ABSTRAKThe social distancing and physical distancing policies due to the COVID-19 pandemic have disrupted the value chain of the business world, causing various impacts on the Indonesian economy, resulting in shocks in sectors in the economy. One of the sectors experiencing the worst shocks is the tourism sector. The policy pursued by the government to reduce these shocks is by providing an economic stimulus in the form of tax incentives. The tax incentives provided have not been able to accommodate all the needs of the Tourism Business in facing the COVID-19 pandemic. This encourages the author to find out the needs of the tourism sector in facing the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the benefits of tax incentives in the tourism sector, and alternative tax incentive policy solutions to overcome economic problems in the tourism sector due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This research uses qualitative research methods with the type of library research. The results of this study indicate that there are two needs of the tourism sector that have not been responded to in the tax incentive policy by the government, namely support to increase demand and consumption, and easy access to business credit. The author at the end of the study recommends providing value-added tax incentives to increase demand and consumption, and tax incentives for platforms and lenders in fintech lending for easy access to business credit. Kebijakan social distancing dan physical distancing akibat pandemi COVID-19 menimbulkan gangguan pada rantai nilai dunia usaha sehingga menyebabkan berbagai dampak pada perekonomian Indonesia yang berakibat timbulnya goncangan pada sektor-sektor dalam perekonomian.  Salah satu sektor yang mengalami goncangan terparah adalah sektor pariwisata. Kebijakan yang ditempuh oleh pemerintah untuk mengurangi goncangan tersebut adalah dengan cara memberikan stimulus ekomoni berupa insentif pajak. Insentif pajak yang diberikan ternyata belum dapat mengakomodir semua kebutuhan Usaha Pariwisata dalam menghadapi pandemi COVID-19. Hal tersebut mendorong penulis untuk mengetahui kebutuhan sektor pariwisata dalam menghadapi dampak negatif akibat pandemi COVID-19, manfaat insentif pajak pada sektor pariwisata, dan alternatif solusi kebijakan insentif pajak bagaimana yang dapat untuk mengatasi masalah ekonomi pada sektor pariwisata akibat pandemi COVID-19. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat dua kebutuhan sektor pariwisata yang belum direspons dalam kebijakan insentif pajak oleh pemerintah, yaitu dukungan untuk menaikkan permintaan dan konsumsi, serta kemudahan akses kredit usaha. Penulis pada akhir penelitian merekomendasikan untuk diberikannya insentif pajak pertambahan nilai untuk menaikkan permintaan dan konsumsi, dan insentif pajak untuk platform dan pemberi pinjaman dalam fintech lending untuk kemudahan akses kredit usaha.

This paper examines tax incentive policies in geothermal industries in ASEAN to better understand the development of geothermal industry investment in the ASEAN Member States (AMS) using a qualitative method. The results indicate that tax incentive policies have supported the investment climate and the development of geothermal industries in the AMS. Geothermal investments and production capacities in AMS have increased significantly. AMS that provide geothermal tax incentives include Indonesia, Lao PDR, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. The performance of geothermal tax incentive policies is reflected in the level of utilization of geothermal potential, which is higher in states that provide greater tax incentives. The results also indicate that geothermal power plants in AMS use dry steam, flash and binary cycle technologies with flash plants being the most common. Results suggest that the future development of geothermal energy in AMS will be related to the tax incentive policy and investment climate in those states. Furthermore, the granting of various types of tax incentives should be focused on the initial investment in geothermal development. ©2020. CBIORE-IJRED. All rights reserved

This paper aims to assess the impact of the tax incentive policy on firm performance after privatization in Vietnam. Using research data of 260 privatized enterprises in Vietnam, this study sheds light on whether tax incentive policies can help improve firm performance after privatization. The paper utilizes a pre-post comparison approach proposed by Megginson, Nash, and Van Randenborgh (1994). The research results reveal that privatized enterprises with tax incentives have improved profitability (ROA, ROE, ROS) and operating efficiency (NIEFF) and reduced leverage after privatization. A statistical reduction in the number of employed and an improvement in output (real income) after privatization are not observed. Besides, there is no statistical evidence proving that privatized enterprises have experienced significant changes in standard deviations of firm performance measures after privatization in Vietnam. Given significant improvements in the profitability of post-privatized enterprises with tax incentives, the authors propose some managerial implications for the Vietnamese government, investors and non-privatized state-owned enterprises (SOEs).

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the COVID-19 tax incentives that the government has issued. It focused on Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) taxpayers to participate in COVID-19 tax incentives. Using a qualitative method, this study used in-depth interviews with 2 informants who were a tax consultant and a small-medium enterprise accountant. The findings show that the effectiveness of the COVID-19 tax incentive is still lacking, and it is in line with the participation of MSMEs that is still low in utilizing tax incentives. The low participation of MSMEs in utilizing tax incentives can be seen from the data, which shows that after 5 months of running the program, out of around 2.3 million MSMEs, only 200,000 have taken advantage of this facility. The tax consultant states that the scheme that has been implemented in mitigating the financial burden of MSMEs is not effective for the object of incentives in not substantial. The informant suggests incentives to cover value-added tax also. The government is expected to create a new and better incentive scheme. The new incentive scheme is also to provide an equilibrium of responsibility for both government and society. This paper contributes theoretically by examining new types of tax incentives, namely COVID-19 tax incentives, and helping policymakers make better tax incentive schemes in the future.

Oregon’s weight-mile tax was amended in 1990 to provide for a lower tax rate for trucks weighing more than 36 320 kg (80,000 lb) to which axles were added. The additional axles within a weight class reduce the amount of road damage. The tax break was largely based on equity considerations, since trucks within a weight class tend to do less road damage if they have more axles. However, the tax reductions also created an economic incentive to add axles and thus reduce road damage. Whether the tax break actually led to an increase in the number of axles within weight classes and a reduction in the amount of road damage is investigated. Statistical data indicate that a small increase occurred in the number of axles in most weight classes and a large increase occurred in mileage by the heaviest trucks with the most axles. These increases reduced the damage per ton shipped on trucks subject to the axle incentive, but to determine if this was due to the weight-mile tax is not possible. A series of structured interviews supplemented the statistical analysis and indicates that the tax incentive is not a major determinant of truck configuration. One reason for this is that regulatory constraints, particularly weight limits, limit the effectiveness of the tax incentives.

Tax competition scholars are increasingly recognizing that states compete with each other not only by manipulating tax rates but also by adopting tax incentives. However, there is a comparative lack of empirical literature exploring why states adopt different types of tax incentives. This article draws on the literatures on tax competition and policy diffusion to develop hypotheses about what factors motivate states to adopt business tax incentives, paying particular attention to the influence of other adopting states. It uses event history analysis methods to test hypotheses regarding the adoption of four state tax incentive policies: investment tax credits, apportionment formula changes, research and development tax credits, and job creation tax credits. Regression results show that factors that influence adoption decisions are largely inconsistent across the four incentive types. However, analyses of duration dependence find evidence consistent with the idea that states are “racing to the bottom.”
