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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technological innovation is a primary engine of long-term economic growth, and research and development (R and D) serves as the lifeblood of innovation. The federal government encourages businesses to invest more in R and D than they otherwise would in several ways, including a tax credit for increases in spending on qualified research above a base amount. This book describes the current status of the credit, summarizes its legislative history, discusses policy issues it raises, and describes legislation to modify and extend it. Moreover, the book focuses on the effects of a patent box on encouraging research and development in the United States.

Book excerpt: This paper investigates whether an increase in the R&D tax credit rate stimulates firms' incremental R&D spending. We find that the increase in the credit rate has a positive effect on the R&D spending of high-tech firms with taxable status, but does not have the same positive effect on non-high tech firms. These results indicate that tax incentives alone may not be effective to increase R&D spending if firms do not have profitable innovation opportunities. Further, we find that when the tax incentive is structured as a credit based on incremental R&D spending over a moving-average base, firms opportunistically time their R&D spending patterns to obtain additional tax credits, resulting in greater variability in R&D spending and potentially the unintended loss of tax revenues. This study contributes to the ongoing global debate about the efficacy of tax policies towards R&D by providing firm-level evidence from a large cross-section of firms in an emerging economy.

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.

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.

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: 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.
