This study aimed to investigate the reliability of tax declarations and their impact on reducing commercial and industrial profits tax evasion in Yemen. To achieve this objective, the periodic reports of the executive tax units of large taxpayers during 2010 -2013 were used, and results of auditing tax declarations by the tax units were reviewed. The tax declarations belonged to registered public or mixed sector establishments and institutions, or money, individual companies, or in organizations and associations. The study sample consisted of “402” taxpayers who submitted their tax declarations for 2010-2013. For data analysis, the SPSS package was used, through which descriptive analysis was used according to business sectors: correlation analysis and simple regression analysis for four consecutive years. The study results revealed a significant impact of the reliability of tax declarations on reducing commercial and industrial profits tax evasion in Yemen. The study showed that the submission of reliable information about real incomes by large tax payers was considered the most important factor for reducing tax evasion. The study stressed the need to review the declarations, without exceeding the specified period of two years. It also stressed the need to update the system of reviewing tax declarations submitted by taxpayers, and to apply the penalties stipulated in the Income Tax Law No. 17 of 2010 concerning cases of evading commercial and industrial profits tax.

AbstractThis research tries to elaborate the contradiction between Government Regulation number 46 of 2013 (PP 46/2013) and Article 4 paragraph 1 Law number 36 of 2008 (Income Tax Law) in addressing tax base. Also, it describes income tax simulation from PP 46/2013 an Income Tax Law perspective. This research is designed by applying literature review and field study method. We collect and analysis data throughout laws, text-books, and journals to obtain a a suitable framework related to the case discussed. Furthermore, we also conduct interview to find practical experience that cannot be found in literatures. A deep-interview is applied to the relevant officials. The result shows that usage of gross revenue to calculate tax base based on PP 46/2013 is quite suitable with the objective of the regulation, to simplify and support tax payers in fulfilling their tax-obligation. On the other hand, although the revenue is not appropriate with the definition of Income tax law, every additional economic capability, the provision is not against general rules. This is occurred because Article 17 paragraph 7 and Article 4 paragraph 2 letter (a) Income Tax Law allow certain income will be imposed by final income tax. Keyword:  Tax Base, Income, Gross Revenue, PP 46/2013

Transfer pricing is a company policy in determining transfer prices to other companies, but in practice transfer pricing is done in order to avoid taxes. At present Indonesia has not been able to overcome the issue of transfer pricing because the regulations and sanctions are still unclear. Businessmen as taxpayers need legal certainty in the context of tax planning and business competition, while the government also requires legal certainty to secure revenues from the tax sector. The legal vacuum created legal uncertainty for both parties so that it was not in harmony with the principle of justice. Regulation regarding transfer pricing in Indonesia has actually been regulated in legislation found in Article 18 paragraph (3), (3a), and (4) Income Tax Law. However, the regulation has not been clearly regulating transfer pricing. The unclear regulation regarding transfer pricing lead Indonesian Government to refine the Anti-Avoidance Rule (AAR) which is integrated in the Income Tax Law. The AAR must provide clear definitions and differences regarding acceptable tax avoidance, unacceptable tax avoidance, and tax evasion, so that transfer pricing that breaks arm's length principle will be categorized as illegal. In addition, the AAR must be clearly and explicitly regulated regarding sanctions for transfer pricing doer. Improvement of AAR which is integrated in the Income Tax Law will provides legal certainty and guarantees justice for both businessmen as taxpayers and the government.

Farmers have benefited from unique tax treatment since the beginning of the income tax law. This paper explores agricultural influences on the passage of the income tax in 1913, using both qualitative and quantitative analysis. The results show that agricultural interests were influential in the development and passage of tax/tariff laws. The percentage of congressmen with agricultural ties explains the strong affection for agriculture. Discussion in congressional debates and in agricultural journals was passionate and patriotic in support of equity for farmers. The quantitative analysis reveals that the percentage farm population was a significant predictor of passage of the 16th Amendment by the states and of adoption of state income taxes in the 20th century.

A Simulation model has been developed in Korea, named Korea Institute of Public Finance Simulation Model (KIPFSIM), which aims to estimate the effects of taxes and transfers in Korea. The current version of KIPFSIM adopts a statice approach combined with a zero-elasticity assumption that there will be no change in labor supply and consumption decisions even after changes in taxes and transfers. KIPFSIM uses a representative sample from the House-hold Income and Expenditure Survey, compiled and released by the Statistical Office of Korea. Using KIPFSIM, we hypothetical changes in taxes and transfers, which is set to be enacted in 2009 and 2010. We found that the benefit of the income tax cut is concentrated mostly on high-income taxpayers in terms of absolute value, but more on middle-income taxpayers in terms of percentage of the tax burden. Therefore, the new income tax law is considered to strengthen the progressive nature of the tax code and to lower tax burdens and tax revenue. We also found that after-income-tax income inequality, as measured by Gini coefficeint, was slightly worsened, primarily due to the decrease in income tax revenue, whice helps equalize income distribution.
