The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) released guides on claiming the Critical Minerals Production Tax Incentive (CMPTI) and Hydrogen Production Tax Incentive (HPTI) tax offsets.
The CMPTI provides eligible companies with a refundable tax offset of 10% of the eligible costs of processing certain critical minerals in Australia, whereas the HPTI is a refundable tax offset of $2 per kilogram of eligible hydrogen produced by eligible companies.
