Impôt général de consommation qui frappe la dépense ou la consommation, ainsi que l’introduction en Guinée de biens ou de services, la TVA est un impôt propice à une maximisation des recettes fiscales dont l’État a besoin pour financer son développement. Ses nombreux avantages et qualités, notamment sa productivité financière, sa neutralité économique, ses possibilités à moderniser un système fiscal, etc., qui ont motivé la Guinée à opter pour ce mode de taxation, en 1996, sont remis en cause. Le système de la TVA en Guinée gagnerait à être réexaminé. Des mécanismes plus rigoureux permettraient de mieux intégrer la TVA au système fiscal et de promouvoir un environnement économique et budgétaire favorable en République de Guinée : l’instauration du taux de la TVA réduit jusqu’à zéro à la place des exonérations, l’élimination de la limitation de droit à déduction, ou encore la définition de normes de reversement de la taxe pour certaines catégories de contribuables et la gestion efficace de la retenue à la source sont des démarches, parmi tant d’autres, à mettre en œuvre pour soulager les entreprises et améliorer le système de la TVA en Guinée / General tax of consumption that applies on expense or consumption, as well as import of goods and services to Guinea, the VAT is a tax tool to maximize tax revenues needed by the State to finance its development. Its many advantages and quality, such as its financial productivity, economic neutrality, possibility of financial system modernization, etc. that motivated Guinea to opt for that tax mode, in 1996, are now contested. The Guinean VAT system will gain to be revisited. Rigorous mechanisms will allow the integration of the VAT in the tax system, and promote a better economic and budget environment in Republic of Guinea: The instauration of a VAT with a lowered rate to near zero, to replace exonerations; the suppression of limitation for tax deductions; or the definition of norms of tax return for some categories of taxpayers, and the efficient management tax collected at the source, are processes amount many others, to implement in order to give some relieve to businesses and improve the VAT system in Guinea

Práce na téma ekonomické aktivity mezi mateřskou a dceřinou společností z pohledu daně z přidané hodnoty a daně z příjmů se věnuje analýze a hodnocení dvou možných způsobů podnikání české banky na území Slovenské republiky. Prvním způsobem je založení provozovny české banky na Slovensku, druhým způsobem založení dceřiné společnosti této banky na Slovensku. Práce analyzuje a vyhodnocuje rozdíly jak ve způsobu zdanění příjmů mateřské a dceřiné společnosti, zdanění příjmů českého provozovatele slovenské provozovny a této slovenské provozovny, tak rozdíly ve způsobu uplatňování DPH u těchto subjektů. Cílem práce je analýza rozhodovacích kritérií, s důrazem na ta daňová, která by mohla hrát roli při výběru způsobu podnikání české společnosti na Slovensku. Uvedené závěry se dají analogicky aplikovat při volbě způsobu podnikání také v jakémkoliv jiném členském státě Evropské unie, samozřejmě za předpokladu, že přihlédneme ke konkrétním právním úpravám těchto jiných členských států.

The master's thesis deals with the value added tax (VAT) in the area of education. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part defines the definition of education according with the VAT law and VAT application rules in this area. The practical part is divided into two parts. The first one contains an analysis of the transformation from position as a VAT non-payer to position as a VAT payer of specific school subject. The second part is focused on comparing the tax position of the school in different legal forms of business and on the analysing the consequences in VAT application on school as a non-profit subject and on school established as a business subject. It pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of VAT application on school subjects with proposals to modify current legislation in this area.

This master thesis analyses the relationship between state budgetary revenues from indirect taxes, the number of existing indirect tax rates and the level of those taxes. In particular, this thesis strives to investigate whether an increase in the number of indirect tax rates and higher tax rates lead to a measurable increase in the net tax revenue of a given state. The analysis uses tax-related data from 39 European countries collected between 1993 and 2014 and includes a total number of 746 observations. In order to arrive at the estimated results, this thesis uses the general method of moments analysis (GMM) along with the Arellano-Bond estimator. Results obtained through the GMM analysis suggest that, ceteris paribus, the introduction of one additional indirect tax rate leads to a decrease of net tax revenue of the state vis-a-vis its gross domestic product by 1,03 percentage points. The relationship between the level of indirect tax rate and the state's net revenues appears to be non-linear. Specifically, the increase of indirect tax rate by one percentage point appears to be associated with an increase of state's net revenue vis-a-vis its gross domestic product by approximately one percentage point.

This diploma thesis is focused on the issue of chain transactions. The main aim of the thesis is to suggest the companies participating in the model chain transactions in the case study the appropriate measures leading to the optimization of tax obligations related to VAT. The measures are divided according to three criteria: tax period harmonization, tax savings in cash flow and elimination of administrative burden. The key provisions in the recast of the Sixth Directive, the VAT Act and the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union are analyzed. Based on the comparison of various solutions, the most optimal procedures are assessed and the appropriate measures are recommended.

The Diploma Thesis deals with estimation of tax evation of value-added tax in the Czech Republic during 2006-2010. For the estimate we have used the concept of tax gap (in the case of VAT we speak about VAT gap), which is based on comparison of theoretical tax liability of the economy with the actual tax receipts. An international comparison of the Czech Republic VAT gap with available data of other countries has been made as well. The Thesis includes further description of tax evation types specific for VAT and other approaches to measurement of tax evation. Role of the shadow economy measurement used for tax evation estimates is accounted for.

This thesis is composed of free main chapters. The first two chapters of is a theoretical part. The first chapter is devoted to the theory of economic policy and analysis of economic indicators. The second chapter concerns the econometric theory and describes vector autoregression models theory and econometric forecasting. In the third, practical part, aims to find out with the help of real data of the Czech economy impacts of alternative VAT rates on selected indicators of the czech economy, these indicators are gross domestic product, unemployment rate and consumer price index. As a tool to determine the impact of using models and vector autoregression method scenarios.

The aim of this thesis is to analyze the economic effects of the VAT rate changes to the czech households. Under investigation are three VAT rate regimes including the standard VAT rate and the reduced VAT rate of 21% and 15%, the uniform VAT rate of 17,5% and the standard VAT rate and two reduced VAT rates of 21%, 15% and 10%. The first of two intermediate aims of this thesis is to assign the appropriate tax rate to divisions, groups and classes of the classification CZ-COICOP at each of the evaluated VAT rate regimes. The second intermediate aim is to evaluate impacts of different tax burden caused by different VAT rate regime to the czech households devided into deciles by their income.

E-commerce and transactions in virtual worlds has monetary value and may lead to actual cash flows. Where real money trade occurs tax authorities are bound to seek ways and means in which to levy and collect taxes (Pienaar, 2008:38). Previous research on the application of the South African income tax laws to transactions in virtual worlds has been conducted. The application of the charging section of the value added tax laws in South Africa has also been researched in the context of e-commerce and transactions in virtual worlds. Limited research has been conducted on the actual value added tax collection methods in the context of e-commerce and transactions in virtual worlds. This study critically analyses the value added tax collection methods employed in South Africa in the context of ecommerce and transactions in virtual worlds and compares the extent of its application to the extent of the goods and services tax collection methods’ application employed in Australia in this context. The study concludes that that the value added tax collection methods employed in South Africa and the goods and services tax collection methods employed in Australia are similar. Special rules have been adopted in Australia to ensure goods and service taxes are collected on the supply electronic goods. This is not the case in South Africa. However, in the case of transactions in virtual worlds, both countries’ collection methods struggle in ensuring value added tax and goods and service taxes is collected where the supplier of a virtual item is foreign in relation to South Africa or Australia. AFRIKAANS : E-commerce en transaksies in virtuele wêrelde het monetêre waarde en mag in sekere omstandighede kontantvloeie tot gevolg bring. Wanneer regte geld verhandel word sal belasting owerhede altyd maniere soek om belasting the hef op die onderliggende transaksies en dit in te vorder (Pienaar, 2008:38). Vorige navorsing rakende die toepassing van die Suid Afrikaanse inkomste belasting wetgewing in virtuele wêrelde is al voorheen gedoen. The toepassing van die heffings artikel in the belasting op toegevoegde waarde (BTW) wetgewing op e-commerce en transaksies in virtuele wêrelde was ook al vorheen nagevors. Min navorsing was gevind wat aleenlik fokus op die invorderings meganismes in die BTW wetgewing in die konteks van transaksies in virtuele wêrelde en e-commerce. Hierdie studie analiseer krities die toepassing van die invorderings meganismes in die Suid Afrikaanse BTW wetgewing in die konteks van e-commerce en transaksies in virtuele wêrelde en vergelyk die toepassing daarvan met die toepassing van die Australiaanse goods and services tax wetgewing se invorderings meganismes in dieselfde konteks. Die studie lig uit dat die twee lande se invorderings meganismes baie dieselfde is. The Australiaanse wetgewing maak egter spesiale voorsiening vir lewerings met betrekking tot e-commerce. Dit is nie die geval in Suid Afrika nie. Met betrekking tot transaksies in virtuele wêrelde sukkel beide lande se invorerings meganismes om seker maak dat BTW en goods and services tax ingevorder word waar die verskaffer nie Suid Afrikaans of Australiaans is nie. / Dissertation (MCom)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Taxation / unrestricted

The general mindset of most vendors is that if they have a valid tax invoice, they can claim all their input VAT. They are, however, not aware of the requirements of section 17(1) of the Value-Added Tax Act. Section 17(1) explains that vendors cannot claim all their input tax if their expense relates to both taxable and non-taxable supplies and that, consequently, input tax need to be apportioned in some or other way. There are several methods of apportionment available to vendors of which the turnover-based method is the only approved method by the South African Revenue Service (SARS) for which no ruling is necessary. This study investigates the most common methods used by vendors, how these methods function and also under which circumstances these methods are recommended. The sectors that are influenced the most by this provision in the Value-Added Tax Act are banks, universities and municipalities. These sectors have large amounts of exempt supplies but also taxable supplies with expenses incurred that cannot be allocated specifically to a certain income. Therefore, a method of apportionment should be used to allocate the input VAT. Information was obtained through financial reports and questionnaires from 29 entities in South Africa. The information was used to calculate an average percentage of apportionment in each sector and also to establish which method of apportionment is the most commonly used method of apportionment in each sector. The conclusion was drawn that there might, under certain circumstances, be uncertainty on whether some income should be included or excluded in the apportionment calculation. Under these circumstances, it is recommended that a ruling should be obtained from SARS to avoid problems in the future.
