Assesment of technopole activities with respect to Tax law

The investigations based upon science and technologies are mostly performed in the universities and the high technology institutes. Technology development zones are the centers which have been come to the fore recently. The studies performed in these centers such as research-development (R&D) and design activities are supported by the tax advantages which have determinative importance on the corporate and income taxes being in the first place with regards to the applicable law. The privileges and exceptions obtained for the technopoles have the effects on R&D development level as well as different scales economic progress and productivity. In this thesis, technopole activities are appraised with respect to tax law. From the science and technology politics, it is necessary to address the expense and the resource allocation of R&D activities based on strategic targets and new technologies like artificial intelligence. As for that tax law and tax policy, it should be eliminated the legal uncertainties and differences in practice like diversity in value-added tax applications. From this aspect, it is required to update the fiscal regulations based on the current variations. Consolidating the qualified technical and academic staff working at higher education with technopole studies comes into prominence as a development parameter. However, it should be noticed as a negative effect that the technopole activities could turn up unrestrained commercialization pressure over the universities.
