As businesses and organizations invest in research and development to stay competitive in their industries, keeping track of supporting documentation becomes crucial. Proper documentation is a must to demonstrate that eligible activities were performed and eligible expenditures were incurred in relation to submitted Research and Development Tax Incentive (RDTI) activities and that all other legislative requirements under the program were met. Keeping track of the required documentation can be a tedious and time-consuming process, but it is essential for any business or organization to maximize its returns.

The best supporting documentation is created during the development process. Documentation comes in a wide range of formats and content, including general documents like business case documents, competitor research, literature reviews, and market research. Technical meeting notes, development contract agreements, presentations to board members, and contractor invoices are also valuable forms of documentation.
