Andromeda receives R&D tax refund of $2.34 million
Andromeda Metals Limited (ASX: ADN) (Andromeda, the Company) is pleased to announce that it
has received a Research and Development (R&D) Tax Incentive refund of $2.34 million, following
lodgement of the Company’s tax return for the 2024 financial year.
The Company’s tax return for the 2024 financial year included $5.4 million in eligible R&D
expenditure, which has resulted in a cash rebate of $2.34 million being received by the Company.
This follows the awarding of an Advance and Overseas Finding Certificate (Advance Finding) to
the Company by the Australian Government’s AusIndustry, for expenditure on activities related to
the scaling up of product and process development under Stage 1A+ of the Great White Project 1.
The Advance Finding confirms Andromeda is able to claim refundable tax offsets2, or cash rebates,
at the rate of 43.5% of costs incurred on eligible expenditure over a three-year period3. Under Stage
1A+ these eligible expenditures are expected to total approximately $26 million.
The Advance Finding is binding on the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) for the financial year 2024
and the two following financial years.
Sarah Clarke, Andromeda’s Acting CEO said: “Andromeda is pleased to receive this refund from
the ongoing R&D tax incentive program, which is a valued contribution by the Australian
Government to support innovation by industry.
“Receiving close to half of the eligible expenditure spent is a great outcome for Andromeda and
its shareholders, and supports the Company’s funding process, which is currently underway.”
This announcement has been approved for release by the Board of Andromeda Metals Limited.
