abstract: 'There are a number of factors that can hinder the path of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
entrepreneurship development and the literature highlighted the fact
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
that taxes are one of the most important barriers for entrepreneurs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This paper aims at identifying the relationship between tax rates and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
entrepreneurship and to establish the impact of tax rates on
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
entrepreneurs considering their motivations (necessity, opportunity or
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
improvement-driven opportunity). The research focuses on a sample of 46
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
countries grouped according to their income level, for a period of eight
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
years (2012-2019). In order to test our hypotheses, we use multiple
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
linear regression based on balanced panel data and we consider, as
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
dependent variables, indicators that measure entrepreneurship and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
entrepreneurial motivations (early-stage entrepreneurial activity,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
necessity-driven entrepreneurs, opportunity-driven entrepreneurs,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
improvement-driven opportunity entrepreneurs, and motivational index).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As independent variables, we consider indicators that measure the tax
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
rates supported by entrepreneurs (total tax and contribution rate,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
profit tax, labor tax and contributions, and other taxes payable by
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
businesses). The results show that tax rates play a key role in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
fostering the creation of new companies. Moreover, the impact is
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
different, depending on the entrepreneurs'' motivations. Entrepreneurs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
motivated by necessity are positively related to total tax and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
contribution rate, while those motivated by opportunity are negatively
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
related with this indicator. Therefore, tax rates discourage the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
entrepreneurs that seek innovation, but they do not affect those that do
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
not have other options to obtain the necessary income for living.'
