview

An overseas finding is a legally binding decision by the Department of Industry, Science and Resources on whether R&D activities conducted outside Australia are eligible for the R&DTI program. Companies must obtain a positive overseas finding before claiming expenditure on R&D activities conducted outside Australia with the Australian Taxation Office.

Eligibility Requirements

Overseas R&D activities must meet 4 conditions: be eligible core or supporting R&D activities, support an Australian core R&D activity that cannot be completed without them, be unable to be conducted solely in Australia (due to facility, expertise, equipment, biosecurity, population, or geographical/geological requirements), and have expenditure less than related Australian activities.
