Pitcher Partners AusIndustry: Guide to Software R&D Claims
Pitcher Partners has released initial observations on AusIndustry's guidance in relation to software development related R&D claims.
Pitcher Partners observation
We previously advised that the ATO was concerned with expenditure associated with software related R&D claims based on the Australian Financial Review article on ATO’s rejection of Airtasker’s software development R&D claim. As a result of significant public interest in this matter, AusIndustry has recently released guidance for companies undertaking software development R&D activities. AusIndustry considers the generation of new knowledge for activities within software development projects to be dependent on a scientific and/or technological advance.
