Tax assistance system in Korea is a one that is designed by the central government to achieve specific policy objectives through the tax relief for economic activities or specific industries, leading to the development of the industries, Thus, the purpose of this study is to see if the government's direct tax assistance system for small and medium manufacturing firms is effective and then to contribute to establishing necessary policies for an effective tax assistance system based on the identification of a direct assistance system that is substantially useful to those firms. T- test was performed to see if there was a difference in tax burden between small and medium manufacturing firms and small and medium non-manufacturing firms and also to see whether the direct assistance system was effective. The results obtained from the statistical analyses are as follows: (1) The tax reduction rule applied to small and medium firms was turned out to be effective based on the fact that the effective tax rates of the small and medium firms to which the rule was applied were, on the average, significantly lower than those of the Listing large corporation which did not receive the tax benefit and also on the fact that the tax savings rates of the small and medium firms which could apply the rule were, on the average, significantly higher than those of the Listing large corporation to which the rule was not applied. (2) The tax credit rule applied to small and medium manufacturing firms was also turned out effective based on the same fact as described in the case of the application of the tax reduction rule.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of R&D tax credit for SMEs. We surveyed to collect the information on firm's financial statements and R&D tax credit during 2014-2016, and implemented fixed effect model, random effect model and panel negative binomial model. The results show that the effect of R&D tax credit is 5.3 times larger in terms of R&D expenditure and 4.3 times bigger in terms of number of researchers than that of R&D subsidy. In addition, the effect of tax credit on non-metropolitan area companies is higher than that in the metropolitan area. Based on these results, we suggests three ways to improve the R&D tax incentive system for SMEs; To convert unused R&D tax credit of the start-ups to tax points, to exempt the minimum tax rate on R&D expenditure in equipment, and to unify the operation of various R&D tax credit institution.

전자상거래의 과세문제 중 상당부분은 국제조세와 관련되어 있다. 그러나 국제조세체계는 우리의 의지만으로 되는 것이 아니며, 기존의 상거래 분야에서의 강국이었던 미국이 전 세계경제질서에 막대한 영향을 미쳤듯이 전자상거래 분야에서도 마찬가지이다. 세계경제질서를 실질적으로 주도하고 있는 미국은 힘의 우위를 바탕으로 on-line 거래는 물론 off-line 거래 분야에서도 점진적으로 무관세를 주장하는 입장이다. 자본의 순수출국과 순수입국의 중간자적 입장에 있는 우리가 대처할 방안으로는 미국만이 내세우는 분야가 있으면, 이를 전략적으로 OECD회원국들과 공동적인 보조를 맞춰 나가고, 반대로 우리의 국익에 도움이 되는 분야는 이를 적극 주장하여 다른 회원국들의 이해를 구하는 협상력이 필요할 것이다. 전자상거래와 관련한 조세문제에 대하여 가장 핵심적인 전제는, 전자기술의 진보 국제적인 합의 및 납세자의 협력이라고 할 수 있다. 제반 분야가 조성될 수 있도록 정부당국은 세심한 검토와 지원이 있어야 할 것이다. 그리고 국내 전자상거래 시장이 비약적으로 확대 발전하고 있으므로 과세제도 측면에서 보완해야 할 점을 찾아내어 과세누락을 최소화하여야 하며, 다른 한편으로는 전자상거래를 활성화시키고 촉진시키기 위해 세제 및 세정상 지원방안도 강구해야 할 것이다.

Recently we have found some symptoms that R&D fiscal incentives might not work well what it has intended through the analysis of current statistics of firm's R&D data. Firstly, we found that the growth rate of R&D investment in private sector during the recent decade has been slowdown. The average of growth rate (real value) of R&D investment is 7.1% from 1998 to 2005, while it was 13.9% from 1980 to 1997. Secondly, the relative share of R&D investment of SME has been decreased to 21%('05) from 29%('01), even though the tax credit for SME has been more beneficial than large size firm, Thirdly, The R&D expenditure of large size firms (besides 3 leading firms) has not been increased since late of 1990s. We need to find some evidence whether fiscal incentives are effective in increasing firm's R&D investment. To analyse econometric model we use firm level unbalanced panel data for 4 years (from 2002 to 2005) derived from MOST database compiled from the annual survey, "Report on the Survey of Research and Development in Science and Technology". Also we use fixed effect model (Hausman test results accept fixed effect model with 1% of significant level) and estimate the model for all firms, large firms and SME respectively. We have following results from the analysis of econometric model. For large firm: i ) R&D investment responds elastically (1.20) to sales volume. ii) government R&D subsidy induces R&D investment (0.03) not so effectively. iii) Tax price elasticity is almost unity (-0.99). iv) For large firm tax incentive is more effective than R&D subsidy For SME: i ) Sales volume increase R&D investment of SME (0.043) not so effectively. ii ) government R&D subsidy is crowding out R&D investment of SME not seriously (-0.0079) iii) Tax price elasticity is very inelastic (-0.054) To compare with other studies, Koga(2003) has a similar result of tax price elasticity for Japanese firm (-1.0036), Hall((l992) has a unit tax price elasticity, Bloom et al. (2002) has $-0.354{\sim}-0.124$ in the short run. From the results of our analysis we recommend that government R&D subsidy has to focus on such an areas like basic research and public sector (defense, energy, health etc.) not overlapped private R&D sector. For SME government has to focus on establishing R&D infrastructure. To promote tax incentive policy, we need to strengthen the tax incentive scheme for large size firm's R&D investment. We recommend tax credit for large size film be extended to total volume of R&D investment.

This paper empirically examines whether the tax effect of indirect tax reductions such as reserves deductible and direct tax reductions such as tax credits and tax reductions is significantly associated with value relevance. That is, direct and indirect tax reductions bear upon an increase in accounting earnings and decrease in cash outflows through reducing tax burdens. The empirical result in this paper shows that firm value is significantly related to the tax effect of reserves for business improvement and other tax reserves, which comprise parts of the book value of equity through tax benefits, but is not significantly related to the tax credits and reserves deductible as necessary expenses that comprise accounting earnings. This paper also analyzes the difference in value relevance between direct tax reductions and indirect tax reductions(That is, Hypothesis No.5). We find that there are no significant differences between direct tax reductions and indirect tax reductions. Because the regressive coefficients of direct tax reductions and indirect tax reductions are not significantly.

The purpose of this study is to provide a logical basis for guarantee the effectiveness of the tax support system, which is one of the main measures to prevent the side effects of commercial gentrification. For this purpose, this study analyzes the combination of tax support to replace the loss of net rental income due to stabilize commercial rents and annual rent increase rate that can be substituted through the tax support system based on economic utility of commercial lessors in Seoung-dong, Seoul. The result of this study shows that the tax support system can be used as an effective means to substitute a considerable portion of the net rental income loss due to stabilize commercial rents of Seongsu-dong. However if the rent price continues to rise every year, the tax support system does not work. In order to guarantee the sustainability of the tax support system, annual rent increase rate should be kept below a certain level.
