The cash payment is provided in respect of expenditure incurred on eligible R&D activities conducted in the European Union in the 2022 calendar year. Immutep also qualifies for cash rebates from the Australian Federal Government’s R&D tax incentive program in respect of expenditure incurred on eligible R&D activities conducted in Australia.
