• Do you export or plan to export Australian goods and services?
• Have you spent and expensed more than $15,000 in export marketing for your business? 
• Do you have a turnover of less than $30 Million?

The Export Market Development Grant (EMDG) scheme is provided through the Australian Trade Commission (AUSTRADE), as part of Commonwealth government initiatives on trade. The scheme allows for subsidy of Export Marketing Expenses. The subsidy is 50% of the export marketing expenses incurred by a company.  There is a $15,000 threshold, above which expenses are subsidized.

A maximum grant of $150,000 p.a. is available for eligible exports of goods and services. The grant is available for 7 years, amounting to a total possible subsidy of up to $1,050,000. Strict conditions apply to claiming the grant. There must be supporting documentation for all expenses and payment must be made in the grant year.  All expenses must have been accounted for in the period.

VEBIZ advises companies on how to structure their business and how to maximise the outcomes of the leveraged EMDG,  ensuring  the grants are maximised and  gaining the most marketing impact for the expenditure incurred. Not all companies meet the conditions for receiving export market development grants. We can assist you in determining eligibility.
