nÃo hà / O Estado, em busca da maximizaÃÃo da arrecadaÃÃo do ICMS para cumprimento de sua missÃo institucional, potencializa aÃÃes de monitoramento e fiscalizaÃÃo dos contribuintes com o intuito de recuperar crÃditos tributÃrios que ficaram à margem da arrecadaÃÃo. O contraditÃrio se instaura no momento em que o sujeito passivo, nÃo concordando com a exigÃncia fiscal, resiste a esta pretensÃo atravÃs de impugnaÃÃo ou revelia. Neste estudo, foi utilizado o modelo de regressÃo logÃstica binÃria, em que a variÃvel resposta à dicotÃmica, e esta dicotomia à representada por realizaÃÃo de âperÃciaâ ou âsem perÃciaâ, com o objetivo de âestimar a probabilidade de pedido de perÃcias fisco-contÃbeis nos processos que transitaram em julgado no CONAT, no perÃodo de 2001 a 2011â. Os resultados apontam que a associaÃÃo das variÃveis explicativas: crÃdito tributÃrio original, setores de atividades da fiscalizaÃÃo e grupos de penalidades comprovam aumento da probabilidade de pedidos de perÃcias na esfera administrativa. / The state seeking for the maximization of tax revenues of ICMS to comply its institutional mission leverages the monitoring actions and audits of taxpayers for the purpose of retrieval of tax credits that stayed out of the Levy. The contradictory is established at the time when the taxable person does not agree with the tax requirement resisting this claim through contest or default. In the present study the model of binary logistic regression, where the response variable is dichotomous, and this dichotomy was represented by realization of âinspectionâ or âNon-inspectionâ, with the objective of "estimate the probability of request of treasure and accounting inspection on the processes that are res judicata at CONAT, in the period 2001-2011â. The results indicate that the association of explanatory variables: the original tax credit, the inspection activities sectors and groups of penalties show increased likelihood of requests for inspection administratively.

This thesis investigates the direct and indirect financial support for families in the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Poland and Slovak. The first part focuses on the definition of social policy and its main principles, as well as dealing with family politics, history and development of the family and characterizes the welfare state models and types of family policy. The various types of direct and indirect financial support, amounts and conditions of entitlement in selected states are described in the second part. The third part deals with the comparison of selected family benefits and tax credits, especially in terms of the amount and terms of the entitlement. Finally focuses on the analysis and a summary of the findings.

abstract: Research and Development (R&D) tax credits are one of the most widely adopted policies state governments use to incentivize R&D spending by firms operating in a state. R&D spending is associated with increases in firm productivity, innovation, and higher wages. However, most studies into these tax credits examine only the effect the credit has on firm-based R&D spending and assume the increases in R&D spending mean states are receiving the social and economic benefits endogenous growth theory predicts. This dissertation connects R&D tax credits with the expected outcomes of R&D spending increases to evaluate the efficacy of the tax credits. Specifically, the dissertation connects R&D tax credits to the movement of researchers between states, innovative activity, and state fiscal health. The study uses a panel of U.S. PhD graduates and a fixed-effects linear probability model to show R&D tax credits have a small but statistically significant impact on PhDs moving to states that have the tax credit. Using a structural equation model and a latent innovation variable, the dissertation shows R&D tax credits have a small but significant impact on innovative activity mediated by R&D spending. Finally, the dissertation examines the effect of R&D tax credits on a state’s short- and long-run fiscal health by using a distributed lag model to illustrate R&D tax credits are associated with decreases with fiscal health. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Public Administration and Policy 2020

The study analyzed variation among low income housing tax credit (LIHTC) allocation policies as outlined in state qualified action plans (QAP) and their impacts on the siting patterns of LIHTC properties in proximity to high performing schools. The study was performed nationwide across 37 states and controlled for factors relevant to the development location decision using census-based population characteristics and LIHTC property attributes. The purpose was to determine the effectiveness of LIHTC QAP allocation policies in motivating developers to site their developments near high-performing schools. QAPs typically use points when awarding tax credits competitively, and this study focused on points awarded for (1) access to high quality schools, (2) access to any schools, and (3) location in areas with attributes expected to correlate strongly with high quality schools. Multi-level linear modeling estimated that points for access to any schools had a significant and positive effect on location in a high performing school's catchment area, but other allocation policy variables had no significant effects. The findings inform readers about the ability of current allocation policy to influence developer actions, and discussion centers on policy recommendations and the need for further research. / Master of Urban and Regional Planning

A number of studies show that school facilities in the United States are deteriorating and that a substantial outlay of financial capital is required to bring school facilities to good overall condition. The current economic environment, marked by slow growth, high unemployment, and low tax revenues has highlighted widespread issues with the financial condition and fiscal sustainability of local governments. While studies show that the success of the educational process is related to the condition of school facilities, providing a safe and effective educational environment for students and teachers is a great challenge for local governments. Alternative sources of funding for the rehabilitation of old schools, which would reduce the need for long-term debt financing, are worth exploring. Federal and state historic rehabilitation tax incentive programs have proven to be successful in bringing private capital, economic activity, and jobs to distressed areas around the country, while being largely fiscally self sustaining. Current legislation, however, does not make the federal tax credit program easily accessible to public schools, and a significant court decision has the potential to undermine the viability of the entire Virginia program. This study examined the financial costs and benefits of historic tax credit financing for school construction in Virginia, investigated administrative issues related to the private-public nature of the program, and finally analyzed the relevant public policy issues. The study followed a case study methodology of two schools in Virginia which utilized historic tax credit financing, and four schools which utilized traditional financing for renovation. This study will expand the body of knowledge of modern education financing and enrich the existing literature by introducing a financing alternative that includes a private-public partnership. The study will also be of great value to policymakers, public administrators, the investor community, and the public at large as they evaluate financing alternatives for school construction.
