The WTO Agreement, like the GATT, regulates these government practices under the title ‘Subsidy’. Although ‘tax incentives’ are adequate instruments to attract foreign investments, create job opportunities, and spread new projects in specific geographical areas, favorable tax treatment is one of the measures through which the subsidy can materialize. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to scrutinize the question when is tax incentive considered a subsidy from the WTO perspective? In short, every tax incentive is deemed a subsidy, but not every subsidy is prohibited under the WTO law. In order to challenge the tax incentive before the WTO Dispute Settlement Body some strict requirements must be met.
