This research critically investigates the adoption and implementation of transfer pricing regulations in Nigeria with a particular emphasis on the petroleum sector. It opportunely chose Nigeria as a case study of transfer pricing issues in developing countries as Nigeria was devising and implementing its own transfer pricing regulation. In early 2012, Nigeria issued draft transfer pricing regulations for consultation with a view to publishing them at the end of the same year. In order to gauge the reaction of the stakeholders in Nigeria to the adoption and implementation of transfer pricing regulations and other related issues, a questionnaire was designed and administered to 140 respondents from eight different stakeholders groups including Nigerian tax authority, multinational companies in the petroleum sector and other organisations involved in tax matters. The questionnaire elicited their views on the (i) form of adoption of transfer pricing regulations; (ii) motive behind the adoption of the regulations; (iii) administrative resource capacity of the Nigerian tax authority; (iv) barriers that might hinder successful implementation of the regulations; and (v) needs for guidance and support. Institutional theory and resource-based view were employed as a theoretical lens through which to guide the study and to provide a platform against which to analyse the responses to the questionnaire and the interviews. The analysis of the responses to the questionnaire was thus undertaken subsequent to the adoption of the transfer pricing system which enabled informed reflection and critical analysis to be carried out on the results of the analysis. In addition, interviews with 16 experts were conducted subsequent to the issue and preliminary analysis of the responses to the questionnaire in order to gauge their reaction to the views being expressed by the respondents. This enabled a reflective analysis to be undertaken when assessing the information content emerging from the responses. The findings of the study indicate that the OECD transfer pricing framework, which is the transfer pricing system of choice amongst the developed countries, is not the most preferred framework for the regulation of transfer pricing in Nigeria. It also reveals that whilst the Nigerian tax authority has the administrative capacity to develop a transfer pricing team and other necessary platforms for the adoption and implementation of transfer pricing regulations, the lack of sufficient transfer pricing experts, political will and inadequate comparable information are the major potential barriers that might hinder the successful implementation of transfer pricing regulations in Nigeria. These findings should enable policy makers and other stakeholders in Nigeria to review their transfer pricing policies and find a way to overcome the identified potential barriers. This thesis is the first of its kind to empirically investigate the transfer pricing regulations in Nigeria with a particular emphasis on the petroleum sector. It also further establishes the use of institutional theory and resource-based view framework in transfer pricing studies and especially, by extending its application to the adoption and implementation of transfer pricing regulations with a particular emphasis on the petroleum sector.

59 Tax Search - English summary The aim of this work is to describe the basics of tax search of Czech tax authorities in view of new tax procedure act, and jurisdiction. In 2011 a new Tax Procedure Act has come into operation. It affects all tax procedures including tax search. It has established new principles of tax procedures, and has also included some jurisdiction. However, it has also established some new questions, that must be sold by new jurisdiction. Tax search is a specific procedure how government, using its special agencies - usually Tax Authority Offices, monitors declared taxes. Sometime tax authorities think their work is so important that there is no limitation in used tools. Then a court must say there is a limitation not only in act but also in principles of good administration. Some of these opinions were included into the new act, some were left intact since government does not agree with them. Tax search must have its goal. According to Constitutional Court a tax authority cannot start arbitrarily but there must be some suspicions, and a prove of it. Tax search alone can be separated into 3 parts - beginning, process, and conclusion. All these parts have their guidelines. Especially at the beginning tax authority can start tax search in given time of 3 years, and whole tax search must...

Purpose: The overall purpose of this thesis is to provide an analysis of the effects of the documentation requirements on transfer pricing and provide a clearer picture of the documentation requirements in transfer pricing. Furthermore, the purpose is to analyze whether the chosen method of Superfos is adequate related to the new regulations. Background: In 2007, new regulations concerning the documentation of transfer pricing was enacted in Swedish law based on OECD guidelines. This change has led to new internal guidelines for companies regarding their transfer pricing work since the requirements apply to both Swedish owned companies and foreign owned companies. Furthermore, with this change, a great uncertainty about the requirements is shared by companies. Method: This thesis has been conducted as a qualitative case study with Superfos as the case company. A deductive approach has been used and the collection of data consists of both primary and secondary data. Primary in the form of an interview with the finance manager at Superfos and secondary through the use of the Swedish tax authority's stated guidelines concerning transfer pricing as well as books, journals and databases. Conclusion: In the conclusion we present a clarifying model of the documentation in transfer pricing based on the data collected for this thesis. In six steps, a clarifying picture of the overview, company structure, transactions identification, functional analysis, comparability analysis and results is provided.

The relationship between earnings management and tax manipulation has been discussed in academia recently. We contribute to this discussion by using a list of tax evader companies, to test the relationship. The list was supplied by the Swedish Tax Agency and consists of public companies from the Swedish stock exchanges. Our findings show that tax evader companies are more prone to manage their earnings and that they do it by reporting small earnings. The effect of labelling the companies as tax manipulators does also not change the extent that they manipulate their earnings in the future. There is therefore no disciplinary effect from the tax evader fine on a manipulating company to behave more credible in the future. Out of our results the most unexpected was however that when we compare the NASDAQ companies with the ones listed on less liquid stock exchanges the NASDAQ ones were more pervasive in managing their earnings. This goes against our own hypothesis as well as previous literature and shows that investors have to be careful also when investing in premium markets.

The main purpose of this article is to give a tax approach about the tax credit insurers which is generated as product replenishment of goods in case of accidents, and thus determine whether or not to use the tax credit referred.From the analysis made in respect of the different doctrinal positions which are presented about the controversy to be develop in this article, we can conclude by saying that when insurance companies deliver goods to the insured as a result of claims do nothing that operations that are part of its line of business, and in that sense, being goods that are required to achieve their economic ends is that in any way, our tax authorities should fix the tax credit that would have been generated concept the acquisition of the property that was the subject of insurance, even more if, as we have indicated the economic purpose of VAT is to tax the final consumer of goods and services, and achieve tax neutrality (application of the tax credit). / El presente artículo tiene como principal objetivo otorgar un enfoque tributario del crédito fiscal de las empresas aseguradoras que se genera producto de la reposición de bienes en caso de siniestros, y de esta manera determinar si corresponde o no utilizar el referido crédito fiscal.A partir del análisis efectuado respecto de las diferentes posturas que se presentan a nivel doctrinario con ocasión de la controversia que desarrollaremos en el presente artículo, podemos concluir señalando que las empresas de seguros, cuando entregan bienes a los asegurados como consecuencia de los siniestros, no hacen más que efectuar operaciones que son parte de su giro de negocio y, en tal sentido, al tratarse de bienes que son requeridos para lograr sus fines económicos es que, en ningún sentido, nuestra Administración Tributaria debería reparar el crédito fiscal que se hubiera generado por concepto de la adquisición del bien que fue objeto de seguro; más aún si, conforme hemos indicado la finalidad económica del IGV es gravar al consumidor final de los bienes y servicios, y lograr la neutralidad del impuesto (aplicación del crédito fiscal).

The submitted diploma thesis deals with the tax authority of municipalities in the area of the real estate tax. The aim of the thesis is to find out the measure of using real estate tax coefficients by the individual size of municipalities and then analyse reasons for their using or wasting. The analysis of using real estate tax coefficients and reasons of their using or wasting was performed in two regions, Jihočeský and Ústecký. The data was collected by questionnaires on the chosen sample of municipalities in the individual size of municipalities. The secondary data was collected from statistic published by the General financial headquarters. The gained data shows that some of real estate tax coefficients are used by 52 % of municipalities. However, more municipalities using the possibility of putting coefficients in place are located in Ústecký region. The least coefficients are used by municipalities in the size of ones up to 2 000 inhabitants, which are from all the groups the most influenced by the opinions of inhabitants.
