Abstract
There must be few tax systems in the world today without some form of investment incentive. Most governments declare themselves in favour of investment and express this attitude in a variety of incentives, the majority of which have tax consequences. The amounts of tax revenue at issue are substantial, but so are the potential rewards: the incentives improve the investment climate, investment increases, the economy prospers, the standard of living accelerates.
