			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you are aware, MJA has prepared a submission to the National Innovation System Review.  We have, by necessity of space and expertise, focussed on the R&amp;D tax concession and have mentioned briefly the Commercial Ready grants program.</p>
<p><strong>Download Our Executive Summary</strong> </p>
<p>We are delighted to make a copy of the Executive Summary of our submission available for download ahead of its release on the Review&#8217;s website.</p>
<p>You can obtain your copy by clicking <a href="http://ecast.gstweb.net/t/1/l/mfki/ttliihlk/mjassociates.com.au/assets/NIR.html"><strong>here</strong></a> and confirming your details. </p>

<p><strong>What level of after tax benefit would influence the project decision making process in your company?</strong></p>
<p>One of the points in our submissions, and an area for the specialist R&amp;D tax and tax working group to consider is the rate of benefit from the tax concession (the permanent cash difference it creates).   </p>
<p>There is an argument that the amount of the benefit should exceed the cost of capital in the organisation and represent a certain benefit over the life of the project to have a positive influence and end up in capital and other planning processes.</p>
<p>At the moment the rate for the basic concession sits at 7.5%.  We are running a survey on the rate that would make a difference in your organisation. </p>
