FUNDING / LOAN PROCESS

Three distinct prepayment offerings are available:

1. Prior year expenditure. This offering allows eligible R&D companies to receive a prepayment against their prior year’s expenses before registering their annual activities and lodging the company’s tax return.

2. Current year expenditure. The second prepayment offering allows eligible R&D companies to draw down the loan against the current year R&D expenditure on a quarterly or half-yearly basis.

3. Longer term – against a partially funded R&D plan and budget, backed by a positive Advanced Finding – whereby the prepayment loan will be provided at the commencement of a project or financial year.

Refer the R&DCP flyer for detailed examples of the above offerings.

The R&D Tax Prepayment Process

1. The Company develops its R&D project plan (“The Plan”).

2. The Plan is written in compliance with AusIndustry’s R&D Tax Incentive Program.

3. The Plan is approved by TCF Services to determine the eligibility of the R&D expenditure.

4. The Company applies to R&DCP for the Loan using its standardised process.

5. R&DCP completes its due diligence, typically within 72 hours

6. The Loan Agreement is signed with R&DCP and upfront establishment fee paid

7. The Loan is drawn down as the Plan’s expenditure is made.
