There are controversies regarding existing estimates of the size of shadow economy in Poland. Therefore this paper focuses on the measurement of shadow economy in Poland over the period 1995-2007. On the basis of monetary methods, an econometric model for currency demand is built. Using estimation results, the size of shadow economy is assessed. According to the estimates shadow economy declined in the period 1995-2007 starting from 40% of GDP in 1995 and reaching about 10% of GDP in 2007. The paper also analyses relations between shadow economy, state budget and tax system. A Vector Autoregressive model is estimated and Impulse Reaction Functions are drown, showing that an increase in indirect tax burden enlarges shadow economy. A contrary effect arises due to an increase in: a) direct tax burden; b) budget balance.

The aim of the report is to evaluate the level of innovativeness of the Polish economy, to make comparisons with other Member States of the European Union, to determine reasons and to propose remedies. The research was carried out on the basis of international statistical data and Polish and foreign literature. The results obtained by the authors led them to conclusions that the Polish economy is not innovative enough and is modernizing very slowly. The reasons of such situation are many. First of all Poland does not possess an adequate telecommunication infrastructure. Next reason is lack of appropriate human resources. The age structure of technical personnel is very disadvantageous, the number of scientists and engineers in the age between 35 and 44 is very small, and young scientists and engineers choose emigration. Polish universities have inadequate personnel, inadequate access to the latest international scientific literature and do not co-operate with industry. As a result Polish universities are placed in very low positions in international rankings. Poland does not guarantee appropriate level of protection of intellectual property. Delayed court proceedings are also a big problem. Polish tax system does not support innovation, and the Polish state insufficiently invests in science. If adequate steps are not taken, Poland will never become an innovative country, which would endanger its development, and its economic growth. The only chance for Poland is immediate reform of public finances, reduction of social transfers, investments in research, reform of judicial system, and reform of the whole education system.

Taxes harmonization is one of the elements of the ongoing integration process within the European Union. Among the arguments for the harmonization of taxes, among other things, some indicates simplification of the tax records and more effective functioning of the internal market by the neutralization of taxes in the trade and capital flow area. However, practice shows that taxes harmonization is arousing a lot of excitement, and extremely complicated process. To date attempts to harmonize taxes have encountered resistance from the Member States, as an expression of hostility to the loss of sovereignty in the tax policy sphere. In this article the author attempts to answer the question whether taxes harmonization in the European Union is possible at all. It analyzes actions taken so far in the area of harmonization and their impact on the effective functioning of the uniform internal market.

Since the mid-1990s, many Southern and Eastern European and Asian countries have decided to change their tax system. With Estonia taking the lead in 1994, many of those countries implemented a flat tax in different variants. Slovakia, formed after the split up of the former Czechoslovakia in 1993, and until that time known more as a tourist destination than a place that could attract the attention of businessmen or economists, was also among those countries. The tax reform enacted in October 2003, which assumed the introduction of a flat tax for personal and company tax, as well as VAT (all at 19%) captured the attention of the entire world, making Slovakia a country with comprehensive tax reform to introduce a simpler and fairer tax. This paper evaluates this reform, starting with a short characterisation of the flat tax then moving on to describe the basic assumptions of the Slovakian reform and their results.

The Teutonic Order, as an institution acting both in the sacrum and profane spheres, permanently influenced the economic development not only of Western Europe, where its centers were located, but also and even more importantly Prussian territory, and by virtue of the trade the knights carried out, the whole of Europe. The fiscal and monetary policy of the Teutonic Order was treated instrumentally by the organisation’s authorities. It helped the Order to achieve its primary goals, namely the power of community and the wealth that grew out of it. A stable currency and adapting of the tax system to the prevailing socio-economic conditions were not favourable enough circumstances for the Order to make the reforms required to not only progress but also ensure the stable functioning of the body politic. The worsened economic situation, deteriorating at the hands of war, revealed negligence in handling monetary stability and the already too high tax burden increased recession, which contributed to the fall of the Order and the secularisation of the state. The efficient rule of the monastic state observed until the 14th century was complemented by equally efficient monetary and tax policy, and benefited the order in that it induced general economic growth in Prussia. However, the lack of suitable tax reforms and inappropriate measures in the monetary sphere by depreciation and deterioration of money in the 15th and 16th centuries led to the gradual fall of the monastic state.
