Abstract

This study examines the status quo of the support system for companies of persons with disabilities in Korea, and then estimates the corporate income tax reduced from a special taxation system, same as one applied to social enterprises and standard workplace for persons with disabilities, using 「Data for registered companies of persons with disabilities」(2020.6) by the Disable Enterprise Business Center. Now companies of persons with disabilities have more than 87% in the business continuity rate, and their employment rate of the average rate for 2015-2017 is higher than public institutions and private companies, which is in line with the government's employment promotion policy for the disabled. However, article 14 (Support in Taxation) of the 「Act On The Facilitation Of Entrepreneurial Activities Of Persons With Disabilities」 is still declarative and optional. Meanwhile, the corporate income tax reduced by a simulation method was calculated to be about KRW 130.1 billion for 5 years (KRW 26.02 billion per year). In this context, when comparing the tax revenue to be reduced with a positive effect by securing the effectiveness of Article 14, it can be said that the tax support for companies of persons with disabilities is feasible.

본 연구는 우리나라의 장애인기업 지원제도의 현황을 살펴보고, 장애인기업종합지원센터가 2020년 6월 공표한 「장애인등록기업 분석자료」로서 현재 사회적기업과 장애인 표준사업장에 대해 적용되고 있는 조세특례제도를 동일하게 장애인 기업에 시행할 것이라는 전제하에서 장애인기업들의 조세특례지원액을 추계하는 것에 목적이 있다. 장애인기업의 영업 지속률이 87% 이상이고, 2015년-2017년 3년 평균 기준 장애인기업들의 장애인 고용률이 공공기관의 10.7배, 민간기업들의 20.3배에 이를 정도로 높아 정부의 장애인고용촉진정책과 부합한다는 점 등에 비추어 현재 선언적이고 임의조항에 불과한 「장애인기업활동촉진법」 제14조에 대한 실효성 확보로 유발될 수 있는 장애인들의 경제적 자립과 그로 인한 소득증대 효과를 모의실험(Simulation)기법을 사용하여 추계한 세수감소액 규모(5년간 약 1,301억원, 연 260.2억원)와 비교할 때, 장애인기업에 대한 세제지원의 타당성은 있다고 판단된다.
