Abstract

The State can adopt intervention measures in the economy, among which, indirect intervention through tax benefits stands out, with the purpose of attracting investments or directing the behavior of economic agents. However, it is essential to analyze the legal foundations that support the measure, as well as the objectives it pursues, but it is also important to understand the direct and indirect effects that tax incentives can have on competition. Competition and competitiveness are directly affected by tax incentives, as these interfere in the market dynamics and in the behavior of economic agents. A more global understanding of tax incentives and their socioeconomic effects, more specifically under competition, is needed to determine the real effectiveness of these interventions and if indeed these are needed.
