Speaking of free money, have you any idea of how many companies are fraudulently exploiting PIC credits? It's disgusting to see my tax monies squandered on these pointless initiatives.
These sorts of schemes are a godsend for companies. When we running a manufacturing plant in Singapore in the late 80s, I took advantage of all the grants available.. training grant, R & D grant, expansion grant etc. You name it we applied for it and we managed to get more than $300,000 in taxpayer funded grants in less than 18 months.
