The effectiveness of tax incentives on charitable donation expenditures in Canada is explored, and the analysis is extended to compare the effectiveness across different donation sectors. Price elasticities are estimated with data from the 2007 Canada Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating. Results suggest that specific charitable sectors are affected differently by Canada’s tax credit system. The findings have implications for public policy.

The article deals with the main R&D expenditure based tax incentives such as tax credit and enhanced allowances in the context of the development of fiscal space due to their impact on innovative activities of loss-making, small and medium enterprises as well as startups. The author disclosed basic features of R&D expenditure based tax incentives in comparison with tax exemptions and accelerated depreciation. Cross-country comparisons in OECD revealed that it is often a case when SMEs and startups enjoy R&D tax credit and enhanced allowance with higher rates. In addition, they can also claim full reimbursement of unused tax benefits for R&D while large companies can only count on partial or even non-reimbursement of unused tax benefits and limited carry over period. Implied tax subsidy rates on R&D are analyzed through different OECD countries, as well as through enterprises different in size and profitability. In 2019 the largest R&D tax benefits were offered to profitable SMEs in France (ITSR was 43%) and Portugal (ITSR was 39%). The ITSR methodology is used to work out scenarios of introduction of R&D expenditure -based tax incentives in Ukraine. Calculation results are presented. The state of R&D tax incentives in Ukraine in the case of aircraft industry is analyzed. The introduction R&D expenditure -based tax incentives is argued as a replacement of tax exemptions which are currently used as a measure for R&D promotion in the aircraft industry in Ukraine in terms of improvement of R&D tax support efficiency and spur successful development of high value-added industries as an important prerequisite for the development of fiscal space in Ukraine.

The successful functioning of business entities and their achievement of strategic advantages in a competitive environment largely depend on the effectiveness of their innovative activities. Therefore, an important area of tax regulation in the country should be to stimulate the attraction of investments for the introduction of innovations into economic activities. The purpose of the article is to assess the tax regulation of innovative activities of business entities in Ukraine and to develop proposals for its improvement. To achieve this goal, a systematic approach, an abstract-logical method, an economic-statistical and a comparison method were used. The authors analyzed the state of legislative regulation of innovative activity in Ukraine and identified its shortcomings regarding the interpretation of the concept of «innovative activity». The methods of tax incentives for innovative activities, contained in the legislation of Ukraine, have been investigated. It is proved that, unlike foreign countries, tax support for innovative projects in Ukraine has not yet received a stimulating character and has not become a means of activating the process of modernizing the material and technical base of enterprises. It was stated that according to the indicators of the European Innovation Board (EIT), the position of Ukraine is defined as the crane «Innovator that is being formed». It is noted that it is possible to start the process of innovative renewal of the national economy, subject to the introduction of a policy of tax incentives and the construction of an effective taxation model for innovative activities of a stimulating nature. The state of foreign investment and innovation activity of business entities in Ukraine has been analyzed. The possible directions of using tax instruments to stimulate innovative technologies have been substantiated, which include tax holidays for startups, the use of accelerated depreciation, a tax credit for the payment of payroll taxes, the introduction of a tax credit for income tax, a deferral of tax payments and carry forward of losses.

In conditions of limited resources, the government is looking for the most effective way of supporting and innovative development of priority sectors of the economy. Despite the fact that the question of the correlation between direct and indirect methods of stimulating investment and innovation activity remains open, more and more economically developed countries make a choice in favor of tax incentives and preferences. The need of finding the effective mechanisms of stimulating R&D in order to develop knowledge-intensive industries, creation of favorable conditions for innovation activity in the country - all of these confirm the importance of additional restructuring of the taxation system of the innovation sector of the economy. The most common form of tax incentives for innovation activity is tax credit. Based on the analysis of a wide range of foreign studies on the effectiveness of applying a tax credit for stimulating innovation activity, the article discusses and systematizes the positive and negative aspects of applying incremental and volume tax credits for R&D. In the study were used the method of comparative analysis to confront the experience of using different types of tax credit in different countries, the methods of cause-effect and system analysis to identify the main positive and negative aspects of applying volume and incremental tax credits. Based on dialectical method of knowledge, the directions of improving the mechanism of incremental tax credit were formulated. As the result of the analysis the assessment of applying the incremental tax credit for R&D in the existing tax system of Russian Federation and the recommendations for its transformation for increasing the effectiveness are given.

AbstractThis policy memo proposes and simulates the effects of a two-tier, nonrefundable tax credit for charitable contributions. A two-rate credit would expand access to tax incentives for charitable contributions to most Americans and increase charitable giving significantly, with substantial cost savings compared to alternative policy changes.
