Colloque PI et Fiscalit茅 - "Patent Boxes"

[En anglais seulement] Patent Boxes are at the forefront of international tax policy discussions in government institutions at domestic and international levels. Policymakers advocating for them claim that they promote innovation. Others argue that Patent Boxes play into the increasingly worrisome 鈥榬ace to the bottom鈥� of international tax competition.

Due to the inherent mobility of intellectual property, a patent can represent significant value to a business and yet be transferred simply through paperwork. Multinational corporations and high net worth individuals have thus made extensive use of Patent Boxes to shift their high-value patents and related income flows, such as licensing fees, and significantly reduce their overall tax liability.

With the endorsement of the G20 countries, the world鈥檚 policy making body for tax policy, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) introduced a model for a Patent Box with an aim to prevent the revenue losses incurred and alleged capital flight caused by these regimes. The OECD established country peer-review guidelines in 2015 to help identify which Patent Boxes are 'harmful' and usher in a new order of "OECD-compliant" regimes through the exertion of international soft power.

The OECD has already begun the peer-review process of existing Patent Boxes under its guidelines. It namely reviewed France's, Belgium's and Luxembourg's, and deemed each of their Patent Boxes to be non-compliant. However, the three countries reacted differently. France has not modified its laws. Belgium amended its Patent Box with the聽 corresponding transitional rules. Luxembourg repealed its Patent Box and has announced that it shall soon introduce a new, OECD-compliant one. For its part, Canada 鈥� where the provinces of Qu茅bec and Saskatchewan have Patent Boxes, but the federal level has none 鈥� has not yet been reviewed.

Patent Boxes are now explicitly endorsed by the OECD, and are quickly gaining ground in the mind of global economic leaders. In light of this trend, a comparative study considering the policy costs and benefits of this tax regime is necessary to provide these leaders with the tools to make the most appropriate policy choices.
