Manufacturing

The manufacturing sector is more intricate than other industry sectors. For example, undertaking trials on production or pilot plant adds complexity to R&D tax incentive claims that can cause problems if not properly accounted for. MJA has over 40 years working across all manufacturing sectors and we have tried and tested processes to ensure you are claiming the true cost of doing R&D in your business.

Our expert team guides manufacturing companies of all sizes through the R&D Tax Incentive process, streamlining operations, ensuring compliance and maximising your claim value. Our clients operate in all states and territories of Australia.

ESIC offsets are tax incentives designed to encourage investment in Early Stage Innovation Companies (ESICs). MJA’s ESIC consulting services are specifically designed to help potential Early Stage Innovation Companies determine whether they are able to meet the initial requirements and guide them through either the 100-point innovation test or the principles-based test, lodging a Private Ruling Application on your behalf.

Having a Private Ruling on the eligibility of your company as an ESIC gives certainty to your investors that they can access the favourable tax treatment on both acquisition and subsequent sale of complying shares in your startup manufacturing company.

The Federal and State governments have grant programs of various sizes and complexity to assist companies undertake R&D and to commercialise new products and processes.

MJA has decades of experience in producing high quality submissions for these grant programs with unparalleled success rates.
