The article is devoted to the methodological aspects of assessing the impact of tax reforms on the sustainability of public finances. The low impact of numerous tax changes during 2003–2017 in Ukraine aimed at reducing the tax burden, improving the investment climate, led to a narrowing of fiscal space, a decrease in government investment, and a curtailment of enterprise investment. The problem of assessing the direct and indirect effects of tax reforms in terms of changes in tax rates and tax base, tax revenue structure, tax benefits, on public finances and the finances of economic entities in the short and long term remains insufficiently investigated. The task is to identify the relationship between tax policy changes that are taking place within the framework of tax reforms, the economic behavior of economic entities, and their impact on the sustainability of public finances. The article identifies trends in the development of taxation in the EU, which create the conditions for activation of the factors of development of innovative, competitive economy, in particular, the reduction of corporate income tax rates and personal income tax while expanding the tax base, increasing consumption taxes on property. The methodological support of the assessment of tax reforms of EU countries is summarized and the conclusion is made about the possibility of its application in Ukraine. Changes in the share of various taxes in the total amount of tax revenues are analyzed. The reasons and the financial consequences of the tax effects in Ukraine established in the EU countries were found to be associated with a reduction in corporate income tax rates and a compulsory social contribution (lower rates do not reduce tax revenues and increase the budgetary income in the medium term). Indicators and models that can be used to assess tax reforms aimed at improving tax competitiveness (reducing tax rates), as well as reforms to ensure economic growth (redistribution of tax burden and tax incentives - tax innovation benefits) are identified. It is proposed to supplement this list with indicators: the level of investment of the institutional sectors of the economy, the investment rate, the level of profitability, the global innovation index. Proposals on adjusting the directions of tax development in Ukraine have been elaborated.

Abstract This research is based on tax policy opinion survey data collected in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) among tax experts. A special focus of the survey was to investigate the consequences of the different institutional environments that exist between the two entities of the country. After having reviewed all previous tax reforms in B&H, the most interesting results suggest that respondents agree on the introduction of a progressive personal income tax (PIT) and excise duty on luxury products, the maintenance of personal and family allowances and the maintenance of the current value added tax (VAT) and corporate income tax (CIT) rates. However, differences exist in the respondents’ perceptions about the introduction of reduced VAT rates, the regressivity of the VAT, and giving priority to the equity principle over the efficiency principle in taxation. Probability modelling highlighted these differences and indicated inconsistencies in the definition of the PIT tax base, namely the comprehensiveness of the PIT base under the S-H-S definition of income.

Income Tax Reform

After the breakup of former Yugoslavia Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia followed different income tax reform trajectories that could explain currently different levels of income inequality in these countries. Our paper analyzes redistributive effects of introducing progressive tax systems, like the ones currently implemented in Slovenia and Croatia, in the Serbian context. Using microsimulation modeling and Survey on Income and Living Conditions data for 2017 our results suggest that implementation of both Croatian and Slovenian tax system would yield lower levels of income inequality and poverty if applied in Serbia. Slovenian system achieves larger decrease in inequality due to higher tax burden on the top incomes and brings significant increase in tax revenues. Croatian tax schedule achieves stronger decrease in poverty as more generous personal allowance exempt higher portions of low incomes from labour taxes.

Income Tax Reform

Income tax reforms generally constitute some changes in marginal tax rates and its income thresholds which often lead to a higher tax liability. Taxpayers may respond to these changes differently, mainly by trying to lower their tax payments. Self-employed individuals have a greater incentive to strategically adjust to a lower income declaration. Using administrative tax data, this paper examines the reaction of self-employed taxpayers to the 2008 Indonesian Income Tax Reform using bunching analysis. Beside a clear evidence on bunching around the first kink point, our empirical findings suggest that Indonesia exhibits special cases. We find an inertia of pre-reform bunching around the first kink point in later years as well as an extraordinary bunching above the first kink point in the post-reform periods.

Income Tax Reform

Abstract We exploit a dataset that includes the individual tax returns of all taxpayers in the top percentile of the income distribution in Germany to pin down the effective income taxation of households with very high incomes. Taking tax base erosion into account, we find that the top percentile of the income distribution pays an effective average tax rate of 30.5% and contributes more than a quarter of total income tax revenue. Within the top percentile, the effective average tax rate is first increasing, then decreasing, with income. Since the 1990s, effective average tax rates for the German super-rich have fallen by about a third, with major reductions occurring in the wake of the personal income tax reform of 2001-05. As a result, the concentration of net incomes at the very top of the distribution has strongly increased in Germany.
