- Abstract
R&D investment costs a lot of funds, which is the fundamental driving force to maintain enterprise competitiveness and innovation ability. As a rigid expenditure of enterprises, tax revenue will reduce the free cash flow of enterprises to a certain extent. The relationship between the degree of enterprise tax burden and its R&D activities is worth further exploration. This paper constructs a regression model based on the data of listed GEM companies from 2010 to 2020 and examines the relationship between the enterprise's total tax burden and its R&D investment. Empirical research has shown that an increase in the total tax burden of enterprises will negatively affect innovation investment activities to a certain extent. It is also found by further testing the enterprise age that the tax burden has a greater impact on R&D innovation activities for younger companies.
