The R&D Tax Incentive is not just for tech companies. Any Australian business conducting eligible R&D activities can claim a tax offset of up to 48.5% on qualifying expenditure. ExaRDTI’s platform adapts to your industry, integrating with the tools you use and generating documentation specific to your type of R&D work.
RDTI for Software Companies
Software development frequently involves eligible R&D activities — building new algorithms, developing novel architectures, solving technical uncertainties in scalability, security, or performance. ExaRDTI is purpose-built for software teams.
ExaRDTI connects directly to Jira, Azure DevOps, GitHub, and other systems your engineering team already uses. Sprints, epics, stories, commits, and pull requests are automatically imported and analysed to identify which development work qualifies as eligible R&D under the four-part test.

Manufacturing businesses conducting R&D into new products, improved production processes, or innovative materials are frequently eligible for significant RDTI claims. ExaRDTI helps manufacturers document and substantiate their R&D activities efficiently.
Capturing Manufacturing R&D
Manufacturing R&D often spans process improvements and automation, new product design and prototyping, materials testing and characterisation, quality control methodology development, tooling and equipment innovation, and environmental and waste reduction initiatives. ExaRDTI works with your existing project management and accounting systems to capture these activities and the associated expenditure.

Biotech and life sciences companies are among the most significant beneficiaries of the R&D Tax Incentive. Drug development, clinical trials, medical device innovation, and diagnostic platform development typically involve extensive eligible R&D activities.
Supporting Complex Claims
Life sciences R&D is often complex, spanning multiple financial years and involving substantial expenditure. ExaRDTI manages this complexity by tracking activities and costs across projects and periods. You work with your RDTI specialist and the AI platform to build documentation that clearly articulates the scientific hypotheses, experimental methodologies, and outcomes for each activity.

Engineering companies developing new structural approaches, computational methods, materials applications, or systems designs frequently conduct eligible R&D. ExaRDTI helps engineering businesses document these activities and claim the tax offset they are entitled to.
Engineering R&D Activities
Common eligible activities include structural engineering innovation, new computational and simulation methods, materials science and application development, environmental and civil engineering advances, mechanical and electrical system design, and energy efficiency improvements. ExaRDTI captures project data and helps draft technical narratives that aim to demonstrate how each activity meets the four-part eligibility test.
