Developing neuroprotective peptide ARG-007 for stroke, traumatic brain injury, and hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy
No capital raise or buyback data
Australian biotechs with < $20M aggregated turnover can claim a 43.5% refundable tax offseton eligible R&D expenditure each financial year (Jul–Jun). This is paid as a cash refund by the ATO — not a tax deduction — making it non-dilutive capital that directly extends cash runway.
Companies register eligible R&D activities with AusIndustry during the year, then lodge their tax return after 30 June. Refunds typically arrive October–Decemberof the same calendar year. For a company spending $5M/year on R&D, this is a ~$2.2M annual cash inflow.
