Taxes are among the key economic instruments by means of which the state fulfils its functions in the economy. Depending on the relation of an object of taxation to a source of tax, two tax types are distinguished: direct taxes, where the nominal (formal) and real taxpayers are clearly identical, and indirect taxes, where such identity is not present, i.e., a formal source of a tax is not the same as its real source. This paper intends to discuss the fiscal significance of indirect taxes to the state budget. The analysis implies the indirect taxes generate high budget receipts not only at times of economic growth but also during economic crises. In 2016-2020, indirect taxation accounted for the largest proportion (an average of 70%) of all the state budget?s tax revenue. A dominant status of the value added tax among the overall income of the state budget could be noted as well. It constituted 44% of the total income on average at the time. In addition, the results of a correlation matrix show a strong link between the state budget revenue and indirect taxes. A statistical analysis affirms the research hypothesis that indirect taxation has a considerable impact on the state budget?s revenue.

This article aims to analyze and evaluate tax policy of 10 post communist countries of the EU, especially the Slovak Republic and Czech Republic, during the their first 5 years in the community (Bulgaria and Romania, which joined later, are not members throughout the analysis period) through the development of their tax revenues. Data to analyze are the data of the European Commission (European Commission, 2010) for the years 2003 to 2008. The subject of analysis is the total tax burden and the tax structure, i.e. direct and indirect taxes, VAT, excise tax, environmental taxes, personal income tax and corporation tax. The analysis uses charts of the development of the monitored values.Overall, it is possible to say that although the 10 post-communist countries joined the European Union in the same period (2004 and 2007, respectively), and although in general these countries face similar problems in the economic and tax policies, their response to internal and external influences in area of tax revenues and mix are very often different. This is due to both their historical and cultural traditions, so the current specifics.

The tax system of the European Union is not coherent, since it consists of twenty five national tax systems of the individual member states. The extraordinary importance of adaptation measures with regard to VAT results from at least a few reasons. Reason number one is the fact that it constitutes an efficient, dependable and very stable source of income for the national budgets in all EU member states. The second reason is the key role of this tax as a primary instrument of ensuring proper conditions for the free movement of goods, services and capital on the European Common Market based on rules of fair competition. The third reason are the manifold non-fiscal effects this tax brings about both for business entities and natural persons/households. The present work is devoted to the function of VAT in European Union countries. A detailed analysis of the rate structure and the VAT objective scope, as well as the importance of this tax for the budget income of the Community states has been performed.

System podatkowy Unii Europejskiej nie jest systemem jednolitym bowiem składa się z dwudziestu pięciu krajowych systemów podatkowych państw członkowskich. Wyjątkowa waga działań dostosowawczych w sferze podatku VAT wynika z kilku co najmniej powodów. Pierwszym jest fakt, że jest on wydajnym, pewnym i bardzo stabilnym źródłem dochodów dla budżetów krajowych we wszystkich państwach członkowskich UE. Drugim jest kluczowa rola tego podatku jako głównego instrumentu zapewniającego warunki swobodnego, opartego na zasadach uczciwe konkurencji przepływu towarów, usług i kapitału na wspólnym rynku europejskim. Trzecim powodem są wielorakie pozafiskalne skutki, jakie ten podatek wywołuje zarówno dla podmiotów gospodarczych, jak i osób fizycznych oraz gospodarstw domowych. Niniejsza praca poświęcona jest problematyce funkcjonowania podatku VAT w krajach Unii Europejskiej. Szczegółowej analizie poddana została struktura stawek i zakres przedmiotom podatku VAT oraz znaczenie tego podatku dla dochodów budżetowych państw Wspólnoty.

The paper discusses selected issues related to fiscal burden placed on the Polish families in light of concerns over Poland’s falling fertility rate which belongs to the lowest in the UE and the world. The author claims that one of the major reasons for that is an inefficient support to the families with children. This article analyses whether the fiscal system in Poland distinguishes people who bear significant costs associated with raising children. It presents Poles’ tax burden on labour income through the example of the largest group of taxpayers paying taxes under the relevant income tax scale, the scope of direct financial support to Polish families, as well as their fiscal burden associated with direct taxes.

The aim of the article is to identify the extent to which the price index in the EU countries was shaped by changes in indirect tax rates. In order to ensure the comparability of data, the analysis was based on the harmonised index of consumer prices (HICP) and the harmonised index of consumer prices at constant tax rates (HICP-CT). Six countries with the biggest difference between the HICP and HICP-CT were selected for an in-depth analysis of changes in VAT and excise duties: Romania, Hungary, Greece and the Baltic countries. The study covered the 2007–2016 period. On the basis of the study one can conclude that the structure of the tax system with a high proportion of indirect taxes equips fiscal authorities with tools to influence the prices.

Celem artykułu jest rozpoznanie, w jakim stopniu w krajach UE poziom wskaźnika cen był kształtowany pod wpływem zmian stawek podatków pośrednich. W celu porównywalności danych analizę przeprowadzono w oparciu o zharmonizowany wskaźnik cen konsumpcyjnych (HICP) oraz zharmonizowany wskaźnik cen konsumpcyjnych przy stałych stawkach podatkowych (HICP-CT). Do pogłębionych analiz, mających na celu rozpoznanie wprowadzonych zmian stawek VAT i podatku akcyzowego, wybrano sześć krajów, dla których różnica między HICP a HICP-CT była najwyższa: Rumunia, Węgry, Grecja i kraje nadbałtyckie. Obserwacją objęto dekadę 2007–2016. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań można wnioskować, że struktura systemu podatkowego, z wysokim udziałem podatków pośrednich, wyposaża władze fiskalne w istotne możliwości kształtowania poziomu cen.

The aim of the paper is an attempt to examine changes in structure of tax state budget revenues in selected countries of Central and Eastern Europe, in particular in the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary, and to signal trends in fiscal policy in these countries. Working hypothesis assumes a  decline in the importance of direct taxes in supplying the state budget. The method of research is to extract tax revenue sources of the state budget (direct and indirect taxes) and to estimate changes in their structure. The study covered the period from 2000 until 2010, that is before and during the financial crisis, where year 2010 is the last of available data. Data used for the study come from the publication of the European Statistical Office.

This paper aims to assess the impact of the effective and nominal household tax burden on household deposits in Ukrainian banks. We used the effective tax burden, which includes personal income taxes and value-added tax (VAT) paid. We considered changes in Ukrainian tax law from 2003 to 2016, which included a change from progressive income taxation to proportional income taxation, a decrease in tax rates in 2003, and an increase in tax rates in 2014–2016. The data sample consists of publicly available data on Ukrainian households’ income, savings, and taxes paid in 1996–2019. The analysis was performed using panel regression and the difference-in-difference (DID) method. The tax burden impact on bank deposits is significant and is caused partly by the shadow economy. The results of the study are relevant for Ukraine and countries with similar economies. The methodological approaches developed in the paper can be used for similar studies in other developing countries.

This general report is the result of the international conference The Transformation of Tax Systems in the CEE and BRICS Countries – 25 years of experience and future challenges organized by the Centre of Tax Documentation and Studies in Lodz, in cooperation with the International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation (IBFD) in Amsterdam, Foundation of the Centre of Tax Documentation and Studies and the Polish Branch of International Fiscal Association (IFA). The conference was held on 9 and 10 October 2015 on the premises of the Faculty of Law and Administration of the University of Lodz. The report deals with the general and specific legal and tax policy aspects of the transformation of tax systems in countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) in the years 1990–2015 in different areas of tax law: substantive, procedural and international. The future challenges for the tax laws in these countries are also covered. Identifying experience of the BRICS countries in the field of transformation of tax systems and contemporary and future challenges of these systems, is a necessary step in a quest for creating better tax legislation, more suited to the needs of taxpayers and tax administration in the modern economy. Among other things, the following issues are discussed: relations between constitutional and tax law, standards of tax legislative process, concepts and standards of national policies, the problem of tax resistance, importance and construction of different types of taxes, tax aspects of Research and Developments and other tax incentives, as well as types of available tax rulings and procedural guarantees of taxpayers’ rights and their effectiveness. Moreover, the role and importance of unilateral, bilateral and multilateral measures against double taxation, including the impact of the OECD Model Convention on Income and Capital, UN Model Convention between Developed and Developing Countries and the OECD/G20 BEPS Action Plan are highlighted.

Niniejszy raport generalny powstał jako rezultat międzynarodowej konferencji nt. The Transformation of Tax Systems in the CEE and BRICS Countries – 25 years of experience and futu­re challenges zorganizowanej przez Centrum Dokumentacji i Studiów Podatkowych Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego we współpracy z Międzynarodowym Biurem Dokumentacji Podatkowej w Amsterdamie (International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation (IBFD) in Amsterdam), Fundacją Centrum Doku­mentacji i Studiów Podatkowych, Polskim Oddziałem Międzynarodowego Stowarzyszenia Podat­kowego (Polish Branch of International Fiscal Association, IFA). Konferencja ta odbyła się w dniach 9–10 października 2015 r. na Wydziale Prawa i Administracji Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego. Raport dotyczy ogólnych i szczegółowych aspektów transformacji systemów podatkowych i polity­ki podatkowej w państwach BRICS (Brazylia, Rosja, Indie, Republika Południowej Afryki) w latach 1990–2015 w różnych obszarach prawa podatkowego: materialnego, proceduralnego oraz międzyna­rodowego. W raporcie zidentyfikowano także przyszłe wyzwania stojące przez systemami podatkowy­mi państw BRICS. Zidentyfikowanie doświadczeń państw BRICS na polu transformacji ich systemów podatkowych oraz przyszłych wyzwań jest krokiem niezbędnym na drodze do tworzenia lepszej le­gislacji podatkowej, przystającej do potrzeb podatników i administracji podatkowej we współczesnym świecie. W raporcie omówiono m.in. zagadnienia związane z relacjami między prawem konstytucyj­nym a prawem podatkowym, standardy legislacji podatkowej, standardy i koncepcje polityki podat­kowej państw BRICS, problematykę oporu podatkowego, znaczenie i konstrukcję poszczególnych podatków, podatkowe aspekty zachęt podatkowych dla działalności badawczej i rozwojowej i innych ulg podatkowych, a także rodzajów interpretacji przepisów prawa podatkowego, proceduralnych gwarancji ochrony praw podatników i ich skuteczności. Ponadto w raporcie przeanalizowano rolę i znaczenie jednostronnych, dwustronnych i wielostronnych środków zapobiegających podwójnemu opodatkowaniu, w tym wpływ Konwencji Modelowej OECD w sprawie podatku od dochodu i kapita­łu, Konwencji Modelowej ONZ w sprawie unikania podwójnego opodatkowania między państwami rozwiniętymi a rozwijającymi się oraz OECD/G20 Planu Działań BEPS.
