Tax Complexity and Firm Tax Evasion: A Cross-Country Investigation

This paper endeavours to investigate whether a complex tax system influences firms’ propensity toward tax evasion across countries. To achieve the objectives of this study, we utilised the World Bank Enterprise Survey and the World Bank’s Doing Business databases covering more than 46,000 companies from 83 countries. Our study revealed that the increased time required to pay taxes and higher total tax payments were associated with a greater extent and incidence of tax evasion among firms. The consistency of these benchmark regression results was proven through endogeneity analysis and several robustness tests. Furthermore, our heterogeneity analyses showed that the effect of tax complexity on firm tax evasion was more prominent in low- and lower-middle-income countries and also in the primary industry. These findings offer promising evidence for policymakers, particularly in low- and lower-middle-income countries where the majority of companies operate in the primary industry. Addressing the complexity of the tax system could potentially mitigate the adverse impact on tax evasion levels in these countries. Furthermore, our spatial analysis provides valuable insights, emphasising the potential impact of tax complexity in neighbouring countries and underscoring the necessity for policymakers in the home countries to strategise on harmonising and streamlining their tax systems.

Реформирование пенсионной системы для плательщиков налога на профессиональный доход: региональная платформа

The difficulties that arose after the entry into force of the Federal Law “On conducting an experiment to estab-lish a special tax regime “Tax on professional income”” dated November 27, 2018 No. 422-FZ require a com-prehensive study and modification of the legislative framework. Many citizens who pay tax on professional in-come do not make contributions to the pension insurance system, which is one of the reasons for the high sub-sidy dependence of the Social Fund of Russia on the federal budget. According to the authors, it is necessary to develop a way to attract citizens to participate in the pension insurance program. The article considers an ex-ample of a possible solution to this issue: the introduction of tax deduction for taxpayers of tax on professional income in part of the tax paid, and assesses its impact on the regional budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Tax Structure of India and Bangladesh: A Comparative Study

This study delves into the tax structures of India and Bangladesh, focusing on key indicators like tax-to-GDP ratio, overall tax payments, time to comply, number of tax payments, and total tax rate. India's total tax rate, though decreasing, still surpasses Bangladesh's, requiring competitiveness for economic growth.

A Game Model Analysis of the International Digital Service Tax in an Asymmetric Market Duopoly

Against the backdrop of the rapidly expanding digital economy, multinational corporations are increasingly exploiting information asymmetry in the market to employ covert and diverse methods of tax avoidance. This poses a significant challenge to tax collection and administration. The proposal of a digital service tax aims to adapt the international tax system to the digitalization of the economy, ensuring fair and reasonable tax payments. To address these challenges, this article assumes an asymmetric international digital economy market and a domestic market characterized by duopoly. It establishes an asymmetric market duopoly game, calculates the digital gains of each country's market using the logistic function, determines the Nash equilibrium of the data service tax game, and analyzes the relationship between the digital service tax rates of strong and weak countries in the digital economy.

The London money market and non-British bank lending during the first globalisation: evidence from Brazil

AbstractThis study examines the relationship between the London money market (LMM) and the credit provision of non-British overseas banks in peripheral economies during the first wave of globalisation. Using monthly data between 1889 and 1913, we find a positive relationship between the amount of credit authorised by the German Brasilianische Bank für Deutschland in Brazil and the spread between the London market and floating rate. Our results suggest that increased demand for foreign bills and/or decreased borrowing costs in the LMM leads to an increase in credit supply. We use the impact of annual tax payments on the spread between the market and floating rate as an instrumental variable (IV) to show that this relationship is causal. Although there is a significant amount of literature on London’s historic role as a global financial centre and a growing number of studies on foreign banking history, little quantitative evidence is available about the connection between the two. This study bridges this gap.

Corporate social responsibility and labor tax avoidance: Evidence from Spain

AbstractThis study expands on the scope of firms' social responsibility and analyzes the relationship between Environmental Social Governance (ESG) and a commonly neglected aspect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), which is tax payment – specifically, the payment of labor taxes. To test the research hypothesis, this study utilizes ESG data from Refinitiv Eikon and consolidated accounting data collected from Sistemas de Análisis de Balances Ibéricos (SABI) and applies panel data estimation. The regression results indicate that CSR has a negative and significant relationship with Labor Tax Avoidance (LTAV). This negative relationship remains robust and significant across different estimation methods and measures of CSR and LTAV. Our research suggests that managerial and practical concerns regarding social responsibility awareness are related to firms' decisions, impacting both society and employees, particularly concerning the avoidance of labor taxes.

Determinant Factors Affecting Compliance MSME Taxpayers (Case Study of Cipadang Village Community)

Given that taxes represent the primary revenue source in Indonesia, the government places significant emphasis on the tax processing procedure. Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) receive a government-borne incentive of 0.5 percent Final Income Tax, underscoring the government's support for this sector. With 64.2 million MSMEs in Indonesia in 2019, comprising 99.99% of all business entities, these taxpayers are exempted from tax remittance up to a specified threshold, with no tax deductions or collections enforced upon their payments. This study endeavors to assess the impact of religiosity, love of money, tax knowledge, taxpayer awareness, tax rates, and tax sanctions on compliance among MSME taxpayers registered in Cipadang Village. Employing a quantitative approach, data is gathered through questionnaires, involving 30 respondents who are MSME taxpayers. This research contributes to the advancement of tax accounting and behavioral accounting research, particularly concerning compliance with tax payments among MSME taxpayers.

Evaluating taxation’s dual impact on business and social development: A case study of the Cape Coast metropolis in Ghana

Tax revenue is an important public asset that contributes significantly to a nation’s economic development. The primary function of every government is to make provision in terms of infrastructure facilities, development, and better living conditions for its people. Due to the government’s limited resources, it is necessary to impose taxes on all residents and businesses to strengthen its financial situation because it is impossible for it to carry out this large task in an effective manner. Governments have always passed numerous tax laws, and they have been amended to withstand the test of time. Therefore, this study’s goal is to determine whether taxes have an impact on economic development in the Cape Coast Metropolis in Ghana. The study used the quantitative approach, survey technique, and questionnaire for the data collection process. A sample size of 115 respondents comprising the staff of the domestic tax revenue division’s workforce and owners of registered SMEs were engaged in the study. The data was analyzed using the SPSS version 26. The results indicated that the majority of the staff of Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) considered payment of tax as beneficial to the state while few of the staff did not consider payment of tax as beneficial to the state. In addition, the study outcomes show that respondents are aware of the extent to which tax revenue can be used by the government for economic development. Furthermore, the researchers recommended that the head of GRA create a strong regulatory framework to monitor how tax money is used for economic growth. They should also make an effort to ensure that the tax revenue generated will be wisely used for the growth of the metropolis. This will make taxpayers appreciate the need to pay their taxes because they know they will benefit from it in the end in the form of social and economic developments.

Theoretical analysis of non-deductible expenses: Implications for the design of compensation contracts

This study analyzes how a tax system, in which expenses associated with business activities are only partially deductible for tax purposes, affects corporate behavior, including the effort level and compensation contracts. Since these activities create firm value and benefit the agent due to the inherent characteristics of consumption goods, the principal faces a trade-off between letting agents work with high-powered incentives and the tax payments resulting from non-deductible expenses. Further, we consider a government's behavior to analyze the case in which the government can flexibly change the non-deductible ratio. We find that the impacts of the corporate tax rate and the agent's preference for activities that incur tax non-deductible expenses depend on whether the non-deductible ratio is flexible. This result partially explains why various countries apply different rules for non-deductible expenses.

In addition, the presence of imposed tax penalties influences taxpayer compliance, albeit respondents are generally unbiased about this issue. Good service from tax officers also makes a positive contribution to taxpayer compliance because it helps taxpayers fulfill their tax obligations more easily and comfortably.

THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF TAX ADMINISTRATION: FUNDAMENTALS OF FISCAL MANAGEMENT

In the complex world of fiscal management, tax administration is a cornerstone that serves as the basis for financial security of the population and implementation of public policies. As governments face the eternal problem of resource allocation, understanding the theoretical foundations underlying tax administration is of paramount importance. The article analyzes the existing scientific research on the essence and definition of the elements of the tax administration mechanism and highlights numerous controversial issues in this regard.
 It is argued that administration should be considered in two aspects: both as a procedural activity (process) and as a method of management in the presence of a certain goal - public, state, etc. Based on the existing purpose of administration, its content is determined.
 It is substantiated that tax administration is a set of regulations, strategies, methods and tools used by specially authorized state bodies to perform management tasks in the tax area. This activity is aimed at monitoring compliance with the legislation on taxes and fees, ensuring the correctness of calculation, completeness and timeliness of payment of taxes and fees to the respective budgets.
 It is determined that tax administration is a key component of the effective functioning of both the tax system and the economy as a whole.

Analisis Pengaruh Keadilan Pajak, Kesederhanaan Pajak dan Pengetahuan Pajak Terhadap Kepatuhan Pajak Pelaku UMKM

The primary source of revenue for a country primarily comes from tax receipts. One of the key supports for tax revenue is the tax payments made by micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). Only now, the tax payments made by MSMEs have been perceived as not contributing maximally to the state's revenue. The government has made efforts to enhance tax revenue by providing tax facilities, aiming to promote fairness and simplify tax administration for taxpayers, with the hope of achieving a sense of justice and administrative efficiency in tax compliance, which is expected to increase the willingness of taxpayers to fulfill their tax obligations. This research is conducted to determine the influence of tax fairness, tax simplicity, and tax knowledge possessed by MSME taxpayers on their compliance with tax obligations based on tax regulations. The independent variables in this study are tax fairness, tax simplicity, and tax knowledge, while tax compliance by MSME taxpayers is tested as the dependent variable. The population in this research includes 50 samples of individual MSME taxpayers in the Kramatwatu District, Serang Regency, Banten. The data collected is processed using the SPSS program with multiple linear regression analysis. The results obtained from this research show that tax fairness and tax simplicity have a significant impact on the tax compliance of individual MSME taxpayers in the Kramatwatu District, Serang Regency.

FORMATION OF THE INCOME PART OF THE STATE BUDGET OF UKRAINE UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF THE MARITAL STATE

The article describes the peculiarities of the implementation of the state budget on revenues during the period of martial law. The problems caused by russia's armed aggression in relation to Ukraine’s budget policy are outlined. It has been found that in fact, the need for financial assistance is provoked by the growth of the military expenses, since the revenue part of the budget is approximately the same as the expenses for the Ministry of Defense alone. The structure of losses in the economy and trends in GDP changes are analyzed. It is noted that in the general the picture of the economy of our country, state expenditures occupy an increasingly large volume. As in the previous year, the largest item of budget expenditures in 2023 is security and defense; at the same time, expenditures directed at it compared to the pre-war period have increased almost tenfold. The structure of the economy for 2022-2023 has undergone significant changes, the share of industries with a high tax rate has decreased, which negatively affects the level of tax payments from the economy. It was revealed that in 2023, as a result of the policy of the National Bank of Ukraine (hereinafter – NBU), aimed at maintaining a relatively high discount rate, the profits of the banking system exceeded pre-war indicators several times, which allowed it to obtain a significant positive financial result. It was noted that a significant part of the state budget revenues was earned by the fuel and energy sector, which, despite the war, continues to be a successful component of Ukraine's economy. When forecasting the revenues of the state budget, one should take into account the high degree of uncertainty and unpredictability, which affects the high probability of deviation of the actual figures of the estimate from the planned ones. The main key risks can be called the continuation of the war and the uncertainty regarding the further ways of its development, non-return of refugees from abroad, insufficiently fast implementation of the reforms; lack of assistance from international organizations and governments. The latter is not a convention, but a fact, because the key source of income in 2024 will be external borrowing, since the country's own resources (tax and non-tax revenues, transfers) should be enough to finance only half of the expenses. In fact, the need for financial assistance is provoked by the growth of military expenses, and the budget is written in the form of loans.

CEOs’ Pre‐Career Exposure to Religion and Corporate Tax Avoidance

AbstractIn response to the burgeoning interest in CEOs’ pre‐career experience, this study focuses on their pre‐career exposure to religion. We argue that CEOs who were exposed to religion before starting their professional career will be imbued with the values that prioritize social obligations. Moreover, these imprinted values become activated in the context of corporate tax payment, such that firms with a CEO who attended a religious university are less likely to avoid tax. We further explore how CEOs’ present social context, including political corruption, corporate social performance and present exposure to religion, provides situational cues that moderate the baseline relationship. An analysis of a sample of US listed firms from 2000 to 2019 provides general support for our predictions.
