Fiscal Disparities

The aim of this paper is to examine the fiscal disparities among local governments in Bulgaria and to show the capabilities of the existing intergovernmental transfer system to reduce them. Fiscal equalization policy in Bulgaria is performed through a general equalization transfer for local activities the distribution of which is based on local government tax revenue, as well as on service delivery costs. We measured the extent of equalization in three years – 2007, 2011 and 2017, during which the equalization transfer formula underwent considerable changes. For 365 municipalities we found out that, although the applied equalization mechanisms reduced the inequality in municipal own-source revenuе the remaining fiscal disparities among local governments were still considerable. Our research also suggests that disparity-reducing strength of the general equalization transfer remained almost unchanged during the period under review with its equalizing potential hampered to a great extent by the inclusion of additional compensatory elements in the distribution formula.

This program was designed to mitigate the fiscal disparities and revenue inequality among local authorities, also to increase the local people welfare. To comply with Government Law Number 28/2010 on Regional Tax and Levy, government transfers the right and authority of Rural and Urban Property Tax from central into regional government since 1 January 2011. By 31 December 2012, only 18 regional authorities have undergone the program and the rest seems to be having some difficulties. The study adopted a constructivism approach with qualitative method. The results show some determinant variables that causing the difficulties on this policy: (1) the weakness of bureaucratic attitude adhering to local government; (2) central and regional government are still not on the same page on collecting fee for Rural and Urban Property Tax; (3) the unclear formulation on fee collection of Rural and Urban Property Tax; (4) the lack of competency in the local government and short of experiences in Rural and Urban Property Tax collection.

Local fiscal capacity plays a crucial role in the implementation of regional development. This study aims to examine the fiscal disparities among regions in Central Java province in 2007-2009 period. The research method used is the average difference test against various classes/groups of local fiscal variables, namely level of independence and the degree to fiscal dependency. From the results of the analysis, indicate a significant disparity between the city/county. For the analysis of disparities in fiscal independence, indicate a disparity of high and relatively constant. As for the analysis of disparities in fiscal dependence, indicate a relatively low disparities between city/county. These results imply that the city and district in Central Java province has continued in fiscal independence vary widely but tend to have nearly the same fiscal dependency.
