BLUEROCK CAN HELP WITH NZ'S 3 KEY R&D FUNDS


  • R&D Campaign Feature 1

    R&D Tax Incentive (RDTI)

    A cash incentive to lower your R&D costs. The paperwork and process might seem daunting, but we'll cut the complexity and uncertainty to get the funding you’re entitled to.

  • R&D Campaign Feature 2

    R&D Loss Tax Credit (Cash-Out)

    Combine this program with the RDTI to “cash-out” tax losses and get credits up to 43% of your R&D costs. With careful consideration of tax law, you can tap into NZ’s best-kept R&D funding secret to boost your cashflow.

  • R&D Campaign Feature 3

    New to R&D Grant

    A fantastic opportunity for early innovators, with co-funding and capability development. Call us first, for independent advice to put your best foot forward.

NZ RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TAX INCENTIVE


Should I apply for the R&D Tax Incentive ?

Are you investing in innovation? Whether it’s new products, software, manufacturing, medical trials or more, your R&D projects could attract tax credits or cash refunds up to 15% of project costs.

But how do you ensure you’re getting your full entitlement? The rules are challenging and the approvals process daunting. BlueRock cuts through the complexity to expertly prepare your applications and claims.

R&D LOSS TAX CREDIT (CASH-OUT)


What’s the Cash-Out Credit?

If your business makes a loss this year from R&D investment, you can also cash out up to 28% of your R&D expenses. A wider range of R&D activities may qualify for this program. With careful consideration of tax law, you can combine this with the 15% tax incentive to gain a 43% discount on your R&D costs, boosting your cashflow and massively reducing the true cost of innovation.

NEW TO R&D GRANT


Can I get the New to R&D Grant ?

Just starting your R&D journey? This valuable grant provides up to $400,000 to co-fund 20% of your R&D costs and build your R&D capabilities. Funds are limited, so it’s first-come, first-served. Tread carefully, because you could be deemed ineligible at the first step, without even the chance to apply. We give you the independent, confidential guidance you need to put your best foot forward.
