Apply for an Overseas Finding from the R&D Tax Incentive

A positive Overseas Finding gives you assurance that your registered R&D activities will be eligible for claiming under the R&D Tax incentive.
If you don't have a positive Overseas Finding, you can't claim overseas expenditure as part of your R&D Tax offset.
You must submit your application for an Overseas Finding before the end of the income year in which you conduct, or plan to conduct, the activity. We cannot accept late applications or grant extensions of time to apply for a finding under any circumstances.
