Tax for Science & Technology
It is common for developed countries in science and technology (Iptek) to provide incentive or incentives to industry to set aside some income to pay for research activities, both fiscal and non fiscal.
That fiscal incentives and related non fiscal for the industry are willing to set aside some income to pay for the research.
“Revenue forgone”?
Government Regulation on the allocation Some Revenue Agency for the Business Improvement ability, innovation, technology diffusion, and emphasize, the body that allocates part of the business income for creation capacity, innovation, and technology diffusion can be given incentives in the form of tax incentives, Customs, and / or technical assistance and research development.
However, the tax authorities still object to them because it will be very concerned about not achieving the target through the state income tax in the year concerned, which they call as the revenue forgone.
Is it true that the state will lose income because science and technology used to pay for?
Projections 3-5 years
It is true that state revenues will be reduced through tax incentives is provided to finance the research industry. However, by ensuring that research is industry funded research is yielding quick, within three to five years will be a commercial product.
Through a simulation, can be calculated that investment in research of some Rp 12 billion in two years, at the end of the third year, commercialization of products, results of research that will result in sales per year is about Rp 100 billion with net profit of Rp 20 billion.
All revenues from state taxes-sales tax, value-added, the company earnings, and earnings of individuals related to this activity is around Rp 16 billion per year, almost three times the number of tax incentives provided. If not yet calculated the benefits that can be of economic growth, the availability of employment, and poverty reduction caused.
From this simulation, it is clear the government investment in the form of tax incentives to fund research will benefit not folded and are considered as revenue forgone.
Science & Technology Management
Sciences activities in Indonesia in 2009 will need to get special handling. It is quite a lot of government funds spent to finance research activities are development or simply to improve the welfare researchers. The researchers and research institutions can choose the activities that produce the required commercial market within three to five years.
At the beginning of the year 2009, the Ministry of State RISTEK (cq National Council of Research) will announce the product’s target areas of technology focus on food, energy, transportation, information and communication, Defense, and health a priority.
Identification of target products was carried out with representatives from researchers, users, and the industry. The researchers face to be together with fellow researchers and the industry to be able to get output. Because this research has been produce commercial products (goods and services), industries are more interested parties to participate in the planning, monitoring, absorption, and utilization of results, and on financing.
Hopefully, with the management sciences & technology oriented commercial products will increase to the tax policy because of the increased sciences & technology will increase tax revenues.
