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.

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: 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.

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: Technological innovation is a primary engine of long-term economic growth, and research and development (R&D) serves as the lifeblood of innovation. The federal government encourages businesses to invest more in R&D than they otherwise would in several ways, including a tax credit for increases in spending on qualified research above a base amount. This report describes the current status of the credit, summarizes its legislative history, discusses policy issues it raises, and describes legislation to modify and extend it. The report will be updated as warranted by legislative activity or other developments affecting the credit. The research credit (also known as the research and experimentation (R&E) tax credit) has never been permanent. It expired at the end of 2011 and was retroactively extended by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (P.L. 112-240) through the end of 2013. Since its enactment in mid- 1981, the credit has been extended 15 times and significantly modified 5 times. While the credit is usually assumed to be a single credit, it actually consists of four discrete credits: (1) a regular credit, (2) an alternative simplified credit (ASC), (3) a basic research credit, and (4) an energy research credit. A taxpayer may claim one of the first two and each of the other two, provided it meets the requirements for each. In essence, the research credit attempts to boost business investment in basic and applied research by reducing the after-tax cost of undertaking qualified research above a base amount, which in theory approximates the amount a company would invest in R&D in the absence of the credit. As a result, the credit's effectiveness hinges on the sensitivity of the demand for this research to decreases in its cost. It is unclear from available studies how sensitive that demand actually is. While most analysts and lawmakers endorse the use of tax incentives to generate increases in business R&D investment, some have some reservations about the current credit. Critics contend that it is not as effective as it could or should be because of certain problems with its design. These include a lack of permanence, uneven and inadequate incentive effects, non-refundability, and an ambiguous definition of qualified research. The House has passed two bills (H.R. 4438, the American Research and Competitiveness Act of 2014 on May 9 and H.R. 4, the Jobs for America Act on September 18) that would simplify and permanently extend the research tax credit. Under each measure, the credit would be equal to the sum of 20% of a taxpayer's qualified research expenditures (QREs) in the current tax year above 50% of average annual QREs in the previous three tax years, 20% of its basic research payments in the current tax year above 50% of average annual basic research payments in the three previous tax years, and 20% of the amounts paid or incurred by the taxpayer in the current tax year for qualified energy research conducted by an energy research consortium. The bills' estimated 10-year revenue cost is $155.5 billion. On April 3, the Senate Finance Committee marked up S. 2260, the Expiring Provisions Improvement, Reform, and Efficiency Act. Among other things, the bill would extend the existing research credit through the end of 2015. It would also change its design by allowing small, young companies that are unable to use some or all of any credit they could claim for the current tax year because of insufficient tax liability to apply up to $250,000 of their credit against their federal payroll tax liabilities. This option would be available only to companies that have been in business fewer than five years and whose annual gross receipts are less than $5 million.
