Creativity, technical knowledge and financial resources, whether public or private, are three very important subjects to encourage technological innovation. Public policies on fiscal incentives fostering the increase of investment of financial resources for RD&I projects are particularly needed in developing countries. Therefore, this article aims to inform about the legal and bureaucratic procedures for the execution of research projects developed by partnerships between a company and an Institute of Science and Technology (i.e. ICT) applying the incentives of Brazilian Federal Law No. 11,196/2005 - Law of Good. This letter describes all the legislation that supports such incentives and outlines the needed accounting procedures to be performed. As a result, a demonstration on research expenditures and the impact on the reduction of income taxes is performed regarding to the following Brazilian income taxes: Income Tax (i.e. IRPJ) and Contribution on Net Income (i.e. CSLL), levied to the Brazilian taxpayers.

Farmers have benefited from unique tax treatment since the beginning of the income tax law. This paper explores agricultural influences on the passage of the income tax in 1913, using both qualitative and quantitative analysis. The results show that agricultural interests were influential in the development and passage of tax/tariff laws. The percentage of congressmen with agricultural ties explains the strong affection for agriculture. Discussion in congressional debates and in agricultural journals was passionate and patriotic in support of equity for farmers. The quantitative analysis reveals that the percentage farm population was a significant predictor of passage of the 16th Amendment by the states and of adoption of state income taxes in the 20th century.

Abstract Federal and state income taxes are calculated for hypothetical forest landowners in two income brackets across 23 states in the Midwest and Northeast to illustrate the effects of differential state tax treatment. The income tax liability is calculated in a year in which the timber owners harvest $200,000 worth of timber. State income taxes ranged from highs of $13,427 for middle-income landowners and $18,527 for high-income landowners in Maine to no tax burden in New Hampshire and South Dakota. Calculated state and federal income taxes are based on 2004 tax regulations and rates. After-tax land expectation values calculated for a forest landowner in the Northern Lower Peninsula of Michigan illustrate the importance of tax planning on returns to a timber investment. The results support the need for adequate tax accounting.

Abstract Federal and state income taxes are calculated for hypothetical forest landowners in two income brackets across 13 states in the West to illustrate the effects of differential state tax treatment. The income tax liability is calculated in a year in which the timber owners harvest $200,000 worth of timber. State income taxes range from highs of $19,693 for middle-income and $34,993 for high-income landowners in Oregon to no income tax in Alaska, Nevada, Washington and Wyoming. After-tax land expectation values for a forest landowner in Oregon are also calculated to illustrate the importance of tax planning on returns to a timber investment. The need for adequate tax accounting is supported by the results.

This paper investigates the impact of the seller's tax liability on the price paid in hospital acquisitions. Lock-in theory predicts that for a given asset, asset holders with larger tax liabilities demand a higher price to compensate for income tax liabilities generated on the sale. We apply this theory to a sample of hospital acquisitions by for-profit firms where the primary difference among target hospitals is the seller's tax status—either taxable or tax-exempt. Consistent with the predicted lock-in effect, the evidence indicates that purchase prices are higher when the seller is taxable than when the seller is tax-exempt. Thus, our findings suggest that seller tax liabilities are positively related to purchase prices.

Abstract The importance of certain tax forms for the economy of any country is confirmed by the fact that they can be used to impact on the achievement of fiscal aims as they play a significant role when it comes to their share in a total amount of public revenue of certain countries. Another important characteristic of taxes is that they can affect the trends of gross domestic product (GDP) as one of the most important economic indicators of achieved development of a national economy. It is for this reason that we must point out that the authors will pay special attention to determining the impact that corporate income tax has on trends of gross domestic product in the Republic of Serbia and their interdependency. This will provide an answer to a question whether corporate income taxes have a positive effect on gross domestic product trends and what is its relation with this indicator. On the basis of quantitative research, through the application of regression analysis, the authors will confirm or refute the hypothesis concerning this problem. Finally, we will reach a conclusion which will offer answers to questions related to the impact of this tax type tax on the gross domestic product trends, the extent of the impact and its nature – whether it has a positive or a negative effect on gross domestic product trends in the Republic of Serbia

In this article, using new data released in 2019, Tahsin Mehdi and Brian Murphy examine changes in the progressivity of the federal and provincial income tax system, in conjunction with changes in the progressivity of federal and provincial cash transfers since 1992, by examining effective tax rates. Many of the major components of the system of income taxes and cash transfers have become somewhat more progressive collectively over time. This has resulted in an improved net tax position for lower-income taxfilers as well as the top third of taxfilers. On the other hand, taxfilers in the middle quintile have experienced a drop in their net tax position since 1992.

Төртінші өнеркәсіптік революция еңбек нарығының өзгеруіне айтарлықтай әсер етеді - мамандықтар, жұмысқа деген көзқарастар өзгереді. Бүгінгі таңда компанияның жетістігі оның қызметкерлерінің технологияны, ең алдымен оны шығармашылық және жаңашылдықпен қолдана алу қабілетіне байланысты. Бұл мақалада компания қызметкерлерінің жаңа индустриялық революцияның әсерін қалай сезінетіні, бизнестің цифрлық трансформациялану жағдайында бейімделу үшін қандай дағдылар қажет екендігі, компаниядағы технологиялық қайта құруға дайын сызықтық кеңсе қызметкерлері және оларда қажетті дағдылары қаншалықты бар екендігі талданады. Жалпы дағдылардың ішінде адамның ерекше қабілеттеріне, эмоционалды интеллектке, шығармашылыққа, сыпайылыққа және т.б. қажеттілік артады деген тұжырым жасалды. Техникалық білімнің маңыздылығы артып келеді: бағдарламалық қамтамасыз етумен, бағдарламалаумен, жалпы цифрлық сауаттылықпен тиімді жұмыс істеу мүмкіндігі. Егер «жұмсақ» дағдылардың шартты бөлігі бүгінгі күні қызметкерлер арасында жеткілікті деңгейде дамыған болса, онда техникалық қабілеттер алаңдатады. Жалпы алғанда, сәтті және бәсекеге қабілетті жұмыс күшін құру үшін компаниялар екі бағытта әрекет етуі керек - нарықтың қажеттіліктеріне сәйкес дағдылар мен білім жүйесін қалыптастыру, сонымен қатар «өмір бойы білім алу» идеяларын, яғни үздіксіз өздігінен білім алуды насихаттау. The fourth industrial revolution has a significant impact on the transformation of the labor market - changing professions, approaches to work. Today, the success of a company depends on the ability of its employees to use technology, first of all, to do it creatively and innovatively. This article analyzes how staffs of companies feel the impact of the new industrial revolution, what skills are needed to adapt in the context of digital business transformation, are linear office workers ready for technological transformations in companies, and do they have the necessary skills. It is concluded that among the general skills there will grow a need for uniquely human abilities, such as emotional intelligence, creativity, sociability, etc. The importance of technical knowledge is growing: the ability to work effectively with software, programming, general digital literacy. If the conditional part of “soft” skills is developed among staffs at a sufficient level today, then technical abilities are of concern. In general, in order to create a successful and competitive workforce, companies need to act in two directions - to form training and monitoring systems of skills and knowledge in accordance with the needs of the market, as well as to promote the ideas of "lifelong learning", that is, continuously independent selfeducation.

ABSTRACT The U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Comptroller of the Treasury of Maryland v. Wynne held that Maryland's individual income tax law violates the Dormant Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution because it failed to grant a full credit against both the state and county income tax for income taxes paid to other states. The extension of the Dormant Commerce Clause and the application of the internal consistency test to individual income taxes may lead to taxpayer challenges in other states with individual income taxes. We identify four possible tax regimes that meet the internal consistency test under Wynne and provide an example of the impact of each regime on state and local government revenue in both the resident and nonresident state. We then review current state and local tax regimes, focusing on the 14 states with local income taxes and those that do not grant a tax credit for out-of-state local taxes paid by residents. We evaluate whether those tax regimes may be subject to challenge based on the Wynne decision. Finally, we suggest three policy options that Congress should consider to lessen the budgetary impact of Wynne on county and municipal governments and to allocate the cost of government based on income.
