Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1981 Congress enacted the research and experimentation (R & E) tax credit, as a means to encourage firms to conduct additional research and development. Congress has never made the R & E tax credit a permanent feature of the tax code; instead, it has extended and modified the policy on numerous occasions, twice after allowing it to expire. The credit once again expired in June 1995, putting Congress back in the position of deciding whether to extend the credit and, if so, for how long and with what terms. In principle, the R & E tax credit addresses an important public policy goal: stimulating private sector R & D spending, and thereby encouraging advancements in scientific and technological knowledge. As economists have long noted, R & D spending is prone to market failure due to the frequently high returns to society from R & D and the associated difficulty firms often face in appropriating the benefits of their research. Many analysts agree that the R & E tax credit is, in principle, a sensible policy instrument for encouraging the private sector to supply a more socially optimal level of R & D investment. In practice, however, the R & E tax credit often has been criticized for being indefinite in duration and unwieldy in form, for excluding certain types of R & D-performing firms, and for possibly subsidizing reseaith that would take place regardless of the credit. Existing studies of the R & E tax credit are informative in many respects but, as this report demonstrates, are dated, less than comprehensive, or otherwise unsatisfactory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1981, Congress created the research tax credit to encourage business to do more research. Since its enactment on a temporary basis in 1981, the credit has been extended six times and modified four times. This report evaluates several recent studies of the effectiveness of the research tax credit to determine whether the studies provide adequate evidence to conclude that each dollar taken of the tax credit stimulates at least $1.00 of research spending in the short run, and about $2.00 of research spending in the long run.
Download or read book Practical Guide to Research and Development Tax Incentives written by Michael D. Rashkin and published by CCH. This book was released on 2007 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CCH's Practical Guide to Research and Development Tax Incentives--Federal, State, and Foreign by Michael Rashkin, J.D., LL.M., provides something that has been missing in professional tax literature--authoritative, comprehensive coverage of this complex and evolving topic. This newly expanded resource is practical, easy to follow, easy to understand, and is particularly effective at clarifying and demystifying this complex subject. It provides well-written, detailed guidance on claiming the federal credit for increasing research activities and the deduction for R & D expenditures. In doing so, it explains the elements of qualified research, exclusions, computational rules, and basic research payment credits. Historically, the IRS has been vigilant in denying R & D credits. This resource explains how to satisfy the IRS's requirements, document the credit, and defend against IRS challenges. It also examines research incentives offered by individual states and describes the R & D incentives available in the major economies of the world, offering helpful charts that show the key differences among the various countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With growing academic and policy interest in research and development (R&D) tax incentives, the question about their effectiveness has become ever more relevant. In the absence of an exogenous policy reform, the simultaneous determination of companies’ tax positions and their R&D spending causes an identification problem in evaluating tax incentives. To overcome this identification challenge, we exploit a U.K. policy reform and use the population of corporation tax records that provide precise information on the amount of firm-level R&D expenditure. Using difference-in-differences and other panel regression approaches, we find a positive and significant impact of tax incentives on R&D spending, and an implied user cost elasticity estimate of around -1.6. This translates to more than a pound in additional private R&D for each pound foregone in corporation tax revenue.

Book excerpt: The research tax credit is designed to boost business investment in what might be described as basic or applied research by reducing the after-tax cost of that research above a base amount. Although many analysts and lawmakers support the use of a tax incentive to generate increased business R&D investment, the same cannot be said of the current credit, whose effectiveness has been widely criticised. Critics contend the credit is not as effective as it could be because of certain flaws in its design, such as a lack of permanence and uneven and inadequate incentive effects. This book describes the current status of the tax credit, and summarises its legislative history. Key policy issues are examined as is the legislation in the 111th Congress to modify or extend this tax credit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper aims to analyze the effectiveness of state research and development (R & D) tax credit programs in the context of R & D-relevant policies and regional economic development policies. Although there were extensive theoretical recommendations for promoting private R & D, and state R & D tax credit programs have been one of the most popular regional economic development programs, only few evaluations of state R & D tax credit programs have been conducted. Inspired by this lack of previous study, this study provides an empirical finding for the effectiveness of these programs by applying a quasi-experimental approach, which means conducting experiments without randomness, for comparing states with tax credits and states without credits. For dealing with the embedded non-randomness, plausible other explanations that weaken the causal relationship between the programs and the effects were examined and ruled out as much as possible. Rival hypotheses were selected using different tax and government policies, overall business and R & D-specific environments, and firm characteristics. They were eliminated by constructing valid control groups, using the difference-in-differences and matching methods, selecting covariates and matching variables as observable variables, and absorbing year-specific fixed effects and cross-sectional-fixed effects as unobservable variables. The decision was made based on multiple estimates and multiple datasets. The research analyzed two sets of industries: the all industry group and high-technology industy. The major findings are: 1) state R & D tax credits positively affect the increase in R & D spending and increase in employment; 2) positive effects on R & D spending are widespread across the all industry group while positive effects on employment are limited to high-technology industry overall; 3) positive effects on R & D spending are also spread out to different sized firms in both the all industry group and high-technology industry; and 4) positive effects on employment are found mainly in large firms in both the all industry group and high-technology industry. These findings support the utilization of state R & D tax credits. As an indirect intervention, state R & D tax credit programs can increase productivity and encourage innovation by generating additional private R & D activities. State R & D tax credit programs can also make a positive contribution to regional economic growth through the growth of R & D-relevant and high-technology industries.
