This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to provide within a single volume a comparative analysis of the tax laws of developed countries bearing upon direct private investment in developing countries, and a representative sample of developing country laws bearing upon the receipt of such investment. This study was initiated by the Tax Committee of the Business Section of the International Bar Association under the leadership of Jean-Claude Goldsmith of the Paris Bar. I undertook to act as the reporter, to browbeat colleagues in other countries to write national reports, and to provide the reporter's overview statement. This report includes studies of fourteen developed countries prepared by national reporters and summaries of five other developed country laws. Note worthy are the detailed examinations of the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany and of Japan, the two developed countries that have provided the most comprehensive system of incentives for private investment in developing countries. Also contained herein are reports from eight developing countries, including a thorough examination of the laws of Brazil. Attention is paid in the developed country reports not only to those tax provisions that act as in inducement to foreign investment but also to those that favor domestic investment and hence act as a disincentive to foreign investment. Relevant double taxation agreements are discussed, and other aspects such as exchange control and government grants are also mentioned.

Book Synopsis Effects of Tax Incentives and Subsidies on Economic Growth in Developing Economies by : ERICK OKOTH
Download or read book Effects of Tax Incentives and Subsidies on Economic Growth in Developing Economies written by ERICK OKOTH and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tax incentives are defined as tax rules that go against the generally accepted principles of tax neutrality and fairness which are aimed at fostering both foreign and local investment since they promote greater investment competitiveness among emerging nations, maximize returns on investments, and reduce costs and inefficiencies in the investment market. Subsidies on the other hand are described as any government aid to private industry producers or consumers, whether financial or in-kind, which requires no commensurate repayment to the government in exchange but prerequisite the benefit on a certain conduct by the receiving firm or industry. This study aims to investigate the potential effectiveness of tax incentives and subsidies in enhancing economic development and growth among developing economies. Most developing economies, if not all, that are members of the UN organization work toward achieving the SDGs by 2030,and this is significantly influenced by the amount of investment they attract to boost economic growth and encourage improvements in citizen welfare. This study uses secondary data from World Bank, IMF, and OECD reports for a target period of 2010 - 2022 to examine how tax incentives affect economic development in emerging economies with a focus on Indonesia, Kenya, Malaysia, and Türkiye. For this study, the researcher used STATA version 15 to investigate the underlying relationship between the variables. The researcher performed a panel data regression analysis using the generalized estimating equations approach. The P-value approach used by the researcher assesses the relevance of the study's variables, for which the p-value is set at 0.05. This is a comparative study, as such the researcher prefers to use the generalized estimating equation method to perform a panel data regression analysis because it can simulate the population as a whole and because the data may be correlated, which would violate the independence assumptions of other traditional regression procedures. The study obtained positive and significant effects of subsidies on investments and economic growth. Incentives on taxes on production, sales, and transfers and taxes on profits and capital gains registered a non-significant positive effect on investment; however, the effects were insignificant and negative for economic growth.
Book Synopsis Effect of Tax Incentives on Growth in the Manufacturing Sector by : Munyaradzi Duve
Download or read book Effect of Tax Incentives on Growth in the Manufacturing Sector written by Munyaradzi Duve and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The link between economic growth and taxation has come up in various forms as governments use methods of mobilizing domestic resources for increase in production by manufacturers. It is said that the level of production in the manufacturing sectors were on average lower in developing countries than in rich countries. hence the argument is that, if developing countries were able to offer sufficient tax incentives they might be able to increase both domestic and foreign investment in the sector. This book, therefore, examines the formulation of tax incentives, implementation of tax incentives, controls in implementation of tax incentives, review of controls in implementation of tax incentives and best practice in respect of tax incentives. Each area is discussed under a separate chapter to provide a comprehensive description, analysis and utilisation of tax incetives by in the manufacturing sector. Information covered in this book is ideal for governments and revenue authorities, manufacturing firms, captains of industry, students doing their studies at undergraduate or post graduate level etc
Book Synopsis Rethinking Property Tax Incentives for Business by : Daphne A. Kenyon
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.
Book Synopsis Fiscal Incentives for Investment and Innovation by : Anwar Shah

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing countries continue to make widespread use of tax policy instruments to promote industrial and technological development. The actual effect of these instruments on business activity and government revenues, however, remains an open question. The studies presented in this volume take an important first step in quantifying the effect of investment incentives on business decisions related to production and investment. In addition, they suggest the consequences of such incentives for government revenues. The analyses presented in subsequent chapters attempt to answer a narrow set of questions. The most fundamental of these questions is: Do taxes matter for investment? Related questions include: - What have been the investment stimulation (direct and induced) effects of tax policy measures per dollar of forgone revenues? - Do taxes matter for foreign direct investment (FDI) in developing countries? Do they influence foreign business decisions about location? - What are the implications of the home (industrial) country tax regime for the host (developing) country tax system? - How do taxes interact with other institutional features of a developing country, and what are the implications for the effectiveness of tax incentives? Are corporate taxes largely ineffective (nonmarginal) instruments because of the influence of other policy instruments? - Do taxes matter for domestic investment? What is their effect on the structure of industrial production? - What has been the effect of tax instruments on the employment of labor, physical capital, and research and development (R&D) capital? - What has been the effect of business taxes and tax expenditures (forgone revenues) on technological change, expansion of private output, and after-tax profits? - Are there tax-induced distortions that prevent firms from holding optimal levels of fixed factors? - How does market power affect tax incentives? - What is the role of expectations in investment decisions? - Given empirical estimates on factor substitution, the nature of technical change, and economies of scale, what revenue-neutral alternative tax policy environment would best encourage investment and enhance productivity and growth? The papers presented in this volume reflect on the above questions at both conceptual and empirical levels and in doing so pay close attention to the tax and nontax policy elements and the existing institutions (market imperfections) in developing and emerging market economies. In the next section the case for tax policy interventions in the marketplace is examined briefly.

This book was released on 2012-08-16 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Better designed and implemented fiscal regimes for oil, gas, and mining can make a substantial contribution to the revenue needs of many developing countries while ensuring an attractive return for investors, according to a new policy paper from the International Monetary Fund. Revenues from extractive industries (EIs) have major macroeconomic implications. The EIs account for over half of government revenues in many petroleum-rich countries, and for over 20 percent in mining countries. About one-third of IMF member countries find (or could find) resource revenues “macro-critical” – especially with large numbers of recent new discoveries and planned oil, gas, and mining developments. IMF policy advice and technical assistance in the field has massively expanded in recent years – driven by demand from member countries and supported by increased donor finance. The paper sets out the analytical framework underpinning, and key elements of, the country-specific advice given. Also available in Arabic: ????? ??????? ?????? ???????? ???????????: ??????? ????????

Book Synopsis Government Finance in Developing Countries by : Richard Goode
Download or read book Government Finance in Developing Countries written by Richard Goode and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiscal systems throughout the world have been severely strained in recent years, as governments have assumed more responsibility for economic management. The developing counties, where needs are greatest and resources scarcest, have found their finances especially hard pressed. This book examines a range of issues in government finance that confront developing countries: the formulation and execution of national budget; the objectives, size, and effects of expenditures; the purposes and results of various ways of taxing income, wealth, consumption, exports, or natural resources; the role of foreign and domestic borrowings; and the consequences of financing by money creation. The book also relates fiscal operations to goals such as growth and development, economic stabilization, equitable distribution, and national self-reliance. The author stresses the need to take account of economic and political conditions and particularly administrative capacity when evaluating the suitability of fiscal measures in developing countries.

Book Synopsis Evaluating State and Local Business Tax Incentives by : Cailin R. Slattery
Download or read book Evaluating State and Local Business Tax Incentives written by Cailin R. Slattery and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay describes and evaluates state and local business tax incentives in the United States. In 2014, states spent between $5 and $216 per capita on incentives for firms in the form of firm-specific subsidies and general tax credits, which mostly target investment, job creation, and research and development. Collectively, these incentives amounted to nearly 40% of state corporate tax revenues for the typical state, but some states' incentive spending exceeded their corporate tax revenues. States with higher per capita incentives tend to have higher state corporate tax rates. Recipients of firm-specific incentives are usually large establishments in manufacturing, technology, and high-skilled service industries, and the average discretionary subsidy is $178M for 1,500 promised jobs. Firms tend to accept subsidy deals from places that are richer, larger, and more urban than the average county, and poor places provide larger incentives and spend more per job. Comparing "winning" and runner-up locations for each deal in a bigger and more recent sample than in prior work, we find that average employment within the 3-digit industry of the deal increases by roughly 1,500 jobs. While we find some evidence of direct employment gains from attracting a firm, we do not find strong evidence that firm-specific tax incentives increase broader economic growth at the state and local level. Although these incentives are often intended to attract and retain high-spillover firms, the evidence on spillovers and productivity effects of incentives appears mixed. As subsidy-giving has become more prevalent, subsidies are no longer as closely tied to firm investment. If subsidy deals do not lead to high spillovers, justifying these incentives requires substantial equity gains, which are also unclear empirically.
