In accordance, this study begins with an introduction of GIANT case to explain that creation is the one and only way to promote competitive ability, place greater emphasis on how important the R&D is. This study therefore, from the perspect of tax planning, aims to exam if there is a need to retain R&D in the new regulation through the use of the case study method. Firstly, sued cases were collected for years in the range 1991-2004 to report any violations of existing R&D policies for future amendment concerns. Secondly, this study investigates the effects of a taxable temporary difference, the time to invest in R&D, and the amount of R&D investment on tax planning. The results showed that for a greater tax reduction it is better to spending less on R&D during the first and second years, but more in the third year. Further, the R&D Tax Credit Scheme is found too preferential that some amendments are essential. Finally, higher R&D investment doesn’t present greater tax reduction. A systematic and rational tax plan, in opposition, broadens the tax base that benefits firms in tax reduction and being more competitive. Therefore, the R&D tax relief still needs to be retained.
