14 Direct financial incentives provide direct monetary assistance to a business from the local government or through a local government funded organization. The assistance is provided through grants, loans, equity investments, loan insurance and guarantees. These programs generally address business financing needs but also may be invested in workforce training, market development, modernization, and technology commercialization activities. Cash grants provide the greatest flexibility and immediate benefit to the company by reducing capital outlays. However, loans, bonds, and equity financing are commonly used to make resources available with an expectation that the dollars will be returned for future investments. Another important category of direct financial incentives is in the area of training subsidies. Other forms of direct financial incentive include revolving loan funds, product development corporations, seed capital funds, and venture funds. These programs directly supplement market resources through public lending authorities and banks. Direct financial incentives are typically discretionary. 14
15 Indirect incentives include grants and loans to local government entities, non profits, and community organizations to support and promote business investment or develo pment. The recipients include communities, financial institutions, universities, community college s, training providers, venture capital investors, and childcare providers. In many cases the funds are tied to one or more specific business locations or expansion projects. Other programs are targeted toward addressing the general needs of the business community, including infrastructure, technical training, new and improved highway access, airport expansions and other facilities. Funds are provided to the intermediaries in the form of grants, loans, and loan guarantees. Indirect incentives may also be used to leverage private investment in economic development. For instance, linked deposit programs in which local government funds are deposited in a local financial institution in exchange for providing capital access or subsidized interest rates top qualified business borrowers. Indirect financial incentives are typically discretionary. 15
16 Taxbased Incentives Use the tax code (or tax base) as the source of direct or indirect subsidy to qualified businesses. It is more stable and less visible than direct financial or indirect incentives because it does not typically require an annual appropriation. Tax based incentives can be either discretionary or entitlements. While tax based incentives function like direct financial incentives, the ubiquitous use of these incentives justifies a separate categorization. Tax based incentives can be further classified into five sub categories: CREDITS, which provide a reduction in taxes due, after verification that statutory or contractual terms have been met. REFUNDS, which provide a return on taxes paid, after verification that statutory or contractual terms have been met. EXEMPTIONS, which provide freedom from payment of a variety of taxes normally applied to certain business activities. LOCAL PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENTS or ASSESSMENT REDUCTIONS, which reduce or decrease the assessed valuation of ad valorem taxes, to include real property and personal property. Because the ad valorem tax is a local government revenue source, the cost of the incentive is borne by local governments. 16
