For R&D tax advisors
Registration deadline was April 30. How much of your evidence was reconstructed?
Every year, the same cycle. Documentation chased that should have been captured months ago. Records reconstructed from emails, spreadsheets, and half-remembered conversations. The Denholm Review just recommended quarterly RDTI payments — which means the annual scramble is about to become four scrambles a year.
Compliance infrastructure for R&D claims that defend on review.
The state of play
The R&D claim process wasn't built for what's coming.
12,956 claims in FY22–23. Most evidence was reconstructed.
$16.2B in R&D expenditure was claimed in FY22–23 — but the vast majority of evidence was assembled after the fact, retrofitted from emails, project files, and memory. 86% of claimants rely on external consultants, and those consultants spend the bulk of their time rebuilding what should have already existed.
Fewer than half of eligible businesses even claim.
The compliance burden is so high that most eligible companies never start. The ones that do often under-claim — because the documentation wasn't structured to capture everything. The Denholm Review called this out explicitly.
Quarterly RDTI payments will make reconstruction impossible.
The Ambitious Australia review — chaired by Robyn Denholm, Tesla Chair — recommends quarterly BAS-linked advance payments. Annual retrospective evidence gathering becomes structurally impossible. Advisors will need real-time, contemporaneous evidence capture — or they won't be able to lodge.

The opportunity
claimed in R&D expenditure in FY22–23 — the vast majority reconstructed after the fact.
When quarterly payments arrive, that approach stops working. The infrastructure has to change.
What's changing
The Denholm Review changes everything.
Quarterly payments
BAS-linked advance payments — cash back every quarter, not every 12–24 months. Evidence will need to be captured within the quarter, not reconstructed at year-end.
$20M → $50M
The refundable offset turnover threshold could rise to $50M — bringing thousands more scaling businesses into the cash-refund regime. More eligible clients. More claims. More evidence to manage.
May 12 budget
The first formal government response. Whatever happens, the direction is clear: more complexity, more compliance, more need for structured evidence capture.
