Quality Of Governance

Developing countries are typically unable to generate sufficient amount of revenue from taxation because these countries face a number of institutional problems in the process of revenue generation. One of the main problems is corruption in tax administration. The two important components of revenue generation are tax administration and tax system reforms [Brondolo, et al. (2008)]. The main objective of these is to increase the efficiency of tax administrations, specifically by reducing corruption and tax evasion. The second main problem of low revenue generation is political instabilities in developing countries. One of the important characteristics of political instability is unstable and governments and, hence, incoherent policy framework, which hinder in the process of long-term reforms in the system. The quality of governance as a whole is also relevant in this context. It is widely agreed that the presence of tax evasion and corruption of public officials is a social phenomenon that can significantly reduce tax revenue and seriously hurt economic growth and development.

This paper examined the impact of the Federal government of Nigeria’s tax amnesty programme tagged “Voluntary Asset and Income Declaration Scheme (VAIDS) on tax administration in Nigeria.  This task is premised on the global reality of governments facing challenges funding developmental projects and other government paraphernalia due to paucity of funds as a result of tax evasions and tax avoidances. In most developing countries such as Nigeria, this tax evasions and avoidances have serious repercussion on the economic growth and development strides of the nation. To avert this menace, the federal government of Nigeria in line with some other countries of the world, created a tax amnesty window called Voluntary Assets and Income Declaration Schemes (VAIDS) to beat tax defaulters at their game and boost revenue generation towards generating the needed funds for developmental projects. For the purpose of this examination, data were generated through the secondary sources of data collection and analyzed with the content analysis. From the analysis, the paper found among others that VAIDS has impacted positively on revenue generation by expanding taxpayer’s data base and also enhanced the identification of tax defaulters. However, poor adoption of information and communication technology (ICT) and the inadequate publicity among others are the constraining factors to VAIDS achievement of its US$1bn target. Based on the findings, the paper recommends among others, proper institutionalization of ICT in data management for tax registration, assessment and collection processes and enforcing the penalties associated with not complying with VAIDS mercy window.

The Impact

The aim of the study is to identify factors resulting from non-agricultural activities in small farms and to examine their impact on the agricultural production carried out in these farms. Understanding these processes will help the state develop a way to encourage these small farms to develop non-agricultural activities, which will provide them with an additional, and often primary, source of income. The results of the authors’ surveys conducted among farmers possessing small farms, conducting both agricultural and non-agricultural activities, are presented. The research results showed that in most cases, non-agricultural activities can allow farm resources to be used more efficiently. However, the nature of the impact of non-agricultural activities on agricultural activities depends on the type of activities, and on their level of connection with the agricultural holding.

The Impact

This paper examined the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on the level of services delivered by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS). The paper was premised on the perceived importance and role of the online platform in the prompt payment of corporate tax as its efficiency in increasing compliance while decreasing the level of tax evasion by corporate bodies. A related challenge that is increasingly being faced by users of electronic facilities for government transaction is a lack of universal security mechanism that forms a first line of defense for such users. The objective of the paper was to examine the impact of ICT on the level of revenue generation efforts of the FIRS and the level of tax evasion in Nigeria. Technology acceptance model was used as theoretical framework of analysis. The paper adopted survey and descriptive research design to elicit responses from the study sample. Both primary and secondary sources of data were used in eliciting information needed for the study. Pearson pear product and chi-square method were used as statistical method of analysis. The major findings of the study revealed among others that application of ICT will only amount to negligible level of revenue generation. It was also revealed that the relationship between application of ICT and the level of tax compliance and acceptability is not significant. Based on the findings, the paper recommended among others, that the government and their agencies should embark on an all-important campaign for attitude and behavioral change with regards to encouraging people in the business world to perceive tax as an obligation to the state and not just a yearly ritual that must be embarked upon by them.

Increasing the concentration of ownership and control of public companies in Indonesia is more likely to increase the likelihood of earnings management practices through tax avoidance. The high percentage of concentrated ownership has encouraged the government and capital market regulators to more broadly promote regulations related to tax incentives and public ownership in order to encourage more transparent practices. This study aims to analyze the policy of public ownership of tax avoidance conducted by Indonesian public companies, specifically after the regulation of Government Regulation No. 81 of 2007 concerning Reduction of Income Tax Rates for Domestic Corporate Taxpayers in the Form of Public Companies, and Minister of Financial Regulation No. 238 / PMK.03 / 2008 concerning Procedures for Implementing and Supervision of Granting Tariff Reductions for Domestic Corporate Taxpayers in the Form of Public Companies.

The samples of 320 observations that conducted (firm-years) during 2008-2011. The software that will be used in data analysis is STATA 12. The results showed that the increase in public ownership have a significant effect in improve the practice of corporate tax avoidance, which it is also evidenced by the significant differences in the corporate tax avoidance practices before than after the enactment of these regulations.

This chapter examines how the cum-ex transaction has been assessed to date before arguing that those assessments reflect a limited understanding of the real complexity and wider causes and implications of schemes such as the cum-ex trade. The reaction to cum-ex in the media and in political circles has focused on the scale of financial loss to the state and on the culpability of the individuals involved. This response to cum-ex involves relatively little focus on the nature of the transaction itself or how it came about. However, this chapter raises wider questions as to what transactions like cum-ex tell us about the nature of banks and inter-bank market activities, and what they reveal about tax systems. The chapter also explains what is meant by talking of bank ‘misconduct’, and considers the problematic distinction between tax avoidance and tax evasion.
