Abstract

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.
