Capturing the value of incentives can be complicated, and many companies don’t know where to start.
In a recent Deloitte poll of roughly 50 multi-national companies, 76% indicated their company could benefit from globally pursuing and managing tax credits, incentives, and grants, but only 21% responded that their company currently takes this type of global approach. A significant divide exists between a global strategy and approach that could drive value, and the real-life processes that companies have in place.
Deloitte Tax LLP recently hosted a global credits and incentives virtual conference for clients to address this organizational challenge and potential opportunity – how to consider and develop a value-add credits and incentives plan in a post-COVID-19 environment. The conference brought together thought leaders focused on the post-pandemic economic recovery, sustainability and environmentally focused incentives, incentive regimes offered in the EU and United States, digitization of business, and how to stand up a global credits and incentives program within an organization. “This is exactly what I need for the business”, said one medical technologies client in attendance, and “Very informative and inspiring,” said another consumer goods client who joined the conference.
Securing incentives for one-off investments is important, but it is more important to develop a repeatable process to identify potential investment incentives, small or large, on a global basis and in a manner that enhances their ROI.
