Die EU-Mitgliedstaaten haben sich das Ziel gesetzt, die Aufwendungen für Forschung und Entwicklung (FuE) bis zum Jahr 2010 auf 3% des Bruttoinlandsprodukts (BIP) anzuheben. Deutschland liegt mit einem Anteil der FuE-Aufwendungen von 2,54% des BIP unter der geforderten 3%-Marke. Zur Erreichung des Lissabon-Ziels führt die EU-Kommission eine steuerliche Breitenförderung von FuE als wichtige Maßnahme an. In Deutschland existieren im Gegensatz zur Mehrzahl der EU-Mitgliedstaaten sowie zu bedeutsamen Drittstaaten keine speziellen steuerlichen Maßnahmen zur FuE-Förderung. Die Arbeitsgruppe "Steuerliche FuE-Förderung" der Forschungsunion Wirtschaft - Wissenschaft prüft in diesem Bericht, ob, inwieweit und mittels welcher Instrumente auch in Deutschland eine direkte steuerliche FuE-Förderung in Erwägung gezogen werden kann. Als Ergebnis werden konkrete Vorschläge zur Ausgestaltung einer steuerlichen FuE-Förderung in Deutschland entwickelt.

The Asian-Pacific countries as well as India and Russia offer multinational companies all the benefits of booming economies in a world of recession. However, the investor must be aware of the tax regime under which he will operate. This survey presents the rates, definitions of taxable income and the incentives available in a complete, yet concise form. It goes on to review tax minimisation strategies and concludes with a comparison of the overall tax burdens for investors in each country derived from the Devereux/Griffith formulae – a methodology well known within the EU, but applied to this region for the first time.

The study conducted by the Centre of European Economic Research (ZEW), the University of Mannheim and Ernst & Young contributes to the ongoing evaluation of the proposal for a Draft Council Directive on a Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base (CC(C)TB) released by the European Commission on March 16, 2011. For the first time, details on the determination of taxable income under the proposed Council Directive are compared to prevailing corporate tax accounting regulations in all 27 Member States, Switzerland and the US. The study presents evidence on the scope of differences and similarities between national tax accounting regulations and the Directive’s treatment in a complete, yet concise form. Based on this comprehensive comparison, it goes on to discuss remaining open questions and adjustments needed if the Directive is to be implemented in national tax law. Readers seeking a basis for taking an active part in the public debate will find a valuable source of information and a first impression of how the proposed CC(C)TB would affect corporate tax burdens in the European Union.

This book summarises the results of a study on behalf of the European Commission. It presents estimates of effective average tax rates (EATR) in five EU Member States plus the USA. The main aim is to compare EATR on domestic investments by companies. A secondary aim is to work out the impact of the different tax drivers on the tax burden. The comparison is made in six stages: - Comparison of the EATR for a base case - Effects of alternative assumptions on the economic data - Comparative effects of the German tax reform from 1 January 2001 - Consequences of the most important tax reforms since 1995 - Effects of hypothetical tax reforms - Comparison with results obtained from other studies.
