The 精东视频 is calling for an urgent national conversation on R&D investment in Australia.
Australia鈥檚 persistent underinvestment in R&D threatens our productivity, limits wage growth, threatens our standard of living, and weakens our ability to respond to global volatility. These threats have consequences for every member of society.
This issues paper makes the case for investment in the underpinnings of an Australian future that is flourishing, fair and secure.
The paper outlines the Academy鈥檚 proposal to incentivise business R&D investment by applying either a 0.25% or 0.5% R&D levy to businesses with annual revenue of $100 million or more that can be discounted if businesses invest in R&D.
The fact sheet (page 10) provides independent economic analysis of the measure and outlines its impact.
*Correction: The issues paper and fact sheet document was amended on 31 July 2025 to reflect that increases to the RDTI expenditure threshold caps were from $100 million to $150 million. A previous version stated this increase was to $200 million.
