R&D TAX INCENTIVE
Accessed by over 11,000 Australian companies
The Australian Research and Development (R&D) Tax Incentive is a government initiative designed to encourage companies to engage in R&D activities that will benefit Australia. This program provides tax offsets for eligible R&D activities, making it easier for businesses to innovate and grow. The incentive aims to boost competitiveness and improve productivity across the economy by helping businesses offset some of the costs associated with their R&D efforts.

Meet Our Team

Shan Stevens – Director
Through his 20 years of experience working with small and medium-sized enterprises, Shan has gained extensive insight into an array of roadblocks that tend to confront businesses today.
He found that the biggest roadblocks often centre around a disruption of cashflow, or a lack of education regarding assistance that is available in terms of government grants and Tax Offsets.
This is what motivated Shan to enter this space.
Seeing too many hard-working, self-sacrificing, innovative people fall into financial ruin or growth stagnation in their businesses, when there was help out there all along.
Shan has an unyielding passion for helping others succeed in their business, allowing them to build a better future for themselves, their families, and the Australian economy.
He aims to do this by simplifying the process of grant application for business owners.
Shan and his team remove the confusion and anxiety from the process, by interpreting the government regulations and requirements, and working closely with clients to ensure ease and clarity throughout.
The team’s knowledge and experience in the industry greatly reduces the time business owners have to spend on these processes, allowing them the peace of mind and freedom to do what they do best… running their business.
Ozone Grants proudly operate with a strong focus on the human side of conducting business… building and maintaining relationships based on mutual trust and professional integrity.
