Impact of Tax Relief on Public Finance

Journal of Science and Arts, 2020

The mathematical analysis presented in this study identifies models of the dynamics of total tax collections and social contributions per inhabitant according to the gross domestic product per inhabitant from 2009 to 2018 for seven states in Eastern Europe by linear regression equations. The models are statistically confirmed as viable models because the required conditions for formulating this assessment are met. This study has the value and usefulness of preventive information for the correction and substantiation of individual governmental and community decisions, in order to homogenize both from the point of view of the fiscal behavior of each state and the point of view of economic development, in correlation with a financial and budgetary policy to maintain macroeconomic balances and economic stability.

The article deals with the field of personal income tax, namely with tax relief related to personal income tax. Each country provides different reliefs and the article deals mainly with two approaches to reliefs-tax relief for taxpayer and child tax relief for working families with children. An integral part of the article is an analysis of all European Union countries in terms of these reliefs. However, it is not possible to compare the tax reliefs only based on their value, it is necessary to define important differences in terms of currency and average wages of countries and finally compare the results among themselves. The result of the article is a statistical processing of results, which determines the ranking of countries in terms of average wage and relative savings for an individual.

The tax systems of the European Union countries differ in many features. However, for taxing personal income, many EU countries use the method of progressive taxation. Progressive taxation is aimed to shift the tax burden from those with a relatively low income to those whose income is sufficiently high. Such personal income taxation system creates the prerequisites for social justice. In addition to different income tax rates, in a progressive tax system, a crucial role is played by the size of tax-exempt amount. In this article, personal income progressive taxation and the tax-exempt amount are analyzed as one of the progressive taxation tools. The study was conducted using the method of descriptive analysis as well as forecasting and modeling techniques.

The appropriate management of the resources by public sector units is essential. The observations show that the state of the finances of local government units in Poland has changed considerably. The most difficult financial situation occurred during the crisis, i.e. 2009 - 2011. At that time, about 80% of municipalities in Poland showed a deficit. The question arises whether it was possible to avoid such a situation? The purpose of this article is therefore to recognize to what extent the tax preferences used by municipalities contributed to the level of own income obtained by these units.

The article analyses revenue and expenditure on the national budget of Lithuania and looks at their dynamics and structure. First, the paper is aimed at naming the main sources of revenue as well as the preferential areas of financing. Second, it is also sought to disclose the objective principles of allocating budget appropriation. To achieve the goal, the correlation between preferences in government activity and expenditure allocation was investigated. The conducted research employs ranging and correlational analysis. Since the formation of a bigger budget leads to an increased appropriation of all functional areas, structural data were analysed thus enabling to more soundly determine whether the distinction of a functional area, as the preferential one, has an influence on its greater significance in the overall system of the national budget. After making the study, no possibility of asserting that a distinction of the preferential functional area is related to its preferential ...

Tax revenue performance represents one of the most essential issues to every government when creating and profiling fiscal policy according to the macroeconomic framework of each country. In particular, this issue comes to the fore in extraordinary circumstances and unstable trends when governments are exposed to greater costs of financing budget deficits and public debts. Tax revenue mobilization shows the government’s ability to collect sufficient revenue to finance government expenditures, as well as cover public needs. By using static and dynamic panel approaches, this research investigates the effect of tax revenue performance in Baltic countries (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) for the period 1995–2020. The main objective of this paper is to identify which determinants are crucial for improving tax revenue performance in the Baltic region. Namely, this research identifies how the main macroeconomic determinants affect the tax revenue performance in Baltic countries, which enabl...

The subject of this article is the presentation of tax expenditures as a type of public spending recognized as the off budget expenditures, as well as indicating their influence on Polish budget. This aim was proved in the way of comparative studies of theoretical concepts of tax expenditures and solutions applied in the countries reporting them. Tax expenditures strictly related to particular economic and social policy goals, are special tax provisions which partly or absolutely reduce tax burden of some groups of taxpayers, and in the result-diminish the tax revenue appropriately. The focus on these privileges arisen on the base of tax code is highly important in the current budgetary conditions while the huge part of countries is struggling with imbalances of public finance, and increasing public debts. The overall value of estimated tax expenditures in Poland amounted to 81.6 billion PLN in 2012. Comparing this value to the general government deficit in 2012 of 62.7 billion PLN, the scope of public spending realized out of budget procedure is clearly evident. In 2009-2012 the share of tax expenditures in total public spending amounted on average by 18.3%, and the adequate loss of government revenues was estimated at 26.1% of total tax revenue. Unfortunately this not always transparent part of public spending is out of public control and effectively limits the ability of proper and responsible fiscal policy.

This article investigates issues behind households’ tax payment morale, theoretical and practical aspects of the tax payment gap, and its impact on public sector revenue in Baltic countries. The attitude of households on tax payment is assessed quantitatively by employing a dichotomous logit-probit regression analysis. The tax payment gap among Baltic households has been investigated by applying a “macro approach,” the main components of which are the shadow economy and the total tax rate. The effect of any hypothetical changes in tax morale is assessed by applying social accounting matrixes, which are based on national account data and allow to keep the economy balanced at all time. The results presented in this research suggest that taxes uncollected from households constitute nearly one fifth of total general government revenues and count nearly one tenth of the nominal GDP. Measures applied to strengthening tax morale positively contribute to public sector revenue and in general...
