Marmota Limited ('Marmota' ASX: MEU) is pleased to advise that it has been successful in its application to participate in the Federal Government's Junior Minerals Exploration Incentive (JMEI) program for the new 2022/23 financial year

The Commissioner of Taxation has allocated $951,000 in JMEI tax credits to Marmota for the 2022/2023 financial year.

The JMEI tax credits may be distributed by Marmota to eligible investors as a tax offset. The JMEI tax credits serve to reduce an eligible investor's 2022/2023 tax liability (for individual shareholders or superannuation funds) or as franking credits (for companies).

In the event that there is no tax liability to offset (for individuals and super funds), then the tax credits are issued as a tax refund by the Tax Office. ! The JMEI tax credits attach to new ordinary shares issued by Marmota between 1 July 2022 and 30 June 2023.

More detail: 2022-2023 JMEI

Tax Credits The JMEI program is an initiative of the Australian Federal Government to encourage investment in greenfields exploration companies. Eligible investors must be Australian resident shareholders (irrespective of whether they are individuals, super funds, companies etc) who have applied for and are issued new shares in any Marmota capital raising of ordinary shares between 1 July 2022 and 30 June 2023. The JMEI tax credits will be distributed to eligible investors on a pro-rata basis.

Maximum Benefit

The maximum tax credit that can be issued to an investor is the amount paid by the investor to acquire the newly issued shares x Marmota's Corporate Tax rate (25%). Investors should be aware that Marmota cannot guarantee that Eligible Shareholders will receive the maximum number of JMEI credits available, as the actual number of JMEI Credits received will be dependent on a number of factors including the amount of allowable exploration incurred by Marmota during the 2022/23 year, the amount raised, and other factors.

Marmota has been very fortunate to have been able to participate in previous years that the JMEI program has operated, and the program has proven to be very popular with MEU investors. Marmota would like to express its gratitude to the Australian Federal Government for their on-going support of the junior mineral exploration space.
