About this report

Taxation and economic incentives We advocate for tax policies and economic incentives that encourage innovation, growth, and job creation worldwide. In the United States, we continue to support federal tax reform, and successfully advocated for the simplification and extension of the R&D tax credit, made permanent by Congress at the end of 2015. Internationally, we monitor and engage on tax reform proposals through the Group of Twenty (G20) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Political engagement HP will continue working with key public officials to promote thought leadership, our role as an exemplary global citizen, and the HP brand. We are exploring options for the ideal political contributions engagement structure for the new company. HP does not currently have a political action committee (PAC). In the United States, in past years Hewlett-Packard Company made a limited number of political contributions to further its public policy agenda. All Hewlett-Packard Company political endorsements and contributions were required to be authorized by the vice president of government relations as part of political programs reviewed by the Company’s Board of Directors. In 2015, Hewlett-Packard Company and the Hewlett-Packard Company PAC 1 contributed a total of $787,725 to U.S. federal, state, and local candidates, political memberships/ sponsorships, and other ballot measure campaigns. See historical political contributions data below. Learn more on our Government Relations website.
