The thesis processes the auditor’s role and whether it can constrain possible earnings management in smaller Swedish private corporates. The removed auditing obligation that was abolished in Sweden 2010 with the reason to reduce the administrative burden faced by smaller corporates, contributed to an important discussion regarding the auditor’s actual importance. In addition, the corporate tax in Sweden was significantly reduced from 26.3 percent to 22 percent, which gave Swedish corporates incentives to reduce their earnings before the tax reduction, and therefore pay less taxes. This phenomenon is used in the thesis as an excellent opportunity to measure earnings management since there were significantly strong incentives for corporates to manipulate their earnings at that time. The thesis aims to increase understanding among these corporates accounting, and whether the auditor can strengthen the accounting- and audit quality, and therefore constrain earnings management. Through the use of a quantitative method where statistical tests have been performed on underlying data gathered from the corporates annual reports, the thesis research question has been answered. The formulation of the research questions is “Does the degree of earnings management differ between audited and unaudited corporates?”, which has been investigated by measuring the degree of earnings management through unexpected accruals, but also through SG&A cost stickiness. Furthermore, the thesis aims to provide the research area with arguments regarding the appropriateness of the audit exemption. The result obtained in the thesis indicates that audited corporates have less negative unexpected accruals, and hence a minor degree of earnings management in comparison with unaudited corporates. However, no significance is shown in the result, at a five percent significance level, which means that it’s not possible to say with certainty that there’s a difference between these two groups in terms of negative unexpected accruals. Instead, there is evidence that there’s a significant difference between audited and unaudited corporates in terms of cost stickiness, where unaudited corporates showed more cost stickiness and thus also a higher degree of earnings management. With an additional test the thesis also demonstrates that there are corporates that don’t follow the Swedish laws regarding audit exemption. This is when it’s discovered that there are corporates that aren’t covered by the audit exemption, and thus don’t meet the required limits, but still don’t provide an auditor. These corporates also prove to have a higher degree of earnings management since the thesis received a significant result in terms of negative unexpected accruals. To sum up, the thesis highlights that the auditor’s role is of great importance in several aspects, and for this reason there are motives for legislators to review the audit exemption in Sweden.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Ageu Libonati Junior.pdf: 1491313 bytes, checksum: 6538878ff3c8597ea2f029b85b469926 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-02-16 / The tax exemption when related to human rights, must admit ample means of investigation, not restricted to the literal plane or grammar. Thus, it examined the international and domestic legislation of the Brazilian state, noting to national and foreign doctrine, and the study of judgments of Brazilian courts. Was researched and analyzed the relevant case law under the higher courts, involving the environment, hospital services, and the exemptions related to serious illness and labor income earned by diplomatic servers from foreign governments and international organizations that Brazil is a member or have by treaty or convention. Thus, the objective of this doctoral thesis is to demonstrate that the tax exemption related to the effectiveness of human rights admit large research methods, not limited to the literal or grammatical method. Thus, traditional methods of interpretation of the legal rule in the Brazilian doctrine were investigated, not running out on them, since the present work is to study the interpretation of tax exemption related to human rights. The objective is of paramount importance because the fiscalist character of national legislation related to the exemption, requiring a restrictive interpretation of the exemption rule. And that it is unacceptable because human rights are positivized in the Brazilian constitutional system, as fundamental rights, as is observed Article 5 of the Federal Constitution. Moreover, the Constitution, in Articles 1 to 4, ruled that the Federative Republic of Brazil is founded on the dignity of the human person and social work values and goals to eradicate poverty and marginalization, the prevalence of human rights all closely related to human rights. Thus, the interpretation of tax exemptions related to human rights should be focused on the fundamentals, objectives, principles that lead the Federative Republic of Brazil, and invalidated the norm that restricts the methods of interpretation. We concluded in the end that the interpretation of tax exemptions related human rights can not ignore the legal reality that those won special mention in the Constitution, becoming the standards of the most important in the system. Thus, we demonstrate satisfactorily and with support in elite doctrine that the tax exemption when related to human rights, allow ample means of investigation, because there is a deep relationship between the Constitution and human rights, which authorizes us to conclude that all interpretation and assertiveness of law must take into account the Universal Declaration of Human Rights / A isenção tributária, quando relacionada aos direitos humanos, deve admitir amplos meios de investigação, não se restringido ao plano de literalidade ou gramatical. Dessa forma, o objetivo da presente tese é demonstrar que a isenção tributária relacionada à efetividade dos direitos humanos admite amplos métodos de investigação. Neste sentido por meio de pesquisa documental e bibliográfica examinamos legislação internacional e interna do estado brasileiro, anotando-se a doutrina nacional e estrangeira, bem como o estudo de decisões judiciais dos tribunais brasileiro. Pesquisamos e analisamos ainda a jurisprudência de relevo, no âmbito dos tribunais superiores, envolvendo o meio ambiente, os serviços hospitalares, as isenções relacionadas a doenças graves e os rendimentos do trabalho auferidos por servidores diplomáticos de governos estrangeiros e de organismos internacionais de que o Brasil faz parte ou se tenha por tratado ou convênio. Utilizamos os métodos tradicionais de interpretação da norma jurídica na doutrina brasileira, não nos atendo somente a esses, uma vez que este trabalho tem por estudo a interpretação da isenção tributária relacionada aos direitos humanos. A relevância científica e social deste tema denota que o caráter fiscalista da legislação nacional, relacionado à desoneração, impõe uma interpretação restritiva da norma de isenção. Dentre os resultados encontrados, isso não é aceitável, pois os direitos humanos estão positivados no sistema constitucional brasileiro, como direitos fundamentais, consoante observamos no artigo 5º da Constituição Federal. Ademais, a Carta Magna, em seus artigos 1º a 4º, determinou que a República Federativa do Brasil tem como fundamentos a dignidade da pessoa humana e os valores sociais do trabalho e, como escopo, erradicar a pobreza e a marginalização, todos intimamente relacionados com os direitos humanos. Assim, a interpretação das isenções tributárias deve estar focada nos fundamentos, objetivos e princípios que conduzem a República Federativa do Brasil, sendo invalidada a norma que restringe os métodos de interpretação. Concluímos que a interpretação das isenções tributárias não pode ignorar a realidade jurídica de que aqueles ganharam especial destaque no texto constitucional, constituindo-se nas normas das mais importantes no sistema. Demonstramos, então, com amparo na doutrina de escol, que a isenção tributária, quando voltada aos direitos humanos, admite amplos meios de investigação, pois existe profunda relação entre o texto constitucional e os direitos humanos, o que nos autoriza deduzir que toda a interpretação e a positivação do direito tem que levar em consideração a Declaração Universal dos Direitos do Homem

Abstract in English, Afrikaans and IsiXhosa. / This study investigates the first national poll tax levied on African men in the Union of South Africa. Known as the “general tax”, it was enacted in terms of the Natives Taxation and Development Act of 1925, and was imposed irrespective of a man’s income or impecuniousness. The historical background to the Act is outlined, and debates and disputes leading up to its promulgation are considered. The difficulties underlying the application, interpretation, and enforcement of the Act, are also examined. Court case judgments involving men who denied their inclusion under the Act’s central, racial definition of “native”, are explored. The case of one individual whose descendants were brought to Natal as “liberated slaves”, is discussed in some detail. The Act’s definition of “native” affected not only individual men, but also a number of black groups whose racial and tax status was in some doubt. Responses to a Native Affairs Department directive, explicitly excluding “Hottentots, Bushmen and Korannas” from the ambit of the Act, are accordingly investigated. Problems surrounding the Griquas, whose tax status was initially ignored in legislation and in official circulars, are investigated. The taxation of farm labourers, among the lowest paid workers in the country, is also examined. Queries and complaints from magistrates, white farmers and from African men are recorded. The interpretation of the Secretary of Native Affairs on the relevant provisions of the Act and his responses to queries and objections relating to the taxation of those workers, are also investigated. / Esi sifundo siphanda irhafu yokuqala yesizwe eyayibizwa kumadoda ama-Afrika kweMdibaniso woMzantsi Afrika. Le rhafu kwakusithiwa yi“rhafu jikelele”, kwaye yayisekwe ngokomthetho owaziwa ngokuba yiNatives Taxation and Development Act wonyaka we-1925, kwaye yayifunwa kuwo onke amadoda nokuba ahlupheke kangakanani na. Imbali yalo Mthetho inikiwe, kwaye kuphononongwe neengxoxo neengxabano ezakhokelela ekuphunyezweni kwawo. Kuqwalaselwe kwakhona ubunzima obavela xa kwakucelelwa ukuphunyezwa kwawo, indlela yokuwutolika nokuwunyanzelisa. Kukwaphononongwe nezigwebo zeenkundla zamatyala ezimalunga namadoda awayesala ukubandakanywa nenkcazelo yalo Mthetho, eyayicalula ngokwebala, neyayisithi “iinzalelwane”. Kuxoxwe banzi ngetyala losapho lwenye indoda olwaziswa eNatala kusithiwa “ngamakhoboka akhululweyo”. Kuphandiwe ngendlela ababeziva ngayo abantu xa kwaphuma isinyanzeliso seSebe Lemicimbi Yeenzalelwane, esithi “Amaqhakancu, AbaThwa namaKoranna” awafakwa wona kulo Mthetho. Inkcazelo yoMthetho ethi “iinzalelwane” yayingachaphazeli nje amadoda kuphela, yayichaphazela namanye amaqela abantu abantsundu ababengaqondakali ncam ukuba baloluphi na uhlanga, kwaye sisithini isimo sabo serhafu. Ziphononongiwe neengxaki ezazingqonge amaGriqua, wona ayenesimo serhafu esingahoywanga, engananzwanga nangokuseMthethweni nakwiimbalelwano zoburhulumente. Okunye okuphandiweyo kukubizwa irhafu kwabasebenzi basezifama, bona babengabona bahlawulwa kancinci. Zishicilelwe nezikhalazo nemibuzo evela kwiimantyi, amafama amhlophe namadoda ama-Afrika. Ziphononongiwe iindlela zokutolikwa kwezilungiselelo zoMthetho, zitolikwa nguNobhala wemicimbi Yeenzalelwane nendlela lo Nobhala awayephendula ngayo imibuzo nezikhalazo ezazibhekiselele kwabo basebenzi. / Hierdie studie ondersoek die eerste nasionale hoofbelasting wat op Afrika-mans in die Unie van Suid-Afrika gehef is. Hierdie sogenaamde “algemene belasting” is ingevolge die Naturelle Belasting en Ontwikkeling Wet van 1925 voorgeskryf, en is gehef ongeag ’n man se inkomste of onvermoëndheid. Die historiese agtergrond tot die Wet word uiteengesit, en debatte en dispute wat tot die uitvaardiging daarvan gelei het, word oorweeg. Die probleme verbonde aan die toepassing, uitleg en afdwinging van die Wet word ook ondersoek. Hofbeslissings rakende mans wat hul insluiting onder die Wet se sentrale, rasse-definisie van ‘“naturel” ontken het, word bestudeer. Die saak van een individu wie se afstammelinge as “bevryde slawe” na Natal gebring is, word in besonderhede bespreek. Die Wet se definisie van “naturel” het nie net individuele mans beïnvloed nie, maar ook ’n aantal swart groepe oor wie se rasse- en belastingstatus onsekerheid bestaan het. Reaksies op ’n aanwysing van die Departement Naturellesake, wat uitdruklik “Hottentotte, Boesmans en Korannas” van die toepassingsbestek van die Wet uitsluit, word dienooreenkomstig ondersoek. Probleme met betrekking tot die Griekwas, wie se belastingstatus aanvanklik in wetgewing en amptelike omsendbriewe geïgnoreer is, word verken. Die belastingbetaling deur plaasarbeiders, wat onder die laags besoldigde werkers in die land was, word ook bekyk. Navrae en klagtes van landdroste, wit boere en Afrika-mans word vermeld. Die uitleg van die tersaaklike bepalings van die Wet deur die Sekretaris van Naturellesake en sy reaksies op navrae oor en besware teen die belastingpligtigheid van daardie werkers word ook ondersoek. / College of Accounting Sciences / M.

本論文旨在探討非營利組織及其捐贈者所享受的租稅優惠，是否應依組織性質的不同而有所差異。本研究參考相關文獻及美國內地稅法的分類方式，將國內非營利組織依公益性質及商業性質劃分為六類，並寄發問卷詢問國內會計師、營利事業財務主管及負責人、非營利組織管理者及負責人、學者及稅務人員對此六類組織及其捐贈者享受各項免稅優惠的贊同程度。本研究以敘述統計、t檢定及一般線性模式等統計分析方法對文獻探討所建立的假說進行測試，得出下列實證結果： 一、各界對於非營利組織及捐贈者享受免稅優惠的贊同程度，依組織公益性質的不同而有顯著的差異。公益程度愈高者，各界贊成免稅的程度愈高。 二、各界對於非營利組織及捐贈者享受免稅優惠的贊同程度，依組織商業性質的不同而有顯著的差異。各界對不具商業性質的組織有較高的免稅贊同度。 三、各界對於非營利組織及其捐贈者享受租稅減免優惠的贊同度，因減免項目的不同而有顯著的差異。 四、各界對於捐贈者享受所得稅或遺贈稅扣除優惠的贊同程度高於非營利組織本身享受各稅減免的贊同程度。 五、非營利組織管理者對於組織本身享受所得稅、營業稅、關稅及財產稅免稅優惠的贊同度顯著高於其他受試者。 經過文獻探討、各國免稅規定之比較及實證結果分析之後，本文重要的結論與建議如下： 一、鑒於公益性組織與互益性組織在所得稅上享受相同的租稅優惠，建議修改免稅適用標準，比照英美的做法將非營利組織依公益性質有系統的劃分為二至三類，並依組織公益性質的不同給予不同程度的租稅優惠。例如：對私人基金會的投資所得課徵特種稅(excise tax)；個人或企業對互益性組織的捐贈行為應享受較少的所得稅及遺產及贈與稅之免稅優惠。 二、建議恢復部分非營利組織銷售行為免稅的規定，可參酌英國、美國、新加坡及德國的稅法規定，將免稅範圍限制於符合免稅目的或慈善目的之銷售行為，或給予具商業性質的組織及其捐款者較低程度的免稅優惠。 / This study classifies the nonprofit organizations in Taiwan into six categories in terms of the degree of their public and business characteristics. The subjects are asked to express their opinion to the tax exemption of these six kinds of the nonprofit organizations. The subjects include the scholars, the certified public accountants, the managers and executive officers of the nonprofit organizations and the business companies, and the tax collectors of the tax authority. Descriptive statistics, t tests, and GLM are applied to analyze the responses of the subjects. The following results are obtained: 1. The subjects' agreement to the tax exemption of the nonprofit and its donators are significantly influenced by the degree of public for the organizations. The higher the degree of public for the organizations, the higher the subjects' agreement. 2. The subjects' agreement to the tax exemption of the nonprofit and its donators are significantly influenced by the degree of business for the organizations. The subjects have higher agreement to the tax exemption of the non-commercial organizations. 3. The subjects' agreement to the tax exemption of the nonprofit and its donators are significantly different between the different taxes. 4. The subjects' agreement to the tax deduction for donation is higher than the agreement to the tax exemption for NPO. 5. The managers of the nonprofit organizations have higher agreement to the tax exemption of the nonprofit than other subjects. After analyzing the responses of the subjects and comparing the tax laws of several countries, we provide following proposals to revise the tax laws. 1. The nonprofit need to be systematically classified according to the public characteristics and treated differently. For example, the investment income of the private foundations needs to be taxed for excise tax; donators of the mutual organizations should be benefited less by the deduction of the income tax and estate tax. 2. The tax exemption of the sales conduct of some nonprofit organizations should be retained but subjected to the organizations whose conduct conforms to the charitable or exempt purposes. Besides, the commercial organizations should be benefited less by the tax exemptions.

L’accès financier limité aux soins de santé a suscité l’instauration de politiques sanitaires de subvention des soins en Afrique. Au Burkina Faso, une ONG, en complémentarité avec la politique sanitaire nationale subventionne à 100% depuis septembre 2008 les soins et les médicaments pour les enfants de moins de cinq ans dans le district sanitaire de Dori. L’intervention regroupe formation du personnel soignant, supervisions et suppression de paiement des soins et des médicaments. L’objectif de l’étude est d’analyser l’effet de cette intervention sur l’adéquation des prescriptions médicales. Neuf centres de santé ont été pris en compte. Au total 14956 ordonnances d’enfants de moins de cinq ans ciblés par l’intervention ont été sélectionnées par échantillonnage systématique à partir des registres de consultation un an avant et un an après l’instauration de l’intervention. Quatorze prescripteurs ont été interviewés. Les prescriptions ont été analysées par comparaison au référentiel de l’OMS ainsi qu’au référentiel national. Le discours des prescripteurs a été analysé en vue de comprendre leur perception de leur changement de pratiques depuis de début de la subvention. L’intervention a eu pour effet de diminuer l’utilisation des injections (Rapport de cote (RC) =0,28; p<0,005) dans le cas des infections respiratoires aiguës (IRA). Elle a entraîné une diminution de l’utilisation inappropriée des antibiotiques dans les cas de paludisme seul (RC=0,48; p<0,0005). Le nombre moyen de médicaments par ordonnance a également diminué de 14% dans les cas d’IRA (p<0,0005). Les prescripteurs ont affirmé pour la plupart que leurs pratiques se sont soit maintenues soit améliorées. L’intervention a entrainé une amélioration de l’adéquation des prescriptions médicales dans certains cas. / The limited financial access to health care has encouraged the creation of health policies for subsidizing care in Africa. In Burkina Faso, an NGO, in line with the national health policy has been subsidizing care and medicines for children under five years in the health district of Dori since September 2008. The program includes training of health workers, supervision and removal of fees for health care and medication. The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of this free care program on the adequacy of drugs prescriptions. Nine health centers were taken into account. A total of 14,956 prescriptions of the target group of children under five years were collected from consultation records a year before and after the introduction of free care program. In addition, fourteen prescribers were interviewed. The prescriptions were analyzed in comparison to the WHO and the national reference. The prescribers’ responses were analyzed to understand their perception of their change in practice since the introduction of the free care program. The study showed that the free care program had an effect by decreasing the use of injections (Odds Ratio (OR) =0.28, p < 0.005) in acute respiratory infections (ARI) cases. It also led to decrease in inappropriate use of antibiotics in the case of malaria (OR=0.48, p<0.0005). The average number of drugs per prescription was also found to have decreased by 14% (p<0.0005) in ARI cases. Several prescribers asserted that their practices are maintained or improved. The program leads to an improvement in the adequacy of drugs prescriptions.

2004年4月，歐盟執委會頒佈了新的「技術授權協議集體除外規則」及其「指導原則」，以取代1996年開始實施的舊規則。這個規則係在規範技術授權行為於歐體條約第81條下之合法性。其改革所代表的意義，主要則體現於兩個層面。其一，本次改革顯示了歐盟官方對於智慧財產權與競爭政策之關係的態度。其二，則是涉及到歐體競爭法之集體除外制度，乃至於競爭法本身如何更驅現代化的發展軌跡。以前者而言，歐體競爭法在執法思考上傾向於更加尊重智慧財產權之行使；就後者而言，則不論是在競爭規範或執法上，均更強調經濟導向的思維模式。尤其在集體除外規則中設計了以市占率為門檻之安全區制度，將使主管機關更能專注於真正重大限制競爭之案件，並使事業有更大的彈性空間因應日益複雜化的授權實務。 在現今全球化的商業實務，授權活動不可避免地將更具跨國性。因此本文的目的，即在於剖析歐盟新的集體除外制度，希冀提供各界參酌。除此以外，並藉由對歐盟新制的探討，回頭檢視我國公平法對於授權活動之規範。尤其，係對照分析公平會技術授權處理原則之規範說明。希望藉由探討歐盟新架構下的規範思考，亦能夠帶給我國規範或執法上一些新的啟發。 / On 7 April, 2004, the European Commission adopted a new Block Exemption Regulation with respect to technology transfer agreements (TTBER) along with some detailed Guidelines. The new Regulation, which replaces the Reg. 240/96, addresses the evaluation on licensing activities under Article 81 of the EC Treaty. This reform shows the official attitude toward the interaction between Intellectual Property Rights and the Competition Law. Moreover, it demonstrates the path of the modernization of Block Exemption Regulations, and also the EC Competition Law itself. This article will illustrate the framework of the new TTBER with comparison to the old one and the U.S. approach. Furthermore, it will survey our position on licensing practices, especially focusing on our “Fair Trade Commission Guidelines on Technology Licensing Arrangements”. Based on the research, a proposed revolution for Taiwan FTC’s measures concerning the licensing activities will be provided at the end of this article.

Die bestaande belastingaansporingsmaatreels in Suid-Afrika is nagevors. Belastingaansporingsmaatreels wat vroeer in gebruik was, is ook ondersoek. Aandag is gegee aan die kontantaansporingsmaatreels wat vir vervaardigingsondernemings beskikbaar is in Suid-Afrika. Programme wat deur onder andere die Nywerheid-Ontwikkelingskorporasie van Suid-Afrika Beperk en die Kleinsake-Ontwikkelingskorporasie aangebied word is ondersoek. Ondersoek is ingestel na die bevindings van die Margo kommissie Verslag wat in 1986 uitgereik is. Die verslag van die Katz-kommissie wat in 1994 uitgereik is, is ook nagevors. Aandag is gegee aan die 1994, 1995 en 1996 begrotings asook sommige van die aspekte van die Algemene Ooreenkoms op Tariewe en Handel. Die belastingkoerse en aansporingsmaatreelsprogramme wat deur die Verenigde State van Amerika, Verenigde Koninkryk en Kanada beskikbaar gestel word aan ondernemings is ondersoek. Moontlike oplossings vir die probleme wat tans ondervind word in SuidAfrika se aansporingsmaatreelstelsel is geformuleer. / The existing tax incentives in South Africa were researched. Tax incentives that were previously in use, were also investigated. Attention was given to the cash incentives available to manufacturing enterprises in South Africa. Amongst others the programmes offered by the Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa Limited and the Small Business Development Corporation were investigated. The findings of the Margo Commission Report issued in 1986 were investigated. The Katz Report issued in 1994 was also researched. Attention was given to the 1994, 1995 and 1996 budgets as well as some of the aspects of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. The taxation rates and incentive programmes available to enterprises in the United States of America, United Kingdom and Canada were investi gated. Possible solutions for the problems currently experienced in South Africa with regard to incentives have been formulated. / School of Computing / M.Sc (Computer Science)

A cette époque de crises économiques internationales, de mondialisation et d’ouverture des marchés, la micro-entreprise apparaît plus que jamais comme une arme d'anti-crise et de création d'emplois. Dans ce contexte, les outils juridiques s'avèrent être le meilleur moyen pour accomplir ces objectifs. Ces outils sont principalement composés du droit des sociétés et des entreprises, du droit de la sécurité sociale et du droit fiscal. Cependant, ils ne sont pas les mêmes en France qu'au Liban. En effet, les législations de ces deux pays ont pendant longtemps porté des conceptions juridiques similaires. Or, depuis une vingtaine d'années le droit français a commencé à prendre un rythme d’évolution accéléré suite à l’influence exercé par le droit continental européen dans le cadre de l’harmonisation européenne. Ainsi, il s’agit d’intégrer les évolutions du droit français dans le droit libanais. Toutefois, le droit français connaît lui même plusieurs imperfections. C’est pourquoi un regard porté sur les législations appartenant à un autre système juridique que celui du « Droit civil », notamment sur celles appartenant à la famille de la « Common Law », pourrait apporter des solutions originales aux limites des droits français et libanais. Par conséquent, cette contribution vise à trouver des remèdes aux lacunes juridiques existantes en matière de micro-entreprise en France et au Liban et à élaborer de nouveaux moyens de la promouvoir. / At this time of international economic crises, globalization and open markets, the micro-enterprise appears more than ever as a weapon of anti-crisis and job creation. In this context, the legal tools are proving to be the best way to achieve these goals. These tools are mainly composed of company and corporate laws, social security law and tax law. However, they vary from France to Lebanon. Even though, for a long time, the legislations of both countries have carried similar legal concepts. Yet, for more than twenty years now French law has begun taking an accelerated pace of evolution, due to the influence of the European continental law in the context of European harmonization. Thus, the objective is to incorporate the French law evolutions in the Lebanese law. However, the French law suffers of several imperfections, this is why a glance at the legislations of other legal systems than the “Civil law”, in particular those of “Common law”, could provide original solutions to the limits of French and Lebanese law. Therefore, this paper aims to find cures for existing legal loopholes concerning the micro-enterprise in France and Lebanon and to develop new ways to promote it.

The aim of this thesis is to explain the issue of value added tax, its general principles, the right to deduct value added tax and subsequently explain the impact of this tax in accounting, including the difference between accounting and tax documents. This thesis deals with exemptions from value added tax, supply and purchase of goods from another Member State, providing services and export and import of goods. This thesis presents several judgments of the European Court of Justice in the field of value added tax.
