The purpose of this thesis is to compare the personal income tax in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, focusing on the years from 2004 to 2015. The work is divided into two chapters. The first chapter deals with the development and comparison of structural elements of the personal income tax and social security in both countries simultaneously during the period. In the second chapter on model examples of the employee and self-employed individaul is compared the tax burden from 2004 to 2015. For comparison, the tax burden on an employee's is used average tax rate and effective tax wedge. For self-employed person is also calculated average tax rate and total tax burden.

В современных условиях значение налогового планирования всё больше возрастает, это определяется следующими моментами: для организаций является весьма тяжёлым бременем соблюдать и выполнять налоговые обязательства, а также оно сталкивается с такой сложностью, как налоговое законодательство, которое характеризуется неустойчивым положением. Необходимость налогового управления определяется в законодательстве по налогообложению, которое предусматривает разнообразные режимы в зависимости от ситуации, и допускает применять разные способы для определения такого элемента налоговой системы, как налоговая база, а также предполагает применение льгот. Помимо этого, у государства присутствует интерес в предоставлении бенефиций в целях стимулирования какого-либо сектора экономики, социального или экономического развития страны в части спланированной налоговой политики. В ходе написания магистерской диссертации был предложен новый принцип налогового планирования, заключающийся в дифференциации налога на прибыль в зависимости от видов экономической деятельности предприятий. А также предложена методика формирования налога на прибыль в зависимости от видов экономической деятельности предприятий согласно разработанному принципу. / In modern conditions, the importance of tax planning is increasing, it is determined by the following points: for organizations is a very heavy burden to comply with and fulfill tax obligations, and it is faced with such complexity as tax legislation, which is characterized by an unstable situation. The need for tax administration is defined in tax legislation, which provides for a variety of regimes depending on the situation, and allows for different ways to determine such an element of the tax system as the tax base, and also involves the use of benefits. In addition, the state has an interest in providing benefits in order to stimulate any sector of the economy, social or economic development of the country in terms of the planned tax policy. During the writing of the master's thesis was proposed a new principle of tax planning, which consists in the differentiation of income tax depending on the types of economic activity of enterprises. And also the technique of formation of the income tax depending on types of economic activity of the enterprises according to the developed principle is offered.

The tax system in South Africa makes provision for every South African citizen to contribute to a greater or lesser extent to funding the National Health Insurance (NHI), either through VAT or PAYE. However, as a result of the high unemployment rate, a large gap exists between tax and non-tax contributors. The question can now be asked whether it is fair that just a small percentage of taxpayers are responsible for the total funding of the NHI. Furthermore, it could be asked whether the taxpayer is aware of the additional tax burden the NHI will impose on him/her. The purpose of this research was to investigate three countries, namely, Brazil, Spain and Germany, where some form of NHI is in operation, in order to find a possible appropriate funding model for South Africa's NHI and, ultimately, to make conclusions and recommendations based on the outcomes. It was subsequently found that, although the taxpayer should be more heavily taxed in order to fund the NHI, there are a few other possibilities for distributing the tax burden more evenly. However, the impact of the proposed adjustment to increase VAT could have a negative impact on the non-taxpayer and might contribute to greater poverty in South Africa. / MCom (South African and International Taxation), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

This masters thesis focuses on real estate taxation in the Czech Republic and Great Britain. The theoretical part of this thesis presents the tax system in both countries as well as basic information about property taxes and the system of taxation of property. The practical part of this thesis consists mainly of model examples of taxation of real estate intended for housing and real estate with commercial use. Part of this work is also aimed at comparing the tax burden. The comparison of taxes on property in both countries is made by comparing taxes on property with GDP and with total taxation. The final part of this thesis compares the tax burden in both countries by using the results from the model examples.

人類慾望無窮而資源有限，所以如何將資源做最有效的使用一直是經濟學所追求的課題。有關效率的規範分析中，巴瑞圖最適（Pareto optimality）為接受度最高的準則。基於巴瑞圖效率的觀點，不論是營利組織或非營利組織其經營之基本理念皆是希望以最少的投入獲得最大的產出，因此衡量投入與產出間之相對表現即為效率的評估。非營利組織及公共部門因為有許多產出、投入不易量化，故其效率不易評定。此一情況一直到DEA（Data Envelopment Analysis；資料包絡分析法）發展才逐漸改善。另外，有關DEA的運用幾乎都集中在個別決策單位的效率衡量，將之應用在衡量總體經濟的表現上非常少見。所以論文第肆章是按傳統方式以DEA衡量我國地方政府的效率並分析造成效率差異的原因，第參章則將DEA的概念應用於經濟成長上，探討使經濟成長達到極大化之租稅負擔及租稅結構。又效率的追求為經濟學的主軸，但中央政府的效率目標與地方政府並不相同，由於目標不同，因此彼此所訂的租稅政策亦不相同。本文第伍章試圖提出一理論模型說明中央政府在面對異質地區的垂直外部性下如何有效率的訂定其租稅政策。 / The human desires are infinite but resources are scarce. Using resources effectively is the topic of the economics. In efficient analyses, the Pareto optimality is the highest criterion to accept. Based on Pareto efficiency, the basic idea is to obtain the most outputs by the least inputs. Therefore the efficiency measurement is to calculate the relative performance of inputs and outputs. The nonprofit organization and the public agencies have many outputs and inputs not easy to be quantified; hence, their efficiency is not easy to evaluate. This phenomenon doesn’t improve until DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) was developed. However, the application of DEA concentrates nearly on the efficiency measurement of individual policy-making unit; the application is be rarely used in measuring the performance of the macro-economy. Chapter 4 of this dissertation measures and explains the variation in cost efficiency of the local governments in Taiwan area. Chapter 3 deals with the application the DEA to economic growth, estimating a combination of the tax burden(the ratio of tax revenue to GDP）and the tax structure(the ratio of indirect taxes to direct taxes)which would maximize the rate of growth of GDP of Taiwan. Efficiency is the core of economics, but the national government’s efficient goal is not as same as the local government’s. Because their goals are not consistent, thus the tax policies are different. Chapter 5 attempts to propose a theoretical model to explain how a national or federal government decides its tax policy in the vertical externalities happening in heterogeneous states.

Master´s thesis deals with possibility of choice different legal forms of business in the economic environment of Czech republic and choice of the enterprise which is the most suitable from the sight of income tax. I deal with choice of an appropriate type of partnership and comparison of different legal forms, which are based on the analysis of individual types of partnership by important criteria. Especially I focused on the criterion of the tax burden. Besides of the criterion of the tax burden it´s necessary also mention and judge the proper place - seat of an individual/a legal entity which is connected with taxation to the individual country. And take possibility of international tax planning into consideration. The aim of the thesis is to find and choose the most appropriate legal form of the enterprise to the potential entrepreneur.
