Abstract Cesare Cosciani took part, though playing different roles, both in the first experience of tax reform in Italy after the Second World War (1950–56) and in the second one, whose aim was much broader (1971–73).During the Fifties, as adviser of the Finance Minister Ezio Vanoni, Professor Cosciani was very active in favor of introducing a corporation income tax. Afterwards, his guidance was basic for designing the general scheme of the tax reform introduced in Italy at the beginning of the Seventies. The main innovation due to Professor Cosciani was the introduction in Italy of the personal income tax, which, together with the modified corporate income tax, is an essential part of the present Italian tax system.

Reform of the Japanese tax system was undertaken after the second World War and was greatly influenced by Carl Shoup, then Professor at Columbia University. Shoup’s recommendations were made during a unique historical period which allowed for an experimental designing of tax reform in Japan to occur under occupation. In this article we review and criticize Shoup’s recommendations and explain the problems inherent in their implementation. Cultural transference problems such as attempted imputation of corporate tax to individual income tax based on the theory of net asset increases tax are discussed. Comparisons are also made with French and German imputation credit methods.

Global economic crisis reached Lithuania in 2008, as a response to ongoing economic downturn, the government of the Republic of Lithuania introduced tax reform. Analysis of factors determined by the tax reform will be presented in the article. However, main arguments will concentrate on evaluation of companies activities and results as business is one of the key pillars on which Lithuanian economy is built on: taxes form a significant part of individual company’s expenses and on the other side – taxes are a main stream of revenue for the national budget. The most significant taxes in overall national budget composition could be named as the following: personal income tax, social insurance taxes, value added tax, corporate income tax, excise tax and others. In relation to the global crisis tax income has decreased significantly in year 2009 and at the end of year 2012 has still not reached the level of year 2008. However, from the company’s perspective, employees related taxes are considered as most significant as they form almost a half of total taxes paid by companies. Decrease of taxes related to payroll (personal income tax, social insurance taxes) was followed by growth of unemployment, decrease on average salary and growth of the shadow economy. Drop in GDP, inflation and decline in sales made impact on decrease of tax revenue of value added tax, as shadow economy and reduced consumption of excisable goods influenced the value of excise tax revenue. The tax revenue of corporate income tax was influenced by decline of net profit and profitability, increased number of bankruptcy.

Abstract Until 2018, Belgium had a unique corporate income tax system due to its notional interest deduction, also known in public finance literature as the allowance for corporate equity. At the same time, it had one of the highest corporate tax rates in Europe at 34 percent. The latter came under severe pressure to reform and, as of 2018, the government has started to reduce the rate, gradually to reach 25 percent in 2020. The reduction is accompanied by other measures, including a limitation of the notional interest deduction. This paper argues that the lower CIT rate is likely to be conducive to economic growth. Yet, the effects on growth would have been more favorable if the notional interest deduction would have been strengthened, rather than diminished.

By looking at the most famous tax havens today, we turn our attention to research that will show the real problems and impact of tax havens on tax evasion. For the mentioned research, we will use a comparative analysis in which the tax system of the EU countries and the countries of tax havens will be included. In all modern countries, personal and corporate income tax are one of the safest sources of state budget revenue. The most significant direct taxes are personal income tax (tax) and corporate income tax.

This paper analyzes the 2016 tax reform in Colombia, which, although initially presented as structural in the attempt to advance in aspects such as efficiency and equity in the tax system, in the end constituted only one more attempt to temporarily solve a fiscal deficit issue. In fact, this paper establishes that, although there has been progress on some issues, for instance the limiting of tax benefits for the purposes of the purging the Personal Income Tax, the schedular model also entails the risk that many taxpayers will not be taxed according to their capacity to pay, what could be called a counter-reform. In addition, it is proved through econometrics that greater collection and progressivity are not antagonistic purposes, so it is advisable that the next reform in this area chooses to make a more intensive use of direct taxes, although seeking to involve a greater number of taxpayers in the financing of the State, suggesting progress in evasion control.
