Technical uncertainty
Whether your projects faced problems where the outcome could not readily be determined in advance.
Australian R&D Tax Incentive
Does your development work qualify for the R&D Tax Incentive?
Master Business Accelerator built this free screening for Australian companies. You have invested in software, technical development, or process improvement. This tool shows how strong your R&D position looks against the R&D Tax Incentive standard, and what practical next step makes sense. It is a screening tool, not a legal determination.

What the assessment screens for
A genuine diagnostic, not a generic lead quiz
In a few minutes you will see whether your projects show the core characteristics of a potentially valid claim, and whether your records and structure could weaken one. It is a screening tool to help you understand if a deeper review is worthwhile, useful long before you speak to an adviser.
Startups & SMEs
Software & AI
Innovation-led firms
Experimentation
Whether you tested different approaches, prototypes, or methods to work out what would succeed.
New technical knowledge
Whether the work generated genuine new learning for your business about what would or would not work.
Evidence readiness
Whether your documentation, labour records, and time tracking would support a future claim.
Expenditure & scale
Whether your development spend is at a level that makes an RDTI claim commercially worthwhile.
Commercial structure
Whether your entity, commercial rights, and financial risk position support eligibility.
