Act no. 235/2004 Coll., Value Added Tax (hereinafter "the VAT Act"), is for non-profit organizations very difficult area, because of its frequent amendment. Also its meaning and content is for many of these organizations difficult to understand. This thesis wants to provide non-profit organizations comprehensive overview of the issue of value added tax. In addition to the application of special provisions of the VAT Act this thesis also focuses on provisions which relate generally to all taxpayers. The aim is the elimination of errors, in which non-profit organizations make mistakes. The most problematic provisions in practice are those which bind to the registration or vice versa deregistration. Problematic provisions are also those which relate to the right to deduct VAT on received taxable supplies. The practical part of this thesis is dedicated to these provisions.

The digital economy is growing exponentially. Companies such as Facebook and Instagram base their business model on supplying services completely free of charge to billions of users.  This model of business is called “Freeconomics”. These companies generate huge profits from the exploitation of personal data provided by Users. The peculiarity of this way of doing business, although this may seem absurd, is that the company's profit is directly proportional to the number of non-paying users. Such situations have given rise to discussions regarding the powerlessness of the tax system of states to levy tax on such profits. Regarding the indirect taxation, the question is even more difficult if one considers free digital services and personal data. Unfortunately, this flow of “digital” consumption remains completely out of a VAT assessment. Exclude a priori those transactions from being assessed for VAT purposes only because it could be arduous to assess the consumption would result in a violation of the principle of neutrality. Accordingly, issues related to the distortion of competition could also arise. The author of this thesis examines the assumption that between the Companies and the Users take place a reciprocal exchange of benefits in kind characterized by a synallagmatic relationship (quid pro quo) in the form of barter. The results of the analysis indicate that the transactions characterized by the supply of free digital services to Users in exchange for personal data - as described in the Business Reference Model - actually fall within the scope of Article 2 (1)(c) of the EU VAT Directive and therefore must be subject to indirect taxation.

After accession to the European Union, tax issues acquired and are still acquiring an entirely new character. A new legal environment is forming both in the Czech Republic and in the European Union. Until now, only indirect taxes have been harmonised, with direct taxes having remained in the domain of each member state. However, we are now feeling pressure to harmonise this area as well. Cases concerning value added tax belong to those that are now most often being resolved in front of the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg. Cases regarding direct taxes are also becoming increasingly important. Will direct taxes be harmonized to the same extent as indirect taxes have? When potential investor is considering his investment into a company, he needs to match comparable figures. Definitely, one of the most important criterions is the amount of profit after taxation followed by payout of dividends. If there are different ways of taxation of corporations in various EU Member States, then there would be no possibility to compare corporations placed in various EU Member States objectively. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is, based on the research in the whole EU regarding taxation of corporations, to suggest a method how to harmonize taxation of corporations, which now prevents companies from trading in a single EU market, and also to minimize corporation’s costs of fulfilment of tax administration requirements of each Member State. This aim has been achieved through the following partial aims: .. An analysis of taxation of corporations in each of all 27 EU Member States, .. An analysis of proposals of the European Commission regarding harmonisation of taxation of companies, .. Suggestion of own method of harmonization of taxation of corporations in the EU. In conclusion, there are emphasized the contributions of this thesis to the science, to the practice and to education.

This essay is divided into three parts, each one with its own chapters, which can be divided into: the theoretical instruments as starting point; the instruments and structures which have pertinence with this work thru a research into national and comparative law texts; and the clearing of the studied legal institutes with its specificities and connecting points. The first part deals with the fundaments of Legal Logics and Linguistics Theory adopted and its counterweights and complements in System s Theory, resulting in the third chapter which is the consolidation of the theoretical support used in this work. Second part defines the institutes of Brazilian law, specially, using the Matrix Rule of Tax Incidence, focusing into the manifestation of the word tax and into the taxable basis. Also, there is a chapter dedicated to the problems of the international law coupled to the problems deriving from the integration with the internal law, specially, with tax law. Last Part, with three chapters, was meant to define and demonstrate the application of each one of the studied institutes, which are: customs valuation and transfer pricing. Final chapter deals with the interaction between these two institutes in their structures, functions and relationships, pointing out convergences and perspectives / Primeiramente, deve ser elucidado que a forma de abordagem científica deste trabalho é direcionada pelo acoplamento entre Teoria da Linguagem e Teoria dos Sistemas. Este texto é dividido em três partes, cada uma com capítulos próprios que delimitam: os instrumentos teóricos utilizados como ponto de partida; os instrumentos e estruturas que guardam relação de pertinência com o trabalho através de uma pesquisa no direito brasileiro e comparado; e a elucidação dos institutos a serem estudados com suas especificidades e pontos de conexão. A primeira parte trata de enumerar os fundamentos da Lógica Jurídica e da Teoria da Linguagem adotados e seus contrapontos e complementos na Teoria dos Sistemas, resultando no terceiro capítulo que é a consolidação do suporte teórico final utilizado. Segunda parte trata de definições trazidas pelo direito brasileiro, em especial utilizando-se da estrutura da Regra-matriz de Incidência Tributária, focalizando nas manifestações do vocábulo tributo e na base de cálculo tributária. Ainda, existe um capítulo dedicado aos problemas do direito internacional acoplados aos problemas derivantes da integração com o direito interno, em especial com o direito tributário. Parte final, de três capítulos, foi destinada a definir e demonstrar a aplicação de cada um dos institutos estudados, que sejam: valoração aduaneira e preços de transferência. Capítulo final trata das interações entre estes dois institutos em suas estruturas, funções e relações, apontando convergências e perspectivas

EG-rätten är en egen rättsordning som har företräde framför den nationella rätten, vilket innebär att medlemsstaterna har en skyldighet att följa EG-rätten. Förverkligandet av målet om att skapa en inre marknad inom EG förutsätter ett gemensamt system för mervärdesskatt. Flera direktiv har antagits för att harmonisera mervärdesskatten inom gemenskapen. Mervärdesskatt är en generell konsumtionsskatt som skall bäras av slutkonsumenten. Ett avdragssystem säkerställer att skattebördan vältras framåt för att slutligen belasta slutkonsumenten. En skattskyldig person som förvärvar varor till sin verksamhet medges därmed avdrag för ingående mervärdesskatt. Vid uttag eller användning av dessa varor för privat ändamål skall den skattskyldiga personen behandlas som en slutkonsument. Motsvarande regler återfinns även när en skattskyldig person tillhandahåller tjänster för privat ändamål. Uttagsbeskattning skall ske för att förhindra att en skattskyldig person uppnår en otillbörlig fördel genom att undvika beskattning på den egna konsumtionen. Uttagsbeskattning sker genom att transaktionerna likställs med tillhandahållande av varor och tjänster mot ersättning. Enligt uttagsbestämmelserna i mervärdesskattelagen aktualiseras uttagsbeskattning när en skattskyldig person tillhandahåller en vara eller en tjänst utan ersättning eller mot en ersättning som understiger självkostnadspriset för den tillhandahållna varan eller tjänsten. I målet Gåsabäck från år 2005 konstaterar EG-domstolen att uttag för privat ändamål inte kan föreligga, enligt artiklarna 16 och 26.1 b i mervärdesskattedirektivet, när en skattskyldig person tillhandahåller varor eller tjänster mot en faktisk ersättning och detta även när ersättningen understiger självkostnadspriset för den tillhandahållna varan eller tjänsten. Således är mervärdesskattelagens uttagsbestämmelser inte förenliga med EG-rätten. Trots domen i målet Gåsabäck beslutar Skatterättsnämnden i ett förhandsbesked från år 2007 att uttagsbeskattning skall ske, enligt artikel 26.1 a i mervärdesskattedirektivet, när en skattskyldig person låter de anställda använda företagets personbilar mot en symbolisk ersättning. Skatterättsnämnden anser att beslutet inte strider mot EG-rätten eftersom det är fråga om användning av en vara i rörelsen och inte, såsom i målet Gåsabäck, tillhandahållande av en tjänst. Frågan är om förhandsbeskedet strider mot EG-rätten. Omständigheter i målet Gåsabäck tyder på att uttagsbeskattning aldrig kan aktualiseras när en ersättning utgår för en transaktion. / The European Community, EC, constitutes a new legal order, the European Community law, EC law. In situations of conflicts between national law and Community law, the EC law has supremacy, which means that the Member States are obliged to follow the EC law. The attainment of the objective of establishing an internal market within the EC presupposes a common system of value added tax, VAT. Several directives have been admitted for harmonising the VAT in the Community. VAT is a general tax on consumption, where the final consumer carries the burden of the tax. A deduction system ensures that the tax burden is brought forward until it reaches the final consumer. If the taxable person has been able to deduct input VAT on purchase of goods used for his business and then apply or use those goods for his own private use, the taxable person will be treated as a final consumer. Similarly, the taxable person will be treated as a final consumer when he supplies services for his own private use. To ensure that taxable persons do not take unfair advantage by avoiding tax on self-consumption, the transactions shall be treated as supplies of goods or services for consideration. The purpose of treating the transactions as supplies of goods or services for consideration is to ensure that VAT is a tax on final consumption. According to the Swedish VAT act, the application of goods or services for private use is to be understood to mean supplies of goods or services either free of charge or for a consideration which is less than the cost price of the goods or services supplied. In the case Gåsabäck 2005 the European Court of Justice concludes that supplies of goods and services that are effected for an actual consideration can not be regarded as an application of goods or services for private use according to articles 16 and 26.1 b of the VAT directive. This is also applied if that consideration is less than the cost price of the goods or services supplied. Consequently, the Swedish VAT act is inconsistent with the EC law. In a prelimi-nary decision of 19 January 2007, the Skatterättsnämnden decides that the use of goods forming part of the assets of a business shall, according to article 26.1 a of the VAT directive, be treated as a supply of services for consideration, although an actual consideration is paid for the transaction. The Skatterättsnämnden consider that the decision is consistent with the EC law since there are not the same services as in the case Gåsabäck. The question is if the decision is inconsistent with the EC law. Circumstances in the case Gåsabäck indicates that transactions that are effected for an actual consideration can never be regarded as an application of goods or services for private use.

This work analyzes the legal regulation of registering payers of the VAT, aiming to determine and solve problems, which arise for the payers of VAT when registering to become as such and for the State Tax Inspectorate when administering and controlling this process. Mostly the Lithuanian Republic Law on Value Added Tax and the EU Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC regulations are analyzed. By applying document analysis and other related methods, it was determined that registration as a VAT payer is actually the right of the persons, not the duty. However, the implementation of this right is burdened by ambiguous regulations in the law and its official commentary. Difficulties especially arise when identifying persons who could be registered as VAT payers. In addition, it was confirmed that many other aspects important to the registration as VAT payers, e.g. „economic activity“, „intention to do economic activity“, „random transaction“, lack definition, which may cause uncertainty for Lithuanian and foreign persons who are registering. Prevention of fraud, where the actions of registration as VAT payers control are aimed at, greatly depends on the freedom of actions granted to the State Tax Inspectorate by the legal acts. Therefore, the author draws attention to the risk, which is related to the choice of the proper methods of control and implementation without violating the interests of the state and the taxpayers. At the end of the thesis, together with conclusions, the... [to full text]

The main aim of the thesis is to analyse the national reverse charge in the building industry with a focus on the effect on the selected provider. However, the aim of this study is not only to outline an influence and effect on the business sphere, but make such a methodical basis, which would improve awareness not only in the business sphere but also in the general public.
