Our Story

Simplifying the R&D Journey for Australian Businesses

In 2020, Josh Lumley, a seasoned R&D Manager and CFO with over 12 years of hands-on experience, founded prmpt. with a bold vision: to transform how Australian businesses approach the R&D Tax Incentive. Having witnessed the struggles many founders, directors, R&D Managers, CFOs, and CEOs faced when navigating R&D compliance, documentation, and expenditure apportionment, Josh knew there had to be a better way.

For years, the R&D Tax Incentive carried a stigma of complexity – a daunting, year-end task that consumed weeks of valuable time and resources. Josh believed this process didn’t have to be so cumbersome. His goal was to break that stigma by creating a system that simplified the process, enabling businesses to focus on their innovation without being bogged down by administrative hurdles.

Josh’s expertise was born out of firsthand experience in Research & Development, spanning industries from eCommerce and software to large-scale technology products and prototypes, particularly in the transport industry. During his tenure, he not only navigated the challenges of managing R&D internally but also worked alongside some of Australia’s largest R&D consulting firms. Through these experiences, he gained invaluable insights into best practices for structuring R&D applications, ensuring compliance, and accurately representing companies’ investments in innovation.

In June 2020, Josh decided to turn his vision into reality. Drawing on his extensive knowledge and industry experience, he launched prmpt, hitting the ground running. The company quickly onboarded a diverse range of clients, empowering them to access the R&D Tax Incentive with confidence and clarity. Many of those early clients remain with prmpt. today, a testament to the trust and value the company delivers.

As prmpt. grew, so did its commitment to innovation. Recognising the need for a more proactive approach, the company introduced a monthly R&D consulting model, eliminating the year-end scramble and creating a seamless, ongoing process for clients. This model allowed businesses to capture their R&D activities in real-time, ensuring compliance, maximising claims, and saving countless hours for their teams.

To support this innovative approach, prmpt. began hiring experienced R&D consultants from a variety of industries and sectors. This diverse team brought new perspectives and expertise, enabling the company to provide tailored solutions to clients across Australia.

Today, prmpt. continues to build on its mission of simplifying the R&D process. With cutting-edge systems, client-focused processes, and a relentless drive to deliver tangible financial results, prmpt. has become a trusted partner for businesses looking to turn their ideas into commercial success.

The story of prmpt. is one of passion, innovation, and a commitment to excellence, values that continue to guide the company as it helps Australian businesses unlock their full potential.

Your questions answered

The Research & Development (R&D) Tax Incentive is Australia’s single largest government incentive. Australian companies creating new and novel products or services can utilise R&D to claim back a proportion of their eligible expenditure as a cash refund or tax offset, including costs associated with R&D applications and efforts to secure R and D grants in Australia.

With a comprehensive strategy and the correct execution, the R&D Tax Incentive can provide cash flow and support to grow innovation within your company.

Hypothetical Example <$20 million annual turnover

If your annual turnover is less than $20 million, you’re eligible to claim 43.5% on R&D expenditure as a cash refund.

  • Your company turnover is $3,000,000
  • You have $1,000,000 in eligible R&D expenditure
  • Therefore you will receive a refundable tax offset of $435,000 ($1,000,000*43.5%)

Hypothetical Example >$20 million annual turnover

If your annual turnover is greater than $20 million, you’re eligible to claim 38.5% on R&D expenditure as a tax offset.

  • Your company turnover is $22,000,000
  • You have $4,000,000 in eligible R&D expenditure
  • Therefore you will receive a non-refundable tax offset of $1,540,000 ($4,000,000*38.5%)

See our R&D Calculator

Our R&D Tax Refund Calculator helps you estimate your potential R&D tax refund based on your company’s turnover and R&D expenditure, including costs related to R&D applications and R and D grants Australia. It provides a clearer picture of what financial benefits you might expect.

Not every business qualifies. Eligibility is determined by various factors, including the nature of your operations and the kind of research and innovation you’re undertaking. To easily check if you qualify, you can use our Eligibility Test.

Take our R&D Eligibility Test

  • R&D consultants can use their existing knowledge to effectively execute your R&D claim promptly
  • Lodge your claim with confidence that the activities meet the eligibility criteria and the proper due diligence has been performed
  • We have several years of experience in R&D across several industry sectors
  • Avoid distracting your internal team from their core work by having a team of experienced R&D consultants working on your claim in the background
  • De-risk losing company Intellectual Property (IP) that often sits with one employee and leaves the company when they do
  • Use our expert knowledge and advice to maximise your R&D benefit and achieve the highest level of compliance

It varies depending on your business needs. However, with prmpt., we typically engage in regular consultations, either fortnightly or monthly, to ensure a smooth process and that no R&D opportunity is missed.

Whilst R&D is a self-assessed program, it is not guaranteed from an audit/review by AusIndustry. Our job is to ensure your R&D application is eligible, that all costs are captured/maximised and that you have the supporting documentation to substantiate your claim.

Absolutely! Our consultants are always on the lookout for new grants suitable for your company. As these become available, we offer advice, application assistance, and management services in addition to R&D consulting.

Depending on how quickly we can obtain all the required information from yourself and your team, an R&D application can be processed by us in 2-3 weeks. Then allow for an additional 1-2 weeks for the R&D refund/offset to be issued by the ATO.

As every client and their business is different in terms of size, requirements and work involved, our proposals are tailored to each client’s individual needs. Depending on if it is just an R&D application, government grant or both we can discuss fees for our services and a model that best suits your business.

Feel free to contact us for a quote.

  • We spend a considerable amount of time ensuring your R&D activities are compliant in relation to the latest guidance and tax legislation.
  • We educate your team by creating an R&D sensitive team culture, ensuring nothing is missed throughout the year, especially concerning R&D application and R and D grants.
  • We engage with you on a regular basis and complete the required work throughout the year as opposed to the traditional once a year catch up that is becoming more heavily scrutinised by the governing bodies. As soon as lodgement dates open we can submit your application to ensure a prompt submission of your tax refund/offset.
  • We maintain the highest level of compliance for your R&D.

Sure!

  1. Ensure you regularly record all R&D activities, develop supporting documentation and have a system for managing throughout the financial year. Don’t leave it to the last minute!
  2. Get scientific! Ensure you develop a strong hypothesis and make it clear what you are aiming to achieve in your experiments using specifics.
  3. Prove yourself! Research that the product, method or development you are creating does not already exist in the market and if it does explain why or how yours is different and developing new knowledge.
  4. When it comes to government grants ensure you answer the question and follow the assessment criteria to the tee. Be concise, do not write emotional responses and only include information about the company/project that is relevant to the grant you are applying for. Having an outsider review your work with an unbiased, non-emotional perspective can increase your chances of success tenfold.

If you have completed a grant application and simply need a review and honest feedback, we can also offer this service. Speak with one of our consultants to learn more.

We love working with entrepreneurs, inventors, CEOs, CFOs and R&D managers who are passionate about their R&D project. Your success is our success, and we’ll always endeavour to achieve the best outcomes for our clients in an efficient manner, hence why we call ourselves prmpt, especially when it comes to R&D applications and securing R and D grants Australia.
