‑1 What this Division is about
Companies may be entitled to a refundable tax offset for expenditure incurred in carrying on processing activities at facilities in Australia that substantially transform feedstock containing critical minerals into purer or more refined forms of the critical minerals that are chemically distinct from the feedstock. This offset is designed to support the growth of these processing activities in Australia. One of the requirements for entitlement to the tax offset is for a company to hold a registration certificate for these processing activities and for the Australian facilities where the activities are to be carried on. The Industry Secretary will decide whether to issue the certificates. A registration can be in force for 10 income years during the period starting on 1 July 2027 and ending on 30 June 2040. The amount of the tax offset is 10% of the company’s expenditure on these processing activities.
