In this paper, we extend a new open economy macroeconomics (NOEM) model to examine the effects of a corporate tax reduction on home and foreign countries. The feature of this open economy model is that cross-border relocation of firms is allowed. We show that (i) a reduction in the home corporate tax rate induces an exchange rate appreciation (depreciation) when the degree of cross-border firm mobility is large (small) and (ii) when the degree of cross-border firm mobility is large (small), a reduction in corporate tax is beneficial (detrimental) to the domestic country but detrimental (beneficial) to the foreign country.

Summary One of the federal government’s most important projects is its reform of business taxation, planned for 2008. The key elements of this reform, published in summer 2006, provide for a reduction in the nominal tax burden on corporations from 38.65 % to 29.8 %. In return, an aspect of German taxation, namely the Hinzurechnung method, by which the interest paid on long-term debt was added back onto profit and which up to now has applied only with respect to the trade tax collected by the municipalities, is to be extended to corporation tax and is to include all interest paid as well as the financing part of rents, hire and leasing amounts. The key elements did not mention what percentage was to be added back on. One aspect which is important in terms of the effect the 2008 reform of business taxation has on the tax burden on companies is whether, despite a reduction in the tax rate, extending the Hinzurechnung method will lead to an increase in the burden on companies from taxes not dependent on earnings, and how this burden fares in international comparison. Attempts are being made to answer this question using a microeconomic and a macroeconomic approach. It would appear that the amendments as set out in the key elements published would lead to an increase in Germany’s currently very low burden from taxes not dependent on earnings. However, it should also be noted that even if this burden were to experience a strong percentage rise, it would still be relatively low in international comparison. In contrast to the extension of the Hinzurechnung method used in trade tax, a critical view should be taken of any inclusion into corporate taxation of non-earnings-dependent elements.

We estimate the elasticity of corporate taxable income with respect to the statutory corporation tax rate using the population of UK corporation tax returns. We analyze bunching in the distribution of taxable income at kinks in the marginal rate schedule. We decompose this elasticity into an elasticity of total income with respect to the corporation tax rate, and an elasticity of the share of income taken as profit with respect to the difference between the personal and corporate tax rates. This implies a marginal deadweight cost at the £10,000 kink of around 29 percent of tax revenue. (JEL G32, H24, H25, L25)

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo fundamental analizar los determinantes de la presión fiscal de las empresas españolas en la época reciente y, en especial, si en una época de fuerte crisis económica, como la Gran Recesión, las grandes empresas con más rentabilidad han ejercido su poder político para reducir sus costes fiscales o si, por el contrario, han soportado una parte del coste político en forma de más impuestos. Para el análisis utilizamos el tipo impositivo efectivo (TIE) del Impuesto de Sociedades (IS), tomando como variables determinantes del TIE las establecidas por cada una de las dos hipótesis señaladas: tamaño y rentabilidad económica. Además, incluimos como variables de control el endeudamiento y la intensidad de capital. Utilizamos una regresión econométrica siguiendo el Método Generalizado de los Momentos de Arellano-Bover (System GMM), para una muestra de 3.362 empresas, extraída aleatoriamente de la base SABI, con datos referidos al periodo 2008-15, con valores totales y segregando por sectores productivos y obtenemos como resultado que se tiende a cumplir la hipótesis del coste político, tanto a nivel general de la economía como en la mayoría de sectores, lo que, entre otras causas, asociamos a la presión del Gobierno por controlar el déficit público durante la crisis. Además, analizamos si la carga fiscal por el IS resulta diferente según el sector o la residencia fiscal, mediante un análisis estadístico. En este caso los resultados muestran que aquellos sectores con mayores niveles de capitalización registran TIE más bajos y que aquellos más intensivos en mano de obra tienen TIE más altos. En cuanto a la C.A. de residencia, el único resultado estadísticamente significativo es la existencia de un mayor TIE en Madrid que en el resto de Comunidades, debido a la domiciliación fiscal de las empresas más importantes y grandes en la capital. The main objective of this paper is to analyse the determinants of Spanish company tax burden in recent times and, in particular, to ascertain whether at a time of deep economic crisis, such as the Great Recession, larger and more profitable companies exert their political power in order to reduce their fiscal costs or whether, by contrast, they bear part of the political costs in the form of more taxes. For the analysis, we use the effective tax rate (ETR) of Corporation Tax (CT), taking as ETR determinant variables those established by each of the two hypotheses indicated: size and economic profitability. In addition, we include indebtedness and capital intensity as control variables. We use econometric regression, following the Arellano-Bover Generalized Method of Moments (GMM System) for a sample of 3,362 companies, randomly extracted from the SABI base, drawing on data for the 2008-15 period, with total values and segregating by production sectors. We find that the political cost hypothesis tends to be fulfilled, both at a general level of the economy and in most sectors. Among other causes, we associate this to government pressure to control public deficit during the crisis. Using statistical analysis, we also examine whether the tax burden for CT differs depending on the sector or fiscal residence in question. In this case, results show that sectors with higher levels of capitalization evidence a lower ETR and that those which are more labour intensive display a higher ETR. As for the region of residence, the only statistically significant result is the existence of a greater ETR in Madrid than in the rest of the regions, due to the fiscal domicile of the largest and most important companies being seated in the capital.

SummaryGerman corporate companies are taxed with a federal corporation tax and with a local business tax. The latter has a similar, but broader tax base (including e. g. 25 % of interest payments) and its tax rate is set independently by every municipality including the so called city-states (Stadtstaaten). The federal corporation tax revenue is equally split between the federal government and the federal states (Länder). Till now the federal tax rate has been fixed by the German government. Federal states have not had the right to rule the tax rate of their share of corporation tax. At present a federal commission is discussing whether this should be possible in the future. Once granted this privilege, the city-states will be able to substitute their part of corporation tax by a higher local business tax. Furthermore, because of its broader tax base, there will be a reduction of the statutory tax rate for corporations without a decrease in tax revenue. This paper analyses the revenue effects of this substitution for the city-states taking into account the German fiscal equalization system and the incentive of profit shifting to the city-states. The analysis shows some positive revenue effects to the city-states, if they will substitute their part of corporation tax by a higher local business tax. The revenue effects are subject to different scenarios and add up to 17.5 million for Hamburg, 10.4 million for Berlin and 3.6 million for Bremen.

Main directions of tax legislation development are considered in the article from the point of view of relevancy of zero tax rate implementation and tax refund. Special emphasis is placed on the problem of tax refund delay that undermines the competitiveness of the export sector of economy. Comparative analysis of VAT refund mechanisms in different countries and Russia with respect to effectiveness of tax administration has allowed to formulate some hypotheses concerning relevant parameters of refund and test them with the help of various methods and models.

The paper analyzes the consequences of the abolition of the export duty on oil and oil products as a necessary step to stimulate energy efficiency of Russia’s economy and eliminate underdevelopment provoked by a long-term subsidizing of inefficient oil refining sector in Russia. The calculation results have shown that even taking into account several deviations from the planned scenarios of changing the parameters of tax regulation of the oil industry in 2014— 2019, the tax maneuver brought over 3.5 trillion rubles (in 2019 — 148 billion rubles) to the state budget in 2014—2017, mainly due to an increase in the base mineral extraction tax rate, and contributed to an increase in the depth of oil refining from 72% to 85%. In addition, the article analyzes possible risks associated with the current plan for reforming the taxation of the industry until 2024 and proposes an alternative that could level some of them. A comparative analysis of the effects of the tax maneuver under the current reform plan and the alternative variant suggests that the latter will allow to achieve a greater total budgetary effect in four years, reduce the cost of subsidizing domestic oil refining, increase the efficiency of Russian vertically integrated oil companies, and reduce the growth rate of oil products prices in the retail market.

The aim of this study is to analyze empirically the impact of taxation and corruption on the growth of manufacturing firms in Vietnam. The study employed pooled OLS estimation and then instrument variables with fixed effect for the panel data of 1377 firms in Vietnam from 2005 to 2011. These data were obtained from the survey of the Central Institute for Economic Management and the Danish International Development Agency. The results show that both taxation and corruption are negatively associated with firm growth measured by firm sales adjusted according to the GDP deflator. A one-percentage point increase in the bribery rate is linked with a reduction of 16,883 percentage points in firm revenue, over four and a half times bigger than the effect of a one-percentage point increase in the tax rate. From the findings of this research, the author recommends the Vietnam government to lessen taxation on firms and that there should be an urgent revolution in anti-corruption policies as well as bureaucratic improvement in Vietnam.
