Resulting in huge inequity and “wasted” incentives

(2.8% of 2017 GDP)

● Firms with no incentives pay the regular rate of 30% of net taxable income.

● Firms with incentives pay between 6% and 13% effective tax.

● For example, almost all of the 90,000 SMEs pay the regular 30% rate.

In 2017, 989,166 registered firms.

In addition, PHP 63 billion was lost due to possibleabuse of transfer pricing.

(0.4% of 2017 GDP)

1. Wider gap between total FDI and approved FDI means most investors don’t need incentives.

2. PEZA approved investments have been declining even without CITIRA.

3. BOI approved investments are higher than PEZA, suggesting that firms don’t need forever incentives to invest.

4. Prior to 2013, PEZA approved FDI were consistently higher than total FDI. This suggests that many approved investment don’t materialize.

Incentives may be important to encourageinvestments that promote growth and jobs...

Some incentives are unnecessary, i.e., investment would have happened anyway even without the incentives (e.g., available market, quality labor, land, resources, etc.).

...but, investment tax incentives are tax expendituresthat someone else has to pay.

It is not free money from heaven.

Government needs to ensure efficiency in spending.

Promote research and development

Encourage innovation

Stimulate domestic industriesDiversify product space

Basis for cost benefit analysis

1. Economic value – can be quantified. This is what we analyze.

2. Social value – usually cannot be quantified; based on public perception of what is socially important.

3. Political value – usually cannot be quantified; usually based on a political decision.

The golden standard —randomized assignment

1. Ideally, randomly assign eligible firms to receive and

not receive tax incentives to remove bias.a. Outcomes are then measured before and after receiving

tax incentives.

2. However, tax incentives are not randomly assigned.

They are purposely given.a. What we have:

i. Tax incentives (2015 TIMTA).

ii. Nationwide survey on firm characteristics and outcomes

of interest (2012 CPBI, 2014 and 2015 ASPBI).

2. Most powerful

1. Not always feasible

2. Not always ethical

Regression discontinuity

2. If an intervention has a clear, sharp assignment rule.

1. Project beneficiaries often must qualify through established criteria

1. Only look at sub-group of sample

2. Assignment rule in practice often not implemented strictly

Difference-in-differences

1. If two groups are growing at similar rates

2. Baseline and follow-up data are available

1. Eliminates fixed differences not related to treatment

1. Can be biased if trends change.

2.Ideally have 2 pre-intervention periods of data.

Matching1. When other methods are not possible

1. Overcomes observed differences between treatment and comparison

1. Assumes no unobserved differences

Taiwanese

manufacturing

firms

VariablesFirm size, firm age, capital intensity, profitability, industry dummy, time dummy

Specific tax incentive program:R&D tax credits

1. PSM estimates show that recipients of R&D

tax credits appear on average to have 53.80%

higher R&D expenditures than that they do

without receiving tax credits, while there is no

significantly higher growth rate of R&D

expenditure.

2. The R&D tax credit is witnessed to exhibit a

significantly positive influence on R&D

expenditure and its growth, especially for

electronics firms. The marginal effect is

moderate, ranging from 0.094 to 0.120.

Specifically, the R&D elasticity concerning tax

credits tends to increase gradually along with

the approaching expiration of R&D tax credits

measure, lending a supportive view on its

efficacy.

Cost-benefit analysis: Methods

1. Estimating implicit labor subsidyWhat is the cost for each job created?

3. Estimating net government revenue Do we generate more revenue from the tax we forego?

2. Performing a counterfactual analysisDo firms with registered activities for incentives perform better in terms of job creation, R&D investments, productivity, etc. when compared to non-registered firms?

4. Accounting of direct and indirect cost and benefitDo total benefits from incentives, both private and social, outweigh total costs?

There are other and may bebetter ways to support firms

Granting tax incentives is not the only way to directly help firms

The government can use more efficient and targeted subsidies

The real solution in the medium-term is to address

infrastructure gaps, corruption, inefficiency in government, and complex

business regulations

Ex. lifeline subsidies, power subsidies, housing vouchers, skills training, etc.

Cases based on necessity of incentives

Case 1: Assumes that ALL incentives are necessary, i.e., none of the incentivized activities will occur without the incentives. Thus, even when the investment is market- or resource-seeking, highly profitable, or on a long-time recipient of incentives, benefits (under the “Unnecessary” column in the tables) are counted.

Case 2: Assumes that some incentives are unnecessary, i.e., some investments would have come anyway even without the incentives. When the investment is market- or resource-seeking, highly profitable, or on a long-time recipient of incentives, benefits (under the “Unnecessary” column in the tables) are not induced by the incentives and therefore not counted.

2. Necessary incentives, on the other hand, incur costs which may or may not be offset by benefits arising from incentives.
