Litigation and enforcement

AAT rejected Havilah R&D tax-offset claims for earlier project work

Income years 2012/13–2013/14; decision 16 April 2020 · documented · medium materiality

In 2020 the AAT affirmed decisions that Havilah’s claimed activities for 2012/13 and 2013/14 were not eligible core or supporting R&D activities; routine mineral exploration and statutory compliance exclusions applied. The reasons record that Dr Giles supplied written and oral evidence and oversaw R&D work. This is a company tax-incentive dispute, not a finding of fraud or misconduct. An open-web search through the cutoff did not locate a later appeal judgment; finality beyond the AAT decision is therefore not established here.

Attribution: Individual involvement documented. The AAT reasons directly identify Dr Giles’s evidence and oversight responsibility; they do not find misconduct by him.

Relevance: Relevant to technical governance, documentation and the boundary between exploration activity and tax-incentive claims.
