For accounting firms

Engage RDKit as your R&DTI specialist. You stay in control.

Your client needs an R&D Tax Incentive claim. You handle their tax affairs. We handle the R&DTI-specific work — project descriptions and financial analysis. You lodge everything for your client. Simple, clean, and entirely within your existing workflow.

You engage RDKit as your R&DTI consultant. You lodge for your client.

Think of us as the specialist you bring in for the R&DTI technical work — the same way you might engage a valuation specialist or a transfer pricing advisor. We do the R&DTI documentation. You handle the lodgements. Your client relationship stays entirely yours.

Step 1 — RDKit

We prepare the technical work

  • Interview your client on their R&D activities
  • Write all project descriptions (PDs)
  • Conduct financial analysis & eligible expenditure mapping
  • Prepare the complete AusIndustry application
  • Prepare the R&D Tax Offset Schedule
Step 2 — You

You lodge everything for your client

  • Review and approve the prepared application
  • Lodge the AusIndustry application on behalf of your client
  • Include the R&D Tax Offset Schedule in their tax return
  • Lodge the income tax return as normal

As the registered tax agent, you lodge both the AusIndustry registration and the ATO return for your client. We hand you everything ready to go.

Result

Your client gets the offset. You earn more.

  • Client recovers 43.5% or 38.5% of eligible R&D spend
  • You charge your normal tax return fee
  • You earn a referral fee from RDKit on top
  • No new expertise required on your end

Most of your SME clients probably qualify. Most won’t claim.

The Australian R&D Tax Incentive is claimed by fewer than 15,000 companies annually — despite tens of thousands more being eligible. The gap is R&DTI expertise. You bring the client relationship. We bring the specialist knowledge.

💰

Additional revenue per client

Earn a referral fee on every claim, on top of your normal tax return fee. An average claim returns $60–120k to your client — and a meaningful fee to your practice.

🤝

You stay in control

You engage us, we report to you, you lodge for your client. Your client relationship is entirely yours. We’re your behind-the-scenes R&DTI specialist — not a competitor.

🎯

No R&DTI expertise required

You don’t need to know AusIndustry criteria or write project descriptions. That’s exactly what RDKit is for. You assess tax. We assess R&D.

How you engage RDKit for your clients

Two ways to work together depending on your involvement level. No lock-in, no exclusivity.
