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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research and development (R&D) tax credits are widely employed among the OECD countries to promote business sector investments in innovation. The implementation of R&D tax credit schemes, however, varies across countries. The empirical research on the effectiveness of R&D tax incentives suggests that the strength of company responses (in R&D expenditures) to more generous tax incentives substantially differ across countries. We use data from 25 OECD countries, collected from 2010 to 2018, to explore the relationship between a set of R&D tax scheme features and innovation performance. Our estimation results show that the business sector R&D expenditure is higher among those countries that have implemented either an R&D tax credit scheme with an incremental deduction basis or a hybrid scheme with both volume-based and incremental tax relief components. The input additionality is highest when the R&D tax incentives are based on the incremental deduction. Further, the hybrid tax credit scheme positively relates to innovation output. The business sector R&D investment are higher in the countries with an R&D tax credit scheme that provides favorable treatment for SMEs or option to carry forward unclaimed R&D tax credits.

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: Is your company making the most of R&D tax relief incentives? UK R&D tax reliefs are at their highest ever level following the Finance Act 2018 changes. This book provides an up-to-date guide to claiming UK R&D tax reliefs effectively. The government's initiative to encourage innovation and inward investment in research and development gives the incentives new permanence and importance, as the reliefs embrace all types of business irrespective of size. Research and Development Tax Reliefs, Third Edition contains an insightful analysis of these important and complex corporation tax incentives for innovative companies. It provides complete, easy to follow guidance on the legislation, HMRC interpretations and recent tax case law in one convenient place. The author is an expert in the field. As the UK 'Brexit' deepens, many important EU research programmes have received government commitment to their continuity. Many sectors now reach to global marketplaces, and the international context of the UK's R&D relief programme is fully explored. Providing expert guidance on global tax incentive frameworks, and international comparisons, the book provides an insight into the incentive frameworks in which the UK will find itself. Other key updates: - Coverage of the key changes to the Research and Development Tax Code introduced in Finance Act 2018 - Guidance on the latest HMRC interpretations affecting R&D tax reliefs and commentary upon the latest tax case decisions impacting R&D incentives - Up to the minute case studies taken from a broad range of industries and 'live' scenarios - Worked examples of both SME and RDEC reliefs and the special situations affecting these - Check lists of eligible R&D cost sources and HMRC record-keeping requirements - Updated summaries of the new Patent Box and Creative Sector Reliefs - State Aid: Rarely far from the news with the important Apple and Amazon decisions, EU State Aid regulations underline the R&D relief framework. The book provides simplistic guidance on defining the SME and the impact of multi-faceted tax legislation. - Grant and direct funding – the book provides a 2018 'round-up' of funding programmes for innovative businesses and how to access these.

Book excerpt: Despite the growing literature on the effectiveness of research and development (R&D) tax incentives, little is known about the differing design aspects of the underlying tax policies. In this paper, I apply meta-regression analysis (MRA) to separate the distinct provisions through which various tax schemes affect firms' R&D expenditures. Using 192 estimates from 19 studies exploiting the direct approach, the results indicate, on average, greater input additionality effects of hybrid regimes in comparison to volume-based and incremental ones. MetaForest, a novel machine learning algorithm, confirms these results: the moderator for hybrid schemes is the most important variable in explaining the heterogeneity among estimates. Unlike previous MRA, I find only weak evidence for publication bias in this stream of literature. Overall, the relation between tax incentives and R&D expenditures is positive, on average, but the strength varies with methodological variations across studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper surveys the econometric evidence on the effectiveness of fiscal incentives for research and development (R&D). The authors describe the effects of tax systems in OECD countries on the user cost of R&D - the current position, changes over time and across different firms in different countries. The authors describe and criticize the methodologies used to evaluate the effect of the tax system on R&D behaviour and the results from different studies. In the current (imperfect) state of knowledge they conclude that a dollar in tax credit for R&D stimulates a dollar of additional R&D.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a follow up of the November 2006 Communication "Towards a more effective use of tax incentives in favour of R&D" (COM(2006)728), the expert group "R&D tax incentives evaluation" was established to address the need to improve the evaluation of R&D tax incentives, both at individual firm level and on the economy at large, building on identified best practices from the EU and abroad. The key issue examined was the coherence between the methodologies used for evaluating the effectiveness of R&D tax incentives in Europe as to facilitate the comparison of evaluation results and foster mutual policy learning amongst Member States. Findings are summarised in the report "Comparing practices in R&D tax incentives evaluation". In 2009, the tax expert group re-examined the current guidelines on the design and evaluation of R&D tax incentives (first developed in 2005), assessed the impact of tax incentive schemes on R&D investment location, and analysed the relationship between tax incentives schemes and R&D collaboration. The work of the group also examined the role of financing constraints on the ability of firms to undertake R&D investments. A one day workshop with national experts from Member States was held in Brussels in October 2009. This final report of the group comprises a main report and annexed papers covering: the effect of R&D tax incentives on location of R&D investment, tax incentives for industry-science collaboration, financing constraints for industrial innovation, and summaries of R&D tax incentive schemes in EU and non-EU countries. It provides important insights for ongoing policy discussions on best-practice in the design, implementation and evaluation of R&D tax incentive schemes.

Download or read book Rethinking Property Tax Incentives for Business written by Daphne A. Kenyon and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of property tax incentives for business by local governments throughout the United States has escalated over the last 50 years. While there is little evidence that these tax incentives are an effective instrument to promote economic development, they cost state and local governments $5 to $10 billion each year in forgone revenue. Three major obstacles can impede the success of property tax incentives as an economic development tool. First, incentives are unlikely to have a significant impact on a firm's profitability since property taxes are a small part of the total costs for most businesses--averaging much less than 1 percent of total costs for the U.S. manufacturing sector. Second, tax breaks are sometimes given to businesses that would have chosen the same location even without the incentives. When this happens, property tax incentives merely deplete the tax base without promoting economic development. Third, widespread use of incentives within a metropolitan area reduces their effectiveness, because when firms can obtain similar tax breaks in most jurisdictions, incentives are less likely to affect business location decisions. This report reviews five types of property tax incentives and examines their characteristics, costs, and effectiveness: property tax abatement programs; tax increment finance; enterprise zones; firm-specific property tax incentives; and property tax exemptions in connection with issuance of industrial development bonds. Alternatives to tax incentives should be considered by policy makers, such as customized job training, labor market intermediaries, and business support services. State and local governments also can pursue a policy of broad-based taxes with low tax rates or adopt split-rate property taxation with lower taxes on buildings than land.State policy makers are in a good position to increase the effectiveness of property tax incentives since they control how local governments use them. For example, states can restrict the use of incentives to certain geographic areas or certain types of facilities; publish information on the use of property tax incentives; conduct studies on their effectiveness; and reduce destructive local tax competition by not reimbursing local governments for revenue they forgo when they award property tax incentives.Local government officials can make wiser use of property tax incentives for business and avoid such incentives when their costs exceed their benefits. Localities should set clear criteria for the types of projects eligible for incentives; limit tax breaks to mobile facilities that export goods or services out of the region; involve tax administrators and other stakeholders in decisions to grant incentives; cooperate on economic development with other jurisdictions in the area; and be clear from the outset that not all businesses that ask for an incentive will receive one.Despite a generally poor record in promoting economic development, property tax incentives continue to be used. The goal is laudable: attracting new businesses to a jurisdiction can increase income or employment, expand the tax base, and revitalize distressed urban areas. In a best case scenario, attracting a large facility can increase worker productivity and draw related firms to the area, creating a positive feedback loop. This report offers recommendations to improve the odds of achieving these economic development goals.

Download or read book Evaluating the Effectiveness of State R D Tax Credits written by Y. Ho and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 376 pages. 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.

Book excerpt: Abstract: Investment in research and experimental development (R&D) is an important driver of innovation and economic growth. Over the past two decades, tax incentives have become a key policy instrument for promoting business R&D. This raises a number of policy questions: How has the role of tax incentives in the R&D support policy mix evolved across OECD countries and other major economies? How generous are tax relief provisions for different types of firms? How effective are they in stimulating business R&D investment? The OECD R&D Tax Incentives Database (http://oe.cd/rdtax) aims to contribute to the data infrastructure available to policy makers and researchers to examine the use and impact of R&D tax incentives across OECD countries and partner economies. This paper provides a practical guide to using this new database, describing the recently released R&D tax incentive data and highlighting their potential for internationally comparative work through descriptive indicators and econometric analysis

Download or read book Do Tax Incentives for Research Increase Firm Innovation written by Antoine Dechezleprêtre and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present evidence of a causal impact of research and development (R & D) tax incentives on innovation. We exploit a change in the asset-based size thresholds for eligibility for R & D tax subsidies and implement a Regression Discontinuity Design using administrative tax data on the population of UK firms. There are statistically and economically significant effects of the tax change on both R & D and patenting (even when quality-adjusted). R & D tax price elasticities are large at about 2.6, probably because the treated group is from a sub-population of smaller firms and subject to financial constraints. There does not appear to be pre-policy manipulation of assets around the thresholds that could undermine our design. Over the 2006-11 period aggregate business R & D would be around 10% lower in the absence of the tax relief scheme. We also show that the R & D generated by the tax policy creates positive spillovers on the innovations of techno-logically related firms.
