EMDG OVERVIEW
Overview
The Export Market Development Grant ( EMDG) is a Government program that provides organisations with substantial cash rebates for overseas marketing expenditure. The scheme is administered by Austrade and is designed as an incentive to encourage Australian exporters to develop overseas markets for their goods and/or services.
EMDG provides reimbursement of approximately 50% of the eligible expenditure incurred to a maximum of $150,000 per annum. Applicants must be Australian resident entities with a total annual turnover of less than A$50 million and must have spent at least $15,000 in overseas marketing.
Unlike other Government grants EMDG is a non-competitive program which means if you are eligible and make an application you will receive a grant.
Eligible expenditure includes:
Overseas Representatives
Marketing Consultants
Overseas Marketing Visits (Travel)
Product Promotion (Free Samples)
Trade Fairs
Promotional Literature & Advertising Material
Patents and Trade Marks
Overseas Buyers Visiting Australia
How much money will we get back?
You will get back 50% of eligible expenditure in excess of $5,000. For example if your eligible expenditure was $75,000 then your rebate would be $35,000 calculated as follows:
Rebate = ($75,000 – $5,000) x 50% = $35,000
