Statute overview

About this statute

This part lets companies apply for R&D status or pioneer status, and gives the Minister powers to approve, extend, define, or withdraw status subject to stated conditions. The Minister may grant pioneer status on application, and companies that receive it must later apply for a pioneer certificate within the stated time. Companies must keep certain tax records and exempt-account records, and the Director General may reassess or direct adjustments if an exemption should not have applied. The provision also lets eligible companies apply for investment tax allowance approval, subject to the stated conditions. The provision sets deadlines and conditions for companies to request, support, and comply with investment tax allowance approvals, and gives the Minister powers to grant retroactive effect, change terms, or withdraw approvals. This provision sets several investment tax allowance rules, time limits, exemptions, record-keeping duties, inspection powers, and penalties for obstruction.
