In this special episode of Game Wise, Jens sits down with Peter Xi, Partner at RSM specialising in R&D Tax and Government Incentives, and Roisin Arkwright, National Tax Technical Director at RSM, to unpack what the latest Federal Budget means for Australian game studios. Together, they explore the proposed changes to the R&D Tax Incentive, including the shift toward “high-intensity” R&D, the removal of supporting activities, and what studios should start doing now to prepare for the changes expected from 2028 onwards.
The discussion also dives into the broader investment landscape, including the proposed capital gains tax reforms and what they could mean for founders, investors, and early-stage studios seeking funding. Along the way, the episode offers practical guidance on documentation, structuring, compliance, runway management, and how studios can make the most of existing incentives and tax concessions.
