Subsidies and Fiscal Incentives Sample Clauses

Subsidies and Fiscal Incentives. Fiscal incentives in the sense of Art 1.1 (a) (1) (ii) SCM was also analysed by the Appellate Body in the case US-FSC. In paragraph 90 the phrase »‘foregoing’ of revenue ‘otherwise due’« is in- terpreted, and the Appellate Body concludes that the term »otherwise« refers to a »normative benchmark« as established by the tax rules applied by the WTO Member in question. The Appellate Body rejects the use of a bench- mark other than the tax rules of the Member in question, holding that to do otherwise is contrary to a Member’s sovereignty of taxation. However, it should be noticed that the Appellate Body expresses some res- ervations about the Panel’s »but for« test in paragraph 91. The Panel had held that it would examine the situation »that would exist but for the measure in question«. The Appellate Body notes that this »but for« test is not actual trea- ty language and finds that the test may »not work in other cases«, i.e. the Ap- pellate Body tried to find a common interpretation of the articles in question in the case US-FSC. In this respect it could be discussed whether exemption methods, with and without subject-to-tax-provisions, could constitute a subsidy. In order to judge a controversial measure, the question does not only seem to be whether the overall tax burden or only the territorial tax burden is the benchmark. With reference to the argumentation by the Appellate Body in US-FSC, it can be argued that a subsidy can be a departure from the rules of taxation that would »otherwise« apply, cf. paragraph 95. Therefore it seems reasonable to conclude that fiscal insentatives such as exemption methods, with and without subject-to-tax-provisions, could consti- tute a subsidy, if they are provided in a way that would be different if the con- tested transaction was domestic. For instance, if profits from exports are ex- empt from taxation, and profits from domestic sales are not, this could be a prohibited export subsidy in the sense of Art 3.1 (a). This conclusion would be even stronger, if losses from exempted export activities could be deducted in other taxable income.
