R&D Tax Incentive Guide for Australian Real Estate Businesses

Why R&D Matters in Real Estate

Real estate is undergoing major digital transformation — automation, data modelling, AI, tenant-matching systems, dynamic pricing, and workflow tools. Any technological development where outcomes aren't guaranteed may qualify as R&D.

How the R&D Incentive Applies

Real estate businesses often run eligible activities when improving:

Tenant matching systems

Rent pricing algorithms

Vacancy minimisation technologies

Predictive maintenance scheduling

AI property description tools

Digital inspection systems

Market forecasting models

If your agency is building or trialling technology that doesn't already exist in the way you need it, the work may be considered experimental R&D.

Typical Eligible Work in Real Estate
