Aged care innovation - R&D Tax Benchmark
What proportion of total business expenses do Australian aged care innovation typically claim as R&D under the RDTI?
What drives R&D intensity in this sector
Care delivery is excluded. Eligible R&D usually sits inside a tech subsidiary or formal pilot programme.
Sector disclaimer
Standard care delivery is not R&D. Higher allocations typically reflect a software arm or government-co-funded pilot, not the operating facility itself.
ATO & AusIndustry context
Care-services revenue and staffing should be excluded from notional R&D unless directly tied to an experimental protocol.
