Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With the growth of the Asia-Pacific region as a whole, and the potential shift from Hong Kong, regimes in the Asia-Pacific have offered tax incentives to encourage new investment. Two such tax incentives are concessions offered to attract offshore banking units (OBUs) and regional headquarters. The regimes in Australia, Singapore and Malaysia have offered incentives through the tax system in both of these areas. This paper identifies the threshold requirements and key elements in the [sic] each of the concessions offered in each country. Comparison is then drawn between the measures enacted in the three regimes to attract international business."--p. 1.

Download or read book Rethinking Investment Incentives written by Ana Teresa Tavares-Lehmann and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-12 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments often use direct subsidies or tax credits to encourage investment and promote economic growth and other development objectives. Properly designed and implemented, these incentives can advance a wide range of policy objectives (increasing employment, promoting sustainability, and reducing inequality). Yet since design and implementation are complicated, incentives have been associated with rent-seeking and wasteful public spending. This collection illustrates the different types and uses of these initiatives worldwide and examines the institutional steps that extend their value. By combining economic analysis with development impacts, regulatory issues, and policy options, these essays show not only how to increase the mobility of capital so that cities, states, nations, and regions can better attract, direct, and retain investments but also how to craft policy and compromise to ensure incentives endure.
Download or read book Taxing Investments in the Asia Pacific Region written by Katharina Nicolay and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article investigates the taxation of investments in the Asia-Pacific region. The authors' analysis is based on the methodology of Devereux and Griffith (1999 and 2003) for determining effective average tax rates. This approach allows the authors to account for important domestic and international tax regulations. The results presented in this article show that for the tax law of 2014, the overall dispersion of effective tax burdens in the Asia-Pacific region ranges from 10.6% in Hong Kong to 40.4% in India for domestic investments (an overall average of 23.4%). In 8 out of 19 jurisdictions covered, investments are, however, effectively taxed at a rate between 20% and 25%. For foreign direct investment, international tax law regulations have a significant impact on the overall tax burden. In any of the Asia-Pacific jurisdictions, foreign direct investments by a Singaporean or a German parent company are on average taxed at 29.2% and at 32.8% in the case of profit repatriation to the United States. Meanwhile, tax incentives for the stimulation of private investment reduce the effective average tax rate by 8.6 percentage points on average. Fiscal incentives targeted at investments in the high-technology sector or the development of specific geographic areas result in the lowest effective tax burdens.Full-text Paper.

Download or read book Digitalization and Taxation in Asia written by Ms. Era Dabla-Norris and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digitalization in Asia is pervasive, unique, and growing. It stands out by its sheer scale, with internet users far exceeding numbers in other regions. This facilitates e-commerce in markets that are large by international standards, supported by innovative payment systems and featuring major corporate players, including a number of large, home-grown, highly digitalized businesses (tech giants) that rival US multinational enterprises (MNEs) in size. Opportunity for future growth exists, as a significant population share remains unconnected.
Download or read book Tax Incentives in Cambodia written by Mr.Manuk Ghazanchyan and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2018-03-29 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cambodia, like its regional peers, offers a number of tax incentives to investors. This paper reviews these incentives to assess their costs and benefits, including their likely effectiveness in attracting capital and in supporting the diversification strategy. It finds that an important incentive, the tax holiday, differs materially from practice elsewhere in offering a deferral rather than exempting from tax and may not be very effective. Moreover, other features of the tax system, such as the high withholding rate on dividends, imply relatively high effective tax rates for foreign investors. The paper discusses potential reforms that weigh revenue and other costs of tax incentives against the need for a competitive tax system, including a shift from tax holidays toward investment allowances.

Download or read book A Comprehensive Assessment of Tax Capacity in Southeast Asia written by Asian Development Bank and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2021-12-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Southeast Asia reels from the impacts of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), domestic resource mobilization (DRM) has never been more challenging or more critical. Prior to the pandemic, many countries in the region were not achieving a tax yield of 15% of gross domestic product—the level considered to be the minimum for sustainable development. The pandemic has further reduced tax revenues and public expenditures are facing increasing pressure. This publication identifies technical, policy, and administrative tax capacity issues faced by ten countries in Southeast Asia. It also explores potential policy and administrative measures to strengthen DRM.
Download or read book Tax and Development written by Satoru Araki and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2018-12-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taxation is increasingly in the limelight as a development agenda item, particularly with the emergence of the G20 as the premier international forum. This volume highlights the challenges faced by the Asia and Pacific region regarding tax policy and administration. Partly reflecting the diversity of the region, the region’s voice still appears to be low in comparison with that of other regions such as Europe and Latin America. This book introduces ADB’s and ADBI’s active roles in assisting developing countries with respect to taxation. In addition, this book is an attempt to narrow the gap in understanding between development specialists and tax specialists. This publication, an anthology by contributors who have been involved in ADB’s and ADBI’s activities on fiscal policy and taxation in various capacities is classified into three groups: (i) bird’s-eye overviews that discuss tax and development issues in Asia and the Pacific; (ii) country case studies that present theoretical policy analysis of a particular economy; and (iii) another set of country case studies that share practical experiences regarding the tax system of a particular economy.
