Claim up to 43.5% of your R&D spend back as cash
Prime Partners are Chartered Accountants who prepare, lodge and defend your R&D Tax Incentive claim – for a fixed fee, never a percentage of your refund.
Why claim your R&D Tax Incentive with Prime Partners
Most R&D “specialists” take a slice of your refund and never see the rest of your tax. We’re the accountant who does both.
Fixed fee, not a % cut
You keep 100% of your refund. Our fee is agreed up front – no success fees, no surprises at the end.
Prepared by Chartered Accountants
Your claim is built and lodged by qualified CAs, not a lead-gen shop – and it’s documented to hold up if the ATO reviews it.
Integrated with your tax
The claim reconciles with the company tax return we lodge, so the numbers line up and nothing falls through the cracks.
SME & startup specialists
From first-time claimants to scaling companies – software, manufacturing, engineering, agriculture, biotech and more.

Quick questions
Companies with turnover under $20 million can receive a refundable offset of up to 43.5% of eligible R&D expenditure. For example, $100,000 of eligible spend can return up to $43,500.
No. The offset is refundable for companies under $20M turnover, so loss-making and pre-revenue companies can receive it as a cash refund.
A fixed fee agreed with you before we start – never a percentage of your refund. You’ll know exactly what it costs up front.
R&D activities must be registered with AusIndustry within 10 months of your financial year-end – 30 April for a 30 June year-end. It’s best to start well before then.
