Changes to the 2022 Research & Development Tax Incentive Schedule

Here’s what you need to know:

The ATO has recently released its Research and Development Tax Incentive Schedule (NAT 73794) for the 2022 financial year. Legislative changes introduced in the October 2020 budget have seen the introduction of changes in the way R&D entities calculate and report their R&D tax offset expenses to the ATO for the YE 30 June 2022 compared to prior years.

Consequently, this has also resulted in some changes in R&D entity’s tax return. Changes to the R&D tax schedule apply for income years commencing on or after 1 July 2021; therefore for early balancing entities with an early balancing substituted accounting period, the new R&D tax schedule applies from 1 January 2022.

Specific label changes in the new ATO’s Research and Development Tax Incentive Schedule 2022 include additional reporting for:

 

Part B – Clawback Amounts

 

Part E – R&D Tax Offset Calculation

 

Instructions on how to complete the 2022 R&D Tax schedule are available online. We hope that the ATO releases numerical examples and additional guidance pertaining to the calculation of R&D recoupment amount, assessable and deductable balancing adjustments, and clawbacks under these amendments. Communication and guidance from the ATO will enable R&D entities to appropriately categorize and calculate eligible R&D expenditure and reduce any potential for compliance audits.
