Tax incentive
From ACT Wiki
1. Tax and treasury.
Tax incentives usually are tax-beneficial legal structures, designated physical locations, investments, activities, financial arrangements or instruments that are intended by the revenue authority to give exemption from - or reduce liability to - different forms of taxation.
Tax incentives are designed by the tax rule-setting authorities to encourage particular wanted activities, contrasted with unintended tax "loopholes" and over-aggressive tax planning.
This kind of tax incentives are also known informally as tax breaks.
2.
Additional tax - or less favourable tax treatment - attaching to activities, or omissions, that the tax rule-setting authority wants to discourage.
