Money is fungible there’s zero difference between a tax break for 100$ and handing out 100$ directly.
Are you asserting that software and other labor-heavy startups should raise additional private capital so that they can pay taxes before they’ve established themselves in the marketplace? I’m not sure what you mean to say exactly.
I’m saying investers should pay the full cost of R&D without assistance from taxpayers.
When the non R&D portion of the business is profitable they should start paying taxes. Assuming a company isn’t miss classifying operations as R&D it shouldn’t be a major issue.
