Statement of Purpose
The purpose of the Silicon Valley Tax Directors
Group is to promote sound, long-term tax policies
that support the global competitiveness of the U.S.
high technology industry. Members of this group
believe that tax policies should enhance opportunities
for productivity growth by encouraging and rewarding
enterprises that develop goods and services that meet
Worldwide Totals for Companies Repre-
international market standards.
sented by Group Members The companies represented by the group are dependent on
research and development in order to remain on the cutting edge
of technology innovation and to compete in the international
REVENUE market place. Likewise, due to the large expenditures on research
and development, it is necessary to maintain worldwide sales
$1,235,341,091,000 levels. (Approximately half of all U.S. high technology revenue
comes from international sales.)

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT We believe that long-term tax policies should enhance
$109,004,986,000 and support productivity by:
1 Stimulating increased research and development.

2 Making it easier for U.S. corporations to compete

EMPLOYEES internationally.
3 Encouraging investment in capital assets.
2,557,368 4 Bolstering efforts to develop and reward a skilled
U.S. workforce.

SVTDG MEMBERS Our purpose is to strive for the implementation of long-

term tax policies that will allow the U.S. high technology
95 industry to continue to be innovative and competitive in
the global marketplace.
