The implied tax subsidy rates on R&D expenditures for profitable large firms in Japan are forecasted to slightly decline in 2024, with a rate of -0.02, and to stabilize at -0.03 from 2025 to 2028. In 2023, the subsidy rate was more favorable, indicating a decreasing trend. The variation from 2023 to 2024 shows a small downward trend, and the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years suggests a stable but negative trend.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential policy changes in R&D subsidies that might improve rates.
