The aim of this study is to know the impact of Value-added Tax imposition on Saudi economy in light of the Saudi Vision 2030, we assumed that the Value-added Tax leads to an increase in general revenues, and it affects the purchasing power, we also assumed that the provision of subsidies lowers the tax burden. This study follows the descriptive methodology in the literature review and the analytical-inductive methodology in collecting data to examine the assumptions by using a questionnaire. This research generally discussed taxes by reviewing its definitions, characteristics, and objectives, it also mentioned the technical regulations of taxation and analyzed the questionnaire results and estimated the Value-added tax revenues contribution in general revenues. The main conclusions were that the Value-added tax imposition leads to an increase in prices which in turn decreases the purchasing power, also the revenues from the Value-added Tax contributed in increasing general revenues, and the most important recommendations were to establish rules on commercial institutions to prevent prices manipulation after the tax is implemented. In addition, this research recommended directing Value-added tax revenues for infrastructure spending and improving government services.

Atualmente, o Brasil possui um dos mais complexos sistemas tributários do mundo, também chamado por pesquisadores internacionais como “manicômio tributário”. Com 94 tributos em vigência, com normas próprias e critérios quantitativos distintos, o contribuinte dificilmente consegue compreender o que está pagando, por que está pagando e quanto está pagando. Em função disso, desde o ano de 2007, iniciaram no Brasil a tramitação de diversas propostas de alteração ao sistema vigente, tendo sido apensadas a PEC  233/08, tramitando com o nome de PEC da Reforma Tributária. Diversas são as propostas em tramitação, mas este artigo cuida de analisar apenas essa. Disposta a desburocratizar a tributação brasileira, a proposta prevê quatorze grandes alterações, trazendo consigo a promessa de diminuição da carga tributária, facilitação na compreensão e redução da quantidade de tributos existentes. Mas, o que se pode extrair da leitura do projeto é algo que, na prática, não trará tantas mudanças positivas quanto promete. Este artigo fará uma análise dedutiva sobre o conteúdo do projeto de lei, verificando através de ampla pesquisa o impacto de sua aplicação, estudando o seu surgimento histórico, discutindo alguns aspectos da teoria de tributação, realizando um comparativo com os modelos vigentes nos demais países para analisar se, teoricamente, as proposições trariam um sistema ideal.Palavras-Chave: Direito Tributário. Imposto. Valor Agregado. Europa. MERCOSUL.The tax reform in Brazil: the VAT in the light of the PEC 233/2008ABSTRACTToday, Brazil has one of the most complex tax systems in the world, also called by international researchers as a “tax insane asylum”. With 94 taxes in place, with its own rules and different quantitative criteria, the taxpayer can hardly understand what he is paying, why he is paying and how much he is paying. As a result, since 2007, several proposals for alteration to the current system have been initiated in Brazil, and PEC (Proposal for Constitutional Amendment) 233/08 has been joined, being called the PEC of the Tax Reform. There are several proposals in the pipeline, but this article deals only with this one. Willing to reduce bureaucracy in Brazilian taxation, the proposal foresees fourteen major changes, bringing with it the promise of reducing the tax burden, facilitating understanding and reducing the amount of existing taxes. But what you can get from reading the project is something that in practice will not bring as many positive changes as it promises. This article will make a deductive analysis on the content of the bill, checking through extensive research the impact of its application, studying its historical emergence, discussing some aspects of tax theory, making a comparison with the models in force in other countries to to analyze if, theoretically, the propositions would bring an ideal system.Keywords: Tax Law.

AbstractIntegrated economic models have become popular for assessing climate change. In this paper we show how these methods can be used to assess the impact of a discard ban in a fishery. We state that a discard ban can be understood as a confiscatory tax equivalent to a value-added tax. Under this framework, we show that a discard ban improves the sustainability of the fishery in the short run and increases economic welfare in the long run. In particular, we show that consumption, capital and wages show an initial decrease just after the implementation of the discard ban then recover after some periods to reach their steady-sate values, which are 16–20% higher than the initial values, depending on the valuation of the landed discards. The discard ban also improves biological variables, increasing landings by 14% and reducing discards by 29% on the initial figures. These patterns highlight the two channels through which discard bans affect a fishery: the tax channel, which shows that the confiscation of landed discards reduces the incentive to invest in the fishery; and the productivity channel, which increases the abundance of the stock. Thus, during the first few years after the implementation of a discard ban, the negative effect from the tax channel dominates the positive effect from the productivity channel, because the stock needs time to recover. Once stock abundance improves, the productivity channel dominates the tax channel and the economic variables rise above their initial levels. Our results also show that a landed discards valorisation policy is optimal from the social welfare point of view provided that incentives to increase discards are not created.

If local authorities units carry out an economic activity, are considered to be taxable under Act No. 235/2004 Coll., On Value Added Tax as amended. Adjustment of VAT in all countries of the European Union is based on Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax as amended. The application of this directive is binding for all EU member states and national treatment of VAT may diverge from the Directive only in cases where the Directive permits. Decisions of the European Court of Justice are of considerable importance during the interpretation of the Czech VAT Act.For the municipalities and regions article defines the activities that are considered to be an economic activity and activities that are deemed to exercise of public administration and are not therefore subject to VAT. Further the paper defines the concept of turnover of local authorities. At paper there are evaluating the impact of the application of VAT on municipalities and regions in the provision of the individual fulfillment. Great attention must municipalities and region devote to the problem of correct application of claim to tax deduction if they carry out the exercise of public administration, taxable activities and fulfillments exempt from VAT.

The study investigated the impact of corporate income tax on the government expenditure in Nigeria. Data on corporate income tax, value added tax, interest rate, gross domestic product, petroleum profit tax and consumer price index were collected and used as independent variable in the study while data on public expenditure were collected and used as independent variable in the estimated model. The ARDL bound test was applied and the result showed that corporate income tax have long run relationship that is significant with government expenditure. Other forms of tax such as value added tax and petroleum profit tax also have significant impact on government expenditure. The study concluded that corporate income tax should be sustained in order to ensure that government continue to fulfill her obligation of provision of social amenities that will promote the economic growth of the country.

The objective of this study is to empirically investigate the effect of tax revenue and years tax reforms on government expenditure in Nigerian. Tax revenue were explained using custom and excise duties, company income tax, value-added tax and tax reforms explained by the years in which reforms took place measured by dummy variables as proxies. In conducting this research, an annual time series data from central bank statistical bulletins and Federal Inland revenue Service of Nigeria spanning from 1994-2017 were employed. The data were tested for stationarity using the Augmented Dicker-Fuller Unit Root Test and found stationary at first difference. The Johansen co-integration test was also conducted and showed that the variables are co-integrated at the 5% level, which implied that there is a long-run relationship between the variables in the model. The presence of co-integration spurred the use of vector error correction model and VEC granger causality to determine the effects and decision for the study objective. Findings revealed that Customs and Excise Duties has positive (3.96) and significant (-8.38) impact on government expenditure at 5% level of significance (t=8.38>1.96), Company Income Tax has negative (-1.25) and significant (2.98) impact on government expenditure at 5% level of significance (t=2.98>1.96), Value added tax has positive (8.54) and significant (3.90) impact on government expenditure at 5% level of significance (t=3.90>1.96) and Tax reforms periods has negative(-3.52E+12) and significant (8.39) impact on government expenditure at 5% level of significance (t=8.39>1.96). The study thus concluded that tax revenue and tax reforms significantly affect the Nigerian economy with the direction of causation running from government revenue to government expenditure, supporting the revenue-spend or tax-spend hypothesis.  It was recommended while seeking to increase its revenue base via tax should also increase their expenditure profile to create a balance with the tax revenue and every other tax reform should be geared towards this balance.

The article discusses the problem of the reducing life quality of Russians in the new conditions of the market economy. The Russian phenomenon of the use of “palm oil” as a priority raw material in food production is analyzed against the decrease in its use in the EU countriesand against the expansion of the daily diet of the Chinese due to increased dairy food consumption. Opposing points of view of key industry associations (the Dairy Union of Russia and the Fat and Oil Union of Russia) have been identified and are presented in the context of palm oil use in dairy food production. The results of a statistical study of the demand for palm oil from Russian importers against the background of an increase in the value-added tax rate from 10 to 20% in October 2019 are presented. The data of customs statistics on palm oil imports were analyzed in the context of countries of origin, nine codes of the commodity nomenclature of foreign economic activity, months and years within the five-year period of 2016–2020, as well as in the context of the importing regions of Russia. The results of statistical processing of data by the Federal Customs Service revealed no effect of the sharp increase in the VAT rate on the volume of palm oil imports. The analysis of foreign statistics revealed a significant presence of actors in the chemical industry among transnational companies that are the largest consumers of palm oil. The model of entrepreneurial behavior based on consumption in palm oil production, formed and widely spread in the Russian food industry market, is criticized. 98% of palm oil and its fractions imported into Russia goes to the needs of food industry enterprises, and the authors consider that the foreign ownership of these enterprises plays an important role. In the authors’ opinion, in many respects, the latter fact determined our country’s ranking first in the food chemistry sector in the distribution of published patent applications by technology field for the top 10 origins in 2014–2016. In this respect, Russia is far ahead of China, the USA, Japan, South Korea, Germany, the UK,France, and Switzerland. In China, systematic research is being carried out on the ratio of palm oil use in the food (primarily, instant noodles, other fast food) and non-food (chemical industry, including cosmetics production) sectors.

The relevance of the impact of tax complexity on tax noncompliance justifies the study of tax complexity in the scope of several taxpayers, including local authorities. This chapter analyses the case of the value added tax (VAT), a typical example where the misuse of exemptions and no subjections imply the no payment of taxes by citizens. Therefore, this chapter tries to assess, qualitatively and quantitatively, the levels of tax complexity perceived in local authorities' administrations through the amount of binding tax information those organizations request. The results suggest a high degree of perception of tax complexity and uncertainty as well as a lack of transparency associated with the tax framework of the activities of local authorities. It is pointed out that the perceived complexity is essentially legal. Moreover, the findings establish a relation between some more complex legal changes with great tax impact within these entities and the increase of the number of binding tax information requested on their subjects.
