Corporate income tax is an important part of the tax system. It is also important source of budget revenues. In the European Union, Corporate Income Tax is not strictly standardised, which allows the governments of individual countries to pursue their own policy in this regard. The purpose of this paper is to identify similarities and differences in Corporate Income Tax and its construction in Poland and compare it with French, British and German CIT's. In this article subject, object and rates of the tax were presented, which vary depending on the country. Another important part of this work is to present the taxation of dividends in studied countries. Taxation of dividends is a controversial phenomenon and this is the reason why it is often mentioned by economists and politicians. The article also present the share of the corporate income tax in total tax revenues and total budget revenues.(original abstract)

The aim of this paper is to identify the impacts of different taxes and expenditures on economic growth. The research is focused on 20 selected European Union Member States. These countries are equally divided into four groups based on their average tax burden as presented in the World Tax Index. A comparison of fiscal attributes among these groups is important for the analysis. Annual government finance data from the years 1995 to 2012 are used for an empirical study. The indicators observed are real GDP change, the composition and volume of total government expenditures, tax quotas of individual taxes and total budget balance. These indicators are used within an endogenous growth model together with capital stock and an approximation of human capital. A panel regression with fixed effects is used as an analytic tool. The main results are that an increase in social contributions, property, production and personal income tax quotas has an adverse effect on economic growth.

W artykule oceniono regulacje podatkowe w polskich podatkach dochodowych, umożliwiające zaistnienie efektu klienteli. Oceny dokonano, opierając się na rozwiązaniach teoretycznych. Odwoływały się one do regulacji podatkowych w USA, które stały się drugim układem odniesienia w opracowaniu. Skoncentrowano się głównie na opodatkowaniu dywidend i zysków kapitałowych w polskich podatkach dochodowych, naszkicowano też zmiany opodatkowania w tym obszarze w ostatnich dekadach.

In the paper there have been presented and estimated the tax regulations concerning Polish income taxes enabling the formation of the clientele effect. The estimation has been done on the basis of theoretical consideration. It referred to the tax regulation in the USA, which became another point of reference except for the theoretical solutions. The main idea of the paper was to concentrate on the taxation of dividend and capital gains in Polish income taxes. The changes in the taxation in the discussed area have been outlined for the last decades.

The basic premise of the introduction of new regulations in the European financial market is to ensure the stability of its operation and to prevent the occurrence of further crises. Taking into account the fact that the effects of past actions taken by governments to improve the situation on the domestic markets are far from desirable, and increasingly louder and boldly began to pull out additional tax demand of institutions conducting banking activities and the creation of the European Union on the basis of the bank. The article attempts to evaluate the proposed solutions in the context of possible economic consequences. Centralize management functions global financial market will be a reality, but the process will be gradual. The introduction of a financial transaction tax on a global scale requires a longer time horizon necessary to carry out the appropriate procedures and implement them in practice.

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the impact of individual types of taxes on the economic growth by utilizing regression analysis on the OECD countries for the period of 2000–2011. The impact of taxation is integrated into growth models by its impact on the individual growth variables, which are capital accumulation and investment, human capital and technology. The analysis in this paper is based on extended neoclassical growth model of Mankiw, Romer and Weil (1992), and for the verification of relation between taxation and economic growth the panel regression method is used. The taxation rate itself is not approximated only by traditional tax quota, which is characteristic by many insufficiencies, but also by the alternative World Tax Index which combines hard and soft data. It is evident from the results of both analyses that corporate taxation followed by personal income taxes and social security contribution are the most harmful for economic growth. Concurrently, in case of the value added tax approximated by tax quota, the negative impact on economic growth was not confirmed, from which it can be concluded that tax quota, in this case as the indicator of taxation, fails. When utilizing World Tax Index, a negative relation between these two variables was confirmed, however, it was the least quantifiable. The impact of property taxes was statistically insignificant. Based on the analysis results it is evident that in effort to stimulate economic growth in OECD countries, economic-politic authorities should lower the corporate taxation and personal income taxes, and the loss of income tax revenues should be compensated by the growth of indirect tax revenues.

aktSpośród analizowanych obecnie wariantów opodatkowania banków w Polsce najprostszy i najbezpieczniejszy wydaje się dodatkowy podatek od zysków. Oczywiście zredukuje on stopę zwrotu z kapitału, ale, w odróżnieniu od innych podatków powodujących wzrost kosztów, nie spowoduje, że będzie ona ujemna. Ponadto z dodatkowego obciążenia banków podatkiem od zysków można się łatwo wycofać, jeśli spowodowałoby to utratę atrakcyjności inwestycyjnej przez sektor, nie powodując katastrofy systemu finansowego. Nierozważne opodatkowanie aktywów, pasywów lub transakcji może do takiej katastrofy doprowadzić. Niezależnie jednak od decyzji, co powinno być podstawą naliczenia obciążeń dla banków, najistotniejsze jest, aby przyjęte rozwiązania nie naruszyły kruchej stabilności systemu finansowego. Ewentualne obciążenie banków powinno stanowić rozwiązanie systemowe, które stymuluje wzrost stabilności finansowej. Dlatego, jakąkolwiek przyjętoby podstawę opodatkowania, powinno się obciążać większym podatkiem banki prowadzące bardziej ryzykowną działalność i tworzące zagrożenie dla stabilności systemu finansowego, a mniejszym banki bezpieczne, nie stanowiące zagrożenia dla stabilności. Proponujemy rozważenie trzystopniowej skali opodatkowania banków w zależności od ryzyka, które kreują dla finansów publicznych, a więc w zależności od poziomu ich bezpieczeństwa.

Tax on extraction of certain minerals was levied in Poland on 18 April 2012. From the beginning this tax was assessed as a controversial source of central budget revenue. Tax burden and especially tax scale were judged as too high and defective. The new tax is levied only on extraction of copper and silver, which narrows the tax subject. As a result the number of taxpayers is extremely limited to one important object - KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. This company for many years belongs to the group of most fiscally effective corporate income taxpayer's in Poland. Tax on extraction of certain minerals constitutes another significant fiscal burden for business profits which hampers the ability to invest in the long term. The level of tax revenue generated from this source so far has been relatively low in comparison to main tax sources of central budget. From another point of view the level of tax revenues was not symbolic and in the period of global financial crisis should be respected. In the near future taxation subject of the considered tax will be probably extended to other types of natural resources and fuels such as shale gas or other form of hydrocarbons. Potentially the tax revenue generated by this form of taxation could be enormous, just like in many other countries (e.g. Russia, Chile, Norway). The increasing role of tax on extraction of certain minerals revenue is unavoidable due to the raising needs of central budget, which cannot be fulfill in a simple way because of mechanical increase of indirected taxes. On the other hand, taxes on natural resources will probably curb the development process of mining industry in Poland. In conclusion, the level of tax on extraction of certain minerals is not optimal or efficient. Changes in the level of tax burden seem to be necessary.

The purpose of this article is to characterize as well as clarify the tax implications of foreign direct investment in the form of a permanent establishment. The tax burden is not a fixed amount determined by the business environment but rather can be influenced by the type of business structure created. A tax analysis of foreign direct investment (FDI) has revealed that the creation of a permanent establishment is more fiscally profitable than the creation of a separate legal entity (subsidiary). The income of a permanent establishment is not subject to economic double taxation. In addition, there is more flexibility with a permanent establishment in other areas of decision-making such as financing, internal dealings or the settlement of losses.

The financial crisis, which affected financial markets at the end of the first decade of the 21st century, and the resulting reactions of state governments, aimed at the increased regulation of the financial market, revived the debate on the introduction of one of the possible tools for such regulations in the European Union, i.e. the financial transaction tax - FTT. The article discusses the main non-fiscal objectives imposed on such tax, both from the theoretical and empirical perspective. The theoretical arguments justify the introduction of FTT, however, the results of empirical studies are inconclusive regarding the tax consequences, particularly in terms of its non-fiscal goals.
