About rdtax.au
Specialist R&D Tax Incentive advisors helping Australian innovation-driven companies
Why We Focus on the R&D Tax Incentive
A long time ago when we started and launched our very own first businesses we knew relatively little about law, taxation, or even R&D. We were just young, aspiring business entrepreneurs who were going to top the world in our individual pursuits! We propelled ourselves into the serious matter of competing in business, and in doing so unknowingly built up tax burdens which in some cases caused our businesses financial distress.
We know better now - so in recent years a few of us decided we would help other Australian businesses with our skills and knowledge so that your business gets the direct benefit.
The R&D Tax credit is available to some Australian entities, and for those companies that utilise this amazing resource, it can literally be the difference between surviving a bad year or going into receivership.
We are doing this for YOU - our goal is to make you successful as this will make Australians better off in both a local and global context.
Our Approach to RDTI Consulting
As experienced R&D Tax Incentive advisors we know this is NOT about us!
Just like your legal, financial and other advisors we know when we can and cannot help. In fact, we make it a habit to not engage in any work that we do not add significant value in.
The R&D Tax Incentive setup and claiming process is complex and can be daunting. We help take the pain out of it by assisting you and your team in all the detail that is needed to complete a successful claim.
We will work with your entire team to make a successful and coherent R&D tax claim - you, your finance team, your advisors, your staff, subcontractors and, most importantly, your innovators!
Further, if we believe that your needs are better served by another service, we will say so up front! There is no value in us wasting either your or our time.
Meet the Founder
Hosi Stankovic — Founder & Principal Consultant
Before advising on the R&D Tax Incentive, Hosi was on the other side of the table.
As a founder and operator of Australian technology businesses, he navigated the RDTI process firsthand, learning through experience what the ATO looks for, where claims fall apart, and what documentation actually survives review.
That experience, combined with over half a decade of specialist RDTI advisory work, is the foundation of rdtax.au. The practice exists for one reason: to help Australian companies make defensible claims and get the cash back they are entitled to.
Hosi works exclusively on the R&D Tax Incentive. No general accounting. No add-on services. No conflicts of interest.
