Frequently asked questions

Which incentives deals are monitored?

We include all types of fiscal incentives offered to companies to establish new operations or to expand an existing operation. To be included, the investment project must create new employment/retain existing and involve a certain amount of capital investment. The main types of incentives recorded are: tax rebate, grant or subsidy, loan or credit, and non-financial incentives, such as infrastructure development. Incentive packages offered but not accepted by a company and those which were subjected to clawbacks are included.

What information is captured?

For each deal a description of the incentive package is provided together with a general overview of the investment project. Key information is collected on the company making the investment, the sector, activity, and location of the investment at country, state, and city level.

The financial value of the incentives awarded is provided together with the job creation and/or capital investment being made by the company. The incentive programme and focus is also provided with a weblink to the programme for further information.

King White CEO, Site Selection Group

Thanks so much for providing the incentives research. It will clearly allow us to build a strategic position around where we make investments in the future.

Gary L Shope Chief of staff, Patheon

Economic incentives remain top of mind as companies contemplate relocation or expansion. Cash grants and tax credit offsets are of utmost importance in getting projects across the finish line and continue to be sought and understood earlier in the site selection process.
