Tax policies supporting research activities of non-public research organizations: Overview and policy implications for Vietnam
Keywords:
Tax, Policies, Non-public organizations, Research and development, Science and technologyAbstract
As Vietnam’s economy expands, the government is adjusting its policies in the field of science and technology (S&T). These adjustments include privatization to encourage businesses, groups, and individuals to participate in S&T. The policies also permit various organizations and individuals, including those from other countries, to establish and register private S&T institutions in Vietnam. These non-public organizations operating in research and development (R&D) have played a significant role in the country's overall socio-economic development and the progress of S&T. Recognizing their importance, it's essential to have policies that support and enhance the R&D activities of these institutions, aligning with their role in the country's growth. This article examines the gaps in tax policies affecting the support for R&D activities in non-public organizations in Vietnam. It proposes solutions by analyzing these gaps and referring to effective policies from around the world that support R&D activities in non-public organizations.
