Vår uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur kapitalvinstbeskattningen på fastigheter och amorteringskraven på de lån som tas påverkar rörligheten på bostadsmarknaden idag. Vi kunde se att ämnet ofta är med i debatt men att det ändå inte utförts mycket studier i Sverige men det visade sig finnas studier som gjorts i USA. Vi har i vår studie på ett liknande sett valt att studera hur amorteringskravens införande påverkat bostadspriserna och hushållens utgifter genom att vi jämfört statistik, innan respektive efter dessa regleringars införande. Vi har valt att fokusera på enskilda fall då vi selektivt har valt ut 17 kommuner att undersöka. Detta kan beskrivas som en ”multiple case study” där vi vid varje enskilt fall gör en kvantitativ analys genom insamlad data. Det finns enligt teorin flertalet olika sorters inlåsningseffekter, exempelvis då hushåll aktivt väljer att undvika kostnader då deras nya boende kommer leda till högre månadskostnader efter flytt. Den data vi samlat in visar på att det i flertalet av de studerade kommunerna blir en betydande kostnad som uppkommer då individer väljer att flytta. Med tanke på den prisutveckling som skett på både bostadsrätter och villor över de senaste 20 åren borde respektive hushåll behöva låna mer pengar och därmed dra på sig högre kostnader även om de väljer att flytta till en mindre bostad. Teorin nämner ekonomiska inlåsningseffekter och inom dessa är vinstdriven inlåsning något som uppstår i samhällen som är liberala och globaliserade. Vår empiri visar på att de individer som bott en längre tid i en villa har fått en kraftig värdeökning på sina bostäder. Detta innebär att de behöver skatta mer, vilket är att se som en kostnad, vilket gör att de tjänar mindre när de säljer sina bostäder. Ökade skattekostnader leder enligt teorin till att benägenheten att flytta minskar. För varje 1000 USD, ca 10 000 kronor, som skattekostnader ökar minskar individens och hushållens benägenhet att flytta med 1 procent. Genomsnittet för de 17 studerade kommunerna ligger på ca 369 000 kronor vilket då borde innebära en minskning i benägenhet att flytta med 36,9 procent. Då tanken med amorteringskraven är att hushåll inte ska belåna sig lika högt som tidigare så kommer folk att bli mer restriktiva i sitt lånande vilket då gör att priserna kommer falla. Detta kommer innebära att de som köpt bostäderna då inte vill sälja eftersom de gör en förlust vilket i globalt och liberalt samhälle är ett vardagligt tänk. Därmed finns det inga bostäder som kan tänkas att säljas, flyttkedjornas rörlighet hämmas och inlåsningseffekter uppstår. Vår insamlade data visar på att det första amorteringskravet hade den efterfrågade effekten till viss del då priserna innan, under och kort efter just själva införandet av det första amorteringskravet minskade. Detta är dock mer påtagligt för bostadsrätter där det tydligt framgår att priserna per kvadratmeter sjönk medann K/T-talet för villor, trots att även kvadratmeterpriserna för dessa sjönk, låg kvar på mer stabila nivåer. Det tolkar vi som om att de skatteregler och amorteringskrav som finns idag leder till att folk inte vill flytta då de drar på sig stora kostnader vid en eventuell flytt. Både direkta, vinstskatten, men också retroaktiva i form av ökade månadskostnader. / This thesis analyzes the capital income taxes on real estate and the amortization of loans whether it will have an effect on the real estate market. The topic is up for debate but still not many studies have been made in Sweden. We found studies in the USA and have conducted our research in a similar way of studying the effects of the amortization requirements effect on the accommodation price and households costs. This is done by comparing statistics before and after the amortization requirements have been imposed. We decided to focus on specific cases and have chosen 17 different municipalities to look into. Our research can be described as a multiple case study where every individual case becomes a quantitative analysis though collected data. Different lock-in effects can be found and for example when a household chooses to avoid costs since a new house will lead in to higher monthly costs. The collected data shows that a majority of the municipalities will have significant increase in costs due to the development of both apartments and villas over the past 20 years. This results in higher loans and cost of moving, even when moving to a smaller accommodation. In the theory, we talk about economic lock-in effects due to a profit driven economy that arises in communities that are liberal and globalized. Our research show that people who have lived in their home for a long time have an accreted value. This accreted value leads to high taxes which can be seen as a cost that will make them earn less when trying to sell their home. Increased capital income taxes will lead to less tendency to move. For every 1000 USD a household pays in property taxes, the likelihood they will move decreases by 1 percent. The average capital gains taxation  of the municipalities studied is 369 000 SEK, which implies the households are less likely to move by 36.9 percent. The idea of amortization requirements is that households should not take as big loans as they would have done before so that people will be more restrictive while taking loans that will lead to falling house prices. This would lead to people who already own their homes to not sell since they will lose money, which in a global and liberal community is a colloquial thought. The result of this is: no housing for sale and the moving chain stops, thus the lock-in effects is inevitable. Our collected data shows that the first amortization requirements had the requested effect on the price before, under and for a short period of time after the imposition decline. However the effect is more significant on dwellings where falling square-meter prices clearly appears while the K/T numbers for houses dropped but still remains stable. We infer the tax law and amortization requirements today will lead to less people moving since it will result in increased costs with a potential move. Both direct, capital income taxes but also retroactive monthly costs.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur mäklarna i Sverige använder sig av sina kunskaper inom kapitalvinstbeskattning och uppskov gentemot sina kunder. Vi undersöker också om kunder som någon gång sålt och köpt bostad önskar att mäklare visar dem hur deras ekonomiska situation efter bostadsförsäljningen kommer att se ut. Vi frågar även de intervjuade kunderna om deras kunskaper kring uppskov och om det var någonting mäklaren förklarade för dem. Vi undersöker alltså vad kunden vill ha av mäklaren och jämför det med vad mäklarna tror att kunderna vill ha.  Vi genomförde fem kvalitativa intervjuer med mäklare från olika områden och företag i Sverige. Vi ville få en bild av hur de använder sig av nettokalkyler och information om uppskov i praktiken och även veta hur de uppfattar kundernas kunskaper kring ämnet. Vi intervjuade även 69 personer som någon gång sålt och köpt en bostad. Vi intervjuade dem genom att använda oss av en enkät där de fick flervalsfrågor med alternativ för “övrigt”. Vi ville lägga fokus på hur deras process med mäklaren gick till och om mäklaren erbjöd dem information och hjälp med kapitalvinstbeskattning och uppskov. Vi ville även veta om deras kunskaper kring ämnet ökade efter att de anlitat mäklaren eller om de redan hade kunskaperna som behövs.  Våra huvudresultat var att det skiljer sig väldigt mycket åt ifall mäklaren informerar kunden om deras ekonomiska situation före eller efter försäljningen av deras bostad. Vissa mäklare använder sig dagligen av nettokalkyler på sitt första möte med kunden och vissa använder det endast vid hjälp med deklarationen. Några mäklare sa att deras kunder oftast har bra koll på det som behöver vetas angående kapitalvinstbeskattningen och uppskov medan vissa sa att deras kunder har väldigt dålig koll. Det är de mäklare som använder sig av en nettokalkyl på intagen som också säger att kunderna oftast vill ha det. Det som enkätundersökningen visar är att majoriteten av de intervjuade kunderna vill ha hjälp med kapitalvinstberäkningen och information om uppskovet och kostnaden för att ta uppskov. Kundernas uppfattning av en mäklare som informerar om detta är att mäklaren är kunnig och bryr sig om dem. / This thesis analyzes real estate brokers’ use of their knowledge concerning capital income taxes (CIT) and postponement taxes in response to customers. We further analyze if customers that once have sold or bought an accommodation would have liked to have the broker examine their future economic status after finished transactions. Additionally, we interview customers regarding their understanding of postponement taxes. We analyze what a customer asks of a broker and compare those answers to what brokers assume the customer wants.  We performed five interviews with brokers from different regions and businesses in Sweden. We sought to understand how brokers use the "net calculus" and information regarding postponement taxes in practice, and also to determine how brokers apprehend customers' overall knowledge on the subject. Furthermore, we interviewed 69 people who had experience of either selling or buying an accommodation. The interviews were carried out through multiple-choice surveys. The surveys concentrated on the individual's experience of the process with their broker, specifically how the process went, if the broker offered satisfying information and if help with capital income taxes and postponement taxes were provided. Additionally, we sought to understand if the sellers' knowledge increased after consulting with a broker, or if they already had the necessary knowledge.  Primarily, our research concluded that the information customers received concerning their economic status before or after the transaction varied excessively. Some brokers use “net calculus” throughout the whole process starting at the first meeting and others only use it when assisting with the declaration. A few brokers presume that their customers usually have the necessary knowledge concerning capital income taxes and postponement taxes; in contrast, some brokers claimed the customers do not. Furthermore, the brokers that use “net calculus” from the first meeting argue that most customers appreciate the use of it. Among conducted multiple- choice surveys, a majority express a desire to receive assistance with calculations of capital profits and information about the costs regarding postponement. The overall perception of the customer is that a broker who informs about this is one that is knowledgeable and cares for the customer.

The role of taxation in gender inequality is something that is perhaps not considered earnestly enough. Both in South Africa and within the context of global initiatives such as the Convention for the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) which are aimed at eradicating all forms of gender-based discrimination, the importance of understanding the gender consequences of tax policy, whether intended or not, should not be underestimated. This study seeks to identify whether or not there are any instances where South Africa’s personal income tax laws have an effect which is potentially inconsistent with both the Constitutional right to equality between genders and international gender equality agreements to which South Africa is bound, namely the CEDAW and the SDG. In doing so, determine whether South Africa’s personal income tax legislation should become a focal point in this regard and be one of the pillars that could further be used as a means to uphold and further the cause of substantive gender equity. / Mini Dissertation (MCom (Taxation))--University of Pretoria, 2020. / pt2021 / Taxation / MCom (Taxation) / Unrestricted

The objectives of this study were twofold. One objective was to analyze the effects of growth in the social security tax, when combined with recent changes in U.S. income tax law, on the distribution of the combined income and social security tax burden during the 1980s. The second objective was to estimate the effects of certain proposals for social security tax reform upon that distribution. The above analyses were performed using simulation techniques applied to the 1984 IRS Individual Tax Model File. The data from this file were used to estimate the income and social security tax liabilities for sample taxpayers under tax law in effect in 1980, 1984 and 1988 and under fourteen proposals for social security reform (under 1988 law). The results indicated that the income tax distribution was almost 25 percent more progressive under 1988 tax law than under 1980 tax law. In contrast, the combined distribution of income and social security taxes was almost 25 percent less progressive under 1988 income and social security tax law relative to 1980. Two types of social security tax reform were analyzed. One type consisted of reforms to the basic social security tax structure, such as removal of the earnings ceiling, provision of exemptions and replacement of the current single tax rate with a two-tiered graduated rate structure. The second type of reform consisted of proposals to expand the theoretical tax base subject to the social security levy. The results suggested that these reforms could generate substantial increases in progressivity in the combined tax distribution. In general, it would appear that changes in the social security tax structure could generate greater improvements in progressivity than expansion of the theoretical tax base, although the greatest improvement was associated with a combination of these two reforms. With regard to horizontal equity, expansion of the theoretical tax base generated the most improvement.

This thesis is focused on one part of the tax system of the Czech Republic. It is the part of personal income taxes. The aim of this work is to analyze this tax and describe its application in a company. The theoretical part of this thesis contains whole legal regulations of personal income taxes. The main aim of this part is to show the changes that occurred after the tax revision in the year 2007. So it compares the situation in the year 2007 and in the year 2008. The second part of the thesis attends to the practical matter of the system of the personal income taxes. At first it shows tax incidence on taxpayers after the tax revision. The main part is focused on the application of this tax in chosen trading company. The tax system was studied in one join-stock company that is a part of one big international holding company. This company use very sophisticated software SAP R/3. This software was examined especially in the area of personal income taxes and in the area of the system of wages. Last but not least one example is shown, how the whole process of taxation looks (calculation of tax liability, all necessary forms, annual summation of tax).

Diploma thesis is focused on a comparison between a tax burden of self employed person and limited liability company, precisely, its shareholder. Main goal is to draw a comparison between the taxation of individuals and also scrutinize benefits (or drawbacks) of becoming a self-employed person from a tax perspective or whether is more advantageous establishing a single-member limited liability company. The percentage of a withhold rate enables the quantification of a tax burden, an effective tax rate and an average tax rate. This thesis includes comprehensive case study based on several specified restrictions.

O aprofundamento das diferenças entre a contabilidade e as normas tributárias tornou o crescimento do ativo fiscal diferido, resultante da alocação dos efeitos tributários das diferenças temporárias entre os dois sistemas contábeis, um problema a ser enfrentado pelas autoridades monetárias. Entre os principais métodos de alocação de impostos entre períodos, a alocação parcial é o método que produz um ativo fiscal diferido mais condizente com os fundamentos econômicos. As autoridades monetárias têm procurado limitar o crescimento do ativo fiscal diferido nas instituições financeiras por meio de procedimentos extracontábeis, em grande parte porque a alocação utilizada em muitos países, inclusive no Brasil, é a alocação abrangente. Os normativos contábeis sobre o ativo fiscal diferido e as legislações bancárias correlatas dos EUA e do Brasil são analisados e comparados, além de apresentados os números agregados do ativo fiscal diferido no Sistema Financeiro Nacional. A base de dados utilizada foi o Sistema de Informações do Banco Central, o que permitiu que todos os integrantes do Sistema Financeiro Nacional fossem coletivamente pesquisados. Os números obtidos mostram que, a partir do ano de 1997, quando aumentou o fosso entre contabilidade e normas tributárias, sobretudo em virtude da indedutibilidade da maioria das provisões, houve crescimento contínuo do ativo fiscal diferido no conjunto das instituições financeiras brasileiras. Com isso, as normas bancárias relativas à adequação de capital ficaram mais rígidas e afastadas da contabilidade. Este trabalho tem a finalidade de propor um método de alocação baseado na alocação parcial, mas não como usualmente praticada. As instituições financeiras, baseadas em estudos técnicos, determinam, hoje, as diferenças temporárias que originam o ativo fiscal diferido. Pela característica de interdependência com todos os setores econômicos que o sistema financeiro possui, além da baixa qualidade do ativo fiscal diferido quanto à sua liquidez, o Banco Central passa, segundo a proposta, a ter papel pró-ativo na alocação de impostos. O Banco Central passa a determinar as diferenças temporárias que originarão o ativo fiscal diferido, a ser obtido pela alocação parcial especificada pela autarquia. A alocação parcial nesses moldes resultaria não só no reconhecimento contábil do ativo fiscal diferido em bases econômicas, pois as diferenças temporárias consideradas no seu cômputo teriam a chancela da possibilidade de reversão firmada pelo próprio Banco Central, mas também na aproximação entre as normas de adequação de capital e a contabilidade, pois o ativo fiscal diferido no agregado do Sistema Financeiro Nacional possivelmente ficaria em nível naturalmente tolerável para fins de aferição da solvabilidade das instituições financeiras. / The deepening of the differences between accounting and tax rules turned the growing in the deferred tax asset, resulting from the tax allocation of the temporary differences between the two accounting systems, into a problem for monetary authorities. Among the main interperiod tax allocation methods, the partial provision method for deferred taxes yields a more suitable deferred tax asset according to economic fundamentals. Monetary authorities have tried to limit the deferred taxes from growing in the financial institutions through off-balance-sheet procedures, especially because many countries, including Brazil, use the comprehensive (full) method of accounting for deferred taxes. Accounting standards on deferred taxes and American and Brazilian regulatory rules are analyzed and compared and the aggregate numbers of the deferred tax asset in the National Financial System are presented. Data were obtained from the Brazilian Central Bank database, which allowed for a survey of all National Financial System components. The resulting features show that, from fiscal year 1997 onwards, when the gap between accounting and tax rules deepened, especially due to the fact that most of provisions became indeductible for tax purposes, a continuous growth in deferred tax assets has occurred in Brazilian banks. Consequently, the Brazilian regulatory capital rules have become stricter and more distant from accounting. This study aims to propose a method of accounting for income taxes based on the partial provision method, but not like the partial method usually practiced. Nowadays, based on technical studies, banks determine the deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences chosen by the banks themselves. Thanks to the financial market’s interdependency with other economic sectors, besides the low liquidity of deferred tax assets, according to the objective, the Brazilian Central Bank starts to play a pro-active role in the tax allocation process. Based on the partial method, the Central Bank will determine which timing differences will give rise to the deferred tax asset. The partial provision method thus achieved would result not only in a deferred tax record on an economic basis, because the reversal of the considered temporary differences would have the official seal of the Central Bank, but it would also provide for a shorter distance between the regulatory capital treatment of deferred tax assets and accounting principles, since the total deferred tax asset recorded in the National Financial System would possibly stay at a naturally tolerable level for regulatory capital purposes.

Diploma thesis deals with problems with accounting and presentation of income taxes, with their impact on accounting profit or loss and with the recognition of deferred tax in respect of czech accounting rules and International financial reporting standards (IAS/IFRS). The theoretical aspects are described at the beginning and the differences between the czech and international view of accounting for income taxes are identified. Theoretical aspects are accompanied by illustrative examples and applied on the practical analysis of final accounts of two companies -- Czech airlines and Travel Service. Analyzed accounting period is the same as the calendar year of 2009, which is compared with the year 2008.
