Innovative development of Russia and the region is impossible without well-developed innovation infrastructure, and, in particular without those elements of it that provide financial support to innovative businesses. A special role is played by the public institutions aimed at promoting the innovation activity. The provision of tax incentives for innovative businesses should be considered as the most recent form of the govermnent support. This does not require the State to divert the existing financial resources but just not to take out the funds earned by the businesses.
The article shows that there are objectively determined boundaries of the economic feasibility of tax privilege for income tax for innovative businesses, whereby a balance of state interests and needs of businesses that implement innovative development programs is provided.
The authors have developed a method of rapid analysis of innovative programs of businesses, focused on practical application, that enables finding economic parameters under which the govermnent expenditure for financial support of businesses is compensated by the increase in payments to the income tax budget from those businesses. This method allows for formation of a normative structure that defines the border lines for Tax Incentives Economic Feasibility for supporting the innovation activities of businesses. These normative values are advisable to lay in the local nonnative acts that govern activities of govermnent agencies for financial support of businesses implementing the innovative programs. They are easy to use for conducting all sorts of competitions of the innovative businesses as well as for making decisions on the government support of modernization programs of production of industrial corporations.
Keywords: innovation, industry, innovation infrastructure, modernization, tax incentives, economic feasibility.
Nowadays innovation-based development is becoming more and more opportune for the Russian economy. The raw material orientation, which is traditional for the countiy, is going to be dominant for a rather long time, however there are problems and changes arising in this sphere. The cost of raw materials extraction is continuously rising. Exploration and development of new deposits are reducing due to their high capital intensity. Raw material buyers both in Russia and abroad find new sources of raw materials and energy, develop innovative technologies that allow them to reduce the resource consumption find alternative energy sources.
In this situation it is important to understand under what conditions investments in innovative development are appropriate today and what economic gain they can offer. A search for conditions and parameters that determine the economic feasibility of investment in innovations is necessary.
A number of legislative acts steering the govermnent and business towards innovative development have been adopted in Russia [14, 17]. Legislative support for innovative activities of businesses is also pro-

vided at the regional level (e.g., in the Perm Territory) [3, 4. 9, 10. 16, 17].
Innovative development is impossible without well-developed innovation infrastructure. Its role in the hierarchy of social and economic systems is well demonstrated in several research works [2, 6, 7].
A special role is played in innovation infrastructure by those elements that provide financial support for innovative activities of businesses - venture capital funds, private equity funds, various investment funds, private investors, as well as public institutions which provide financial support for innovative activities of businesses [1]. Most production managers believe that it state that plays the crucial role in increase in innovative activity of industrial enterprises. And it refers not only to direct budgetary subsidies, but also to such forms of financial support as tax incentives for innovative businesses. It should be noted that, for example, in the Perm Territory, such support lias been provided for several years in the form of income tax incentives, which is considered to be quite a successful experience. Relevant legislative acts were adopted at the regional level [5]. Nevertheless, the present situa-
tion in the innovation sector cannot be considered as successful.
We shall consider some statistical data on the present situation of innovation activity by the example of the Perm Territory, which is one of industrially developed regions of Russia [8, 12, 13].
The total amount of innovative products, works and services produced and performed in the region in 2010 is 59,551,200,000 rubles, which corresponds to 8.14% of the total amount of shipped products of businesses and organizations belonging to extractive and manufacturing industries, producing and distributing electric energy, gas and water. In 2012 this rate was slightly higher - 8.9%.
Among the organizations that have rendered accounts of their innovative activities, every fourth organization states that it has technological, procedural and product innovations. Among the businesses belonging to manufacturing industry, 26% of businesses implement technological innovations, 17% - procedural innovations and 19% - product innovations [18].
Adoption of innovative technologies is a long process, which sometimes lasts for many years. Statistics on duration of their adoption is given below [11]. Enterprises of the Perm Territory use about 5,300 of advanced manufacturing technologies. It took most of them (45.7% of the total number) six or more years to be adopted. 20.3% were adopted within 4-5 years, 22% - within 1-3 years, and only 12% of technologies, which makes one in ten, were adopted within one year [18].
It takes the least time to get advanced technologies adopted in communication and management (45.4% are implemented within the period that does not exceed three years) as well as in integrated management and control sphere (46%).
The degree of innovativeness of products manufactured by enterprises is reflected in an incremental price and profitability of sold products. Table 1 presents the data on profitability of Russian enterprises, which is calculated as a ratio of balance profit to amount of shipped products in percentage terms.

High profitability is demonstrated mainly by enterprises of base material sector: mining operations, metal industry, petrochemical industry. Businesses of non-base material sector have much lower profitability. In Russia there is also a high percentage of unprofitable businesses whose profitability is below zero. According to the data from the Russian Federal State Statistics Service, in the first quarter of 2013 it amounted 36.5%. Moreover, it had increased by 1.5% compared with the same period of 2012.
Increase in price and profitability of products is possible by means of production modernization and improvement of its consumer properties. In its turn, it requires significant investments including the government support for innovative programs of businesses and corporations.
Statistical data of enterprises of the Perm Territory indicate that financial sources of expenditures on technological innovations are almost exclusively internal funds of businesses and organizations. The share of the federal budget is only 3.2%. The share of local budgets is less than 1%.
The data stated above give some idea of actually existing relations among parameters that characterize innovative activities of businesses. Using those relations as guidelines, we will study the most typical
schemes of the government support for innovative businesses. The following shall be considered as such schemes:
- Income tax incentives for innovative businesses;
- Direct non-repayable government or public-private grants for implementation of innovative programs of businesses;
- Investments by buying blocks of stock of innovative businesses;
- Various combinations of ways of government and public-private support for innovative businesses.
It is obvious that today the most appropriate way of government support for innovative companies is provision of tax incentives for businesses that implement innovative programs. In this case, there is no need to divert financial resources of the state budget to support for innovative businesses; the only thing necessary is just not to take out a part of funds earned by companies that are to be transferred to the budget.
This article analyzes the above scheme. Research results for other schemes are given in other articles of the series of publications on economic feasibility of investment in innovations.
According to the given line of the research, this article is aimed at finding methods for determining boundaries of economic feasibility of income tax incentives for innovative businesses. It is necessary to find relatively simple-to-use methods of rapid analysis which will allow public authorities to make quick decisions 011 feasibility of providing tax incentives for businesses implementing innovative programs with no need for detailed study of those programs. These simple-to-use methods of expert assessments can be implemented into local regulations (for example at the regional level) governing a procedure of provision of financial support for innovative businesses. They are practical when conducting all sorts of tenders for innovative businesses seeking to get tax incentives [15], when distributing grants.
Analyzing the issue of provision of income tax incentives, it is necessary to consider the following: a scale of incentives shall be such one that would allow for compensation for loss of current tax revenues (from businesses enjoying tax incentives) due to the future increase in their amount. In other words, it is necessary to find boundary economic parameters under which the amount of tax incentives provided will be covered by the amount of additional tax revenues from the recipient of incentives to the budget.
Instead of a statutory income tax rate (S) businesses are offered an incentive rate, which is lower than the current rate (Si <S). The article describes a method of determi ning this incentive rate depending on parameters of profitability of the innovative program implemented by a business.
Innovative projects are implemented by businesses with different scales of production (large, medium and small). In order to obtain conclusions which are fair for businesses with different scales of production and sales activity, mainly relative values will be used. In this case, a universal rating of boundaries of economic feasibility of incentivization of businesses could be obtained.
Important parameters characterizing an innovative project are the period of its development and implementation (in years) - (T), as well as the period of sales of new (modernized) products, i.e. a period for obtaining additional profit after the project is implemented. Essentially, it is a life cycle of a modernized (new) product created as a result of implementation of an innovative project. The number of years during which this new product is in demand and is sold at a relevant market is denoted by (Ti).
We shall consider a correlation between the cost of creation of imiovations and possible profits from their implementation.
Let us assume that a business produces (and sells) V production units per year at a price of Z currency units a piece, at a self-cost of products of C currency units. In this case, profitability of the manufactured products (r) defined as a ratio of profit to the self-cost of the product in unit fraction is equal to: Z-C
r = —.
c
By implementing innovative programs, businesses achieve reduction of self-cost of products, im-
provement of their quality and other consumer properties. It is done for opportunity to sell better products at a higher price (Z,> Z) over the next few years (Ti). Due to the increase in price of the new (modernized) products, the profit per unit will increase by the difference in prices Zi - Z.
Improvement in quality of products requires use of new materials, new technologies and methods of production, which, in its turn, requires additional costs. Therefore, improvement in quality, while simultaneously reducing the self-cost, is rather a difficult goal. If costs remain at the same level, profitability will in-Z-C Zl-G

to r,
We suggest that
C C
ratio of products profitability before and after implementation of innovations should be called ratio of in-

crease in profitability of products (k = ).
r
If after implementation of innovations the self-cost of products also changes significantly (up to the level CI), the profit margin will be equal to r, _ Zl-Cl
_ CI •
Change of the self-cost must be considered while calculating profit margin of the upgraded product. It is necessary to introduce a parameter (q = C i /
rl
C) that takes this factor into account: k = CI
r
When using these ratios, profit per unit (before implementation of innovations) is defined as multiplication (rC) while profit after implementation is (rkC).
In case there is lack of internal funds, a question of state support comes up, particularly of the support in the form of tax benefits, which partially cover needs of an enterprise for implementation of an innovative project.
Let us consider a case when a company is provided with such a tax incentive. Instead of the current rate of income tax of 20% (S = 0,2), the company will pay it at the rate of S, <S.
The relief is granted for the period of innovations implementation. During this period (T) and the following years of sales of new products (TO the company will pay income tax at the rate of N] = rCVTSi + rkCVT'i S.
The next step is to compare this amount of tax payments to that company would have paid to the budget for the same period without introducing any innovative programs: N = rCV (T + TI,) S. If the amount of income tax payments to the budget in the case of innovations implementation is more than in the baseline case (without innovations implementation), the provision of tax relief is profitable for the state.
To achieve it, a relation Ni> N or rCVTSi + rkCVT, S > rCV(T+T, )S must hold true,
After converting this expression we will obtain a formula for calculating boundary values of a preferential income tax rate for innovative companies:
Si > S 1+ y(l-k)] (1)
If volume of production and sales of the upgraded product grows as a result of an innovative pro-
gram implementation, it is accessary to provide the last formula with a coefficient f = Vi / V, which takes into
account that Sj > S [l + y (1 — fk) j (2)
If income tax is calculated using the above formula, the amount of tax revenue to the budget is the same for the baseline case and the case of an innovative program implementation. It is the limit by which income tax rate can be reduced without any loss for the state budget.
The above formula is valid at constant prices and does not take an inflation factor into account. In actual practice, prices increase every year
The periods of development and implementation of innovations and subsequent sales of the new (upgraded) products often last many years. According to statistics, for most innovative projects the period of
implementation is up to 6 years, the following period of sales is also up to 6 years. So we consider a period of total duration of up to 12 years. In case of such a long period, impact of inflation processes is significant So it is necessary to take annual prices increase into account. Therefore, the following calculations are carried out basing on current prices increasing in line with the average annual inflation rate.
In Russia actual inflation rate amounted 6.45% in 2012 and 6.55% in 2013, so inflation is stuck at the level of 6.5%. To reflect the dynamics of inflationary price increase we will apply the factor of average amiual inflation rate: e = (1 + i /100).
If inflation i = 6.5% per year, e = 1+ 6.5 / 100
= 1.065.
The values of the multiplier which characterizes the price increase by year are presented in Table 2
Table 2
The price increase rate by year at the inflation level of 6.5% per year

The first line of the table is the number of the year from the start of an innovative program implementation. The second and third lines are for the quantity that characterizes increase in prices in the current year compared to the baseline (zero) year (before introduction of the innovation project). As the table shows, at the given level of inflation prices double every 11 years.
Using the factor of average annual inflation rate e = (1 + i / 100) we write down an expression for calculating the amount of income tax (N) for the years of innovations implementation (T): N = rCVSieAl + rCVSte'v" +....+iCVS,eaT = rCVSi (eAl+eA2+..,+eAl)
Here 1,2... T is the exponent showing to which power inflation rate (e) is raised to determine the level of increase in prices in the first, second, ..., T-th years of implementation of an innovation program.
Let us denote the chain of coefficients reflecting annual inflationary price increases by E = e'-;r+eA2+.. ,+eAT. Then N = rCVS, E.
The amount of payments of corporate income tax to the budget (Ni) for the years of sales of upgraded products (Ti) when profitability of the products increased by (k) times makes:
Ni = rkCVSeAT+1 + rCVSeAT+- +....+ rCVSeAT+T1 = rCVS(eAT+1+eAT+2+...+eAT+T1).
Let us denote the expression in brackets by E,. Then N, = rkCVSE,
In the baseline case (without introduction of any innovations) the expression for calculating amount of income tax (No) for the entire period under review (T + Tl years) is defined by correlation:
No = rCVSeA' + rCVSeA2 + ....+ rCVSeAT+T1 = rCVS(eAl+eA2+...+eAT+T1).
Let us denote the sequence of summands in brackets by Eo. In this case the formula for calculating income tax in the baseline case will be as follows: No = rCVSEo.
In order to prevent reduction of tax revenues to the budget, amount of income tax (in case of introduction of innovations) should not be lower than tax payments in the baseline case (without imiovations) Tliis correlation is written as N + Nl> No, or: rCVSiE + rkCVSE i > rCVSEo.
After converting this expression we will get a formula for calculating preferential income tax rate at which the condition of the break-even budget is fulfilled while participants of innovative activities are
[ Eo-kEl]
provided with tax concessions: Si > S
Considering that Eo = E + E1 or El =Eo - E we obtain a more convenient expression (with fewer
f . EG (1-k) 1 coefficients): Si > S k HI----J (3)
This formula is valid for the cases when production volume of new (upgraded) products remains at the same level. We believe that the market for products manufactured by an enterprise is mainly divided among rival companies and sales gain is unlikely.
If production volumes change significantly (after introduction of an innovative project), it is neces-saiy to introduce a coefficient that takes this condition into account and is equal to the ratio between production volumes before and after the introduction of an innovative program: f = VI / V.
In this case the expression for the calculating f , - . Eo (1-kf) 1 Si will be as follows: St > S KI 4----J (4)
Economically viable rates of incentivization, while all other conditions being equal, depend on the ratio of increase in profitability of production through introduction of an innovative program (k).

Fig. 1. Area of admissible and unprofitable values of a rate of income tax
Each line displays values of the maximum allowable quantities of preferential income tax rate depending on the ratio of profitability of production (k) considering the period of introduction of an innovative program T = 3 years and values of the period of sales of revised products - T, - given in the table. The uppermost line (2) displays the case when the period of sales of upgraded products is 2 years. Below this line, there are parameters for cases when this period is 3, 4, 5 and 6 years.
Above the corresponding straight line, there is a range of acceptable values of preferential income tax rate. At these values the amount of revenue short-received by the budget due to provision of tax benefits is recovered. Below there is a region of unprofitable values Sj. at which provision of benefits is not profitable for the state or a region.
The resulting method of determining preferential income tax rate allows for performing a strategic
Coefficients E and Eo at the
rapid analysis of innovative projects presented by enterprises that expect to receive tax reliefs in order to implement their innovative programs.
This method is convenient since minimum information is enough for express-evaluation of any innovative project - it is only necessary to know three figures: increase in profitability of products manufactured by an enterprise which is achieved during implementation of the project (k); the terms of development and implementation of the project (T); period of sales of the updated production (Ti). which characterizes its life cycle.
Parameters that reflect rate of inflation, at its today's level of 6.5% per year, are presented in a reference table 3, from which we can take coefficients necessary for calculating Eo and E depending on the combinations of the terms of implementation of innovative projects (T) and upgraded product sales period (Ti).

As mentioned above, the values used in the calculations (ratio of increase in profitability, preferential income tax rate) are relative. Therefore, the re-
ceived findings and methods of calculation are simple-to-use and universal. They are suitable for any scale of investment and valid for businesses with different scale
of production: small, medium and large. In essence, the relations received are standards that determine boundaries of economic feasibility of incentivization for innovative activities. It is advisable to include these regulatory values in local normative acts governing activities of government agencies in financial support for innovative development of enterprises.
For example, table 4 shows boundary values of preferential income tax rate for all possible combinations of a project implementation periods (T up to 6 years) and an updated product sales periods (T] up to 6 years) at the given value of the parameter k, which characterizes the increase in profitability of updated products sales.

6 18.8% 17.4% 16.0% 14.5% 12.9% 11.2%
The above methods allow us to find boundaries of break-even incentivization provided for enterprises implementing innovative programs by the state.
However, taking a decision on granting tax exemptions the state can expect a higher level of profitability rather than just recoupment of a project. For example, it can aim at getting an additional ruble of tax revenues in the future per each ruble that wasn't received by the budget during the years of granting tax benefits.
In this case, it is necessary to introduce an index of required level of profitability (d) into the formu-la for calculating preferential income tax rate (Si). It is

Fig. 2 shows a finitary spread of straight lines, each of which cuts the range of permissible values of preferential income tax rate (Si), at which the required level of profitability (d) is achieved, which is equal in this example to 1.3 ruble of tax revenues per every ruble of provided tax benefits.

Thus, the range of permissible values of preferential income tax rate (Si), which provide a yield of
1.3 monetary units per one unit of investment, at the duration of revised production sales of 6 years is locat-
ed above line 6, and the range of permissible values Si for the duration of revised production sales of 2 years is located above line 2.
As a result of studying the issue the following conclusions can be drawn:
- Providing tax incentives should be considered as the most appropriate form of government support for innovative companies under current conditions. It does not require diversion of the state's existing financial resources, as businesses keep a part of earned resources which previously had to be transferred to the budget.
- There are objectively determined boundaries of economic feasibility of income tax incentives for innovative businesses, which provide a balance between public interests and needs of businesses implementing innovative development programs.
- Preferential income tax rate should be determined with the proviso that government expenditures on financial support for enterprises are compensated by an increase in payments of income tax from those enterprises to the budget. This is the bottom boundary to which income tax rate can be reduced without any losses for the state budget.
- The above principle is implemented in the method for rapid analysis of innovative programs of enterprises offered in this paper. It is focused on practical application and can be recommended for use at the level of regional public institutions and structures aimed at innovative activity stimulating.
- The ratios we get using this method are standards that determine boundaries of economic feasibility of investment to innovations. It is reasonable to include these normative values in local regulations governing activities of government agencies in financial support for innovative activity of enterprises. They are practical when conducting all sorts of competitions among innovative businesses, when distributing budgetary funds on a competitive basis, when taking decisions on giving grants to innovative enterprises.
- In case of providing tax incentives, it is only necessary for the state to ensure verification of the compliance of business activities with the obligations, which can be done through periodical monitoring of the level of actual profitability presented in official accounting and statistical reports of the businesses.
