This article aims to examine the challenges of designing individual’s income tax systems in general and particularly to observe taxpayers’ behaviour in developing countries. This study used case study approach to gain in depth understanding type of taxpayers’ attitude towards personal income tax systems. Based on the analyses, tax behaviour, which comprises the perception of fairness and motivation to comply, attracts urgent challenges in designing effective tax on personal income in every country and mainly underdeveloped countries. Every human being in each country has their social pattern towards tax policy. When the individual perception of fairness is significant, it will harmonise the ’client and service approach’ between taxpayers and governments. This condition would influence tax morale of individuals to comply with the policy and achieve high compliance rate. Therefore, it has argued that personal view of fairness and their motivation to comply with tax systems are becoming vital challenges in designing the tax policy on individual income. AbstrakArtikel ini bertujuan untuk menginvestigasi tantangan-tantangan yang dihadapi dalam merancang sistem perpajakan untuk wajib pajak orang pribadi dan secara khusus menganalisa perilaku wajib pajak di negara-negara berkembang. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan studi literatur untuk mendapatkan secara mendalam jenis perilaku wajib pajak penghasilan orang pribadi. Berdasarkan hasil analisis terkait perilaku pajak, yang terdiri dari persepsi keadilan dan motivasi untuk mematuhi memberikan tantangan tersendiri dalam merancang pajak yang berlaku atas penghasilan pribadi di setiap negara dan terutama negara-negara berkembang. Setiap individu memiliki pola yang berbeda ketika berinteraksi terhadap kebijakan pajak. Ketika persepsi individu terhadap keadilan adalah signifikan, hal itu akan menyelaraskan pendekatan ’client and service’ antara pembayar pajak dan pemerintah. Kondisi ini akan memengaruhi semangat individu untuk mematuhi kebijakan dan mencapai tingkat kepatuhan yang tinggi. Oleh karena itu, asumsi bahwa pandangan individu terhadap keadilan dan motivasi untuk mematuhi sistem pajak menjadi tantangan penting dalam merancang kebijakan terhadap wajib pajak orang pribadi.Kata kunci: Pajak Penghasilan Orang Pribadi; Prinsip Keadilan; Moral Wajib PajakJEL classifications: E63

System and tax policy may be used for numerous purposes. That is, especially, the case with contemporary tax systems which are, among other features, based at the synthetic (global) taxation of the economic capacity of the natural persons. Besides the basic, fiscal, many other goals, may be reached through the taxation, including those which fall in the scope of the population policy. In this paper, modern tendencies have been analysed in achieving the goals of the population policy, which provide solutions in respect of the following tax instruments: personal income tax, corporate income tax, property tax and turnover tax. It has been emphasized that relatively numerous and differentiated possibilities exist in respect of the annual personal income tax and far less, with the other forms of taxation.

The Impact

This paper examines the effect of tax policy on housing prices in Vietnam for the period from October 2004 to September 2016 using event study approach. The authors find that all five key changes made to the personal income tax, corporate income tax and non-farm land use tax have caused the housing prices to decline on average 6-11% during the event window, but only the impact of the personal income tax changes is statistically significant. The fact that changes in housing prices are mostly seen prior to the effective date of the tax policy change implies that tax policy change indeed has influenced the housing prices in Vietnam. Although this research has not examined the mechanism through which tax policy has influenced the housing prices, the findings offer some implications for the government in terms of using tax policy for controlling housing prices in Vietnam. The research is also of very few papers in this literature that use the event study approach.

The Impact

Due to the numerous factors that can influence the impact of the tax system and redistribution, there is no single correct answer to the question of which composition of economic policy instruments needs to be applied to achieve a desired redistributive effect. The general aim of the study is to investigate in relation to the quantifiable parameters of income tax systems, whether the consideration of the aspects of fairness and justice does have an excessively negative effect on the simplicity of tax systems. The study investigates the possibilities of simplifying the personal income tax system’s composition in some Central and Eastern European countries, while tax burden curves of the system remain as constant as possible. To this end, the study sets up a theoretical, simplified tax model, the parameters of which are determined by a computer program, in order to generate tax burden curves corresponding most closely to the curves of the real tax system. Based on the analysis, it can be established that the theoretical system – in some cases with restrictions – provides a good approximation to the tax burden curves of the investigated countries. The chosen simple model has a good degree of approximation to a real system that does not have significant breakpoints in its tax burden curves, nor does it use a taxation method that fundamentally modifies the system (e.g., splitting). Practical examples help to understand that a complex personal income tax system in a given country is not necessarily the only possible solution to achieve a given tax burden curve, the function may be reproduced with a good approximation constructed from simpler basic elements.

This article quantifies personal income tax compliance by regions for the first time in Spain and identifies the factors explaining differences in tax compliance between regions, an aspect that has scarcely been analyzed in the literature. To this end, and in addition to the dynamic and spatial components considered by Alm and Yunus, this article considers the variables included in the classical tax evasion model of Allingham and Sandmo, as well as tax morale and political-institutional variables, including those linked to the country’s fiscal decentralization. The results obtained confirm, on one hand, those reached in the very extensive literature studying tax evasion from the individual perspective (including the importance of the dynamic element) and, on the other, the relevance of the spatial component in explaining tax compliance, so that greater or lesser tax compliance is partly explained by factors such as the tax behavior of neighbors or how those neighbors are treated by the public sector.

The processes of fiscal decentralization have provided new opportunities for local self-governments: independent formation of local budgets; direct intergovernmental relations; expansion of the tax base, etc. The steps taken in the field of decentralization are currently not systemic. The distribution of fiscal payments between different levels of the budget system is the purpose of the tax system development, which would allow to provide quality social services to the population and influence the economic development of the territory. The main directions of tax system development on the basis of tax management are substantiated as following: strengthening the role of local taxes; establishing the effective interaction of local governments with economic entities operating in the territory to increase budget revenues; ensuring the fair distribution of the tax burden and its reduction while seeking budgetary compensators; strengthening the tax control; ensuring the efficient informational and explanatory work and interaction of local self-government bodies and taxpayers. The author's vision of the tax system within the new architecture of the administrative-territorial system is offered. The inclusion of personal income tax in local taxes and change in the mechanism of crediting the tax to local budgets are substantiated. There are two alternatives to change the procedure for crediting personal income tax to local budgets, due to which the associated burden will be distributed among all participants: 1) crediting personal income tax to local budgets at the place of residence of the individual payer; 2) giving the individual payer the right to choose which budget should include the amount of tax paid (by place of work or place of residence). The directions of increasing the property taxes accumulated in local budgets are defined. The paper develops a model of the form of self-taxation of the population in territorial communities. According to the model, the residents are involved in the accumulation and distribution of tax resources. The suggested model is based on the accumulation of financial resources by a parity principle: the amount of financial contribution of local governments is determined at a level not lower than the amount contributed by residents.

One of the key factors on which the effective functioning of the entire national economy depends is the organization of the state taxation system. Prospects for the reform of personal income tax are currently widely discussed with the aim of maximizing its fiscal functions and achieving equity taxation. Let us consider in more detail how foreign countries solve the problem of the fairness of taxation of personal income in the development of tax policy. The subject of the study is the foreign experience of taxation of personal income in countries with developed economies. The purpose of the study is to study the approaches to taxation of foreign countries in the current socio-economic conditions. Objective: to study the trends in the formation of the tax rate on personal income in countries with developed economies. General scientific methods are used: system analysis - to determine the specifics of tax development in economically developed countries; comparative analysis - to compare the principles in the formation of taxes in foreign countries and Ukraine. The following results were obtained: The prospects for the application of foreign experience in the taxation of personal income in Ukraine were considered. The analysis of income tax in Germany, France, Italy, Canada, the United States of America - the countries with the highest standards of living, according to the United Nations. The main features of income tax in these countries are identified, the possibility of borrowing them in the course of reforming the personal income tax in relation to Ukraine is assessed. Based on an analysis of the main approaches to taxation of personal income in countries with developed economies and Ukraine, a SWOT analysis was obtained. Conclusions: the tax systems of many states have their own historical prerequisites, are “adjusted” to the territorial and transgeographic features of countries, as well as their internal policies and the mentality of the population. Improving the efficiency of the tax system is really subject to the adjustment of the principles of taxation under the economic conditions of a particular state.

Personal income tax and social insurance contributions must be paid on wages into the budget, the revenue of which most directly affects the changes in the number of persons engaged in the national economy and the increase of the average wage. To be able to evaluate how favourable the personal income tax systems applicable to employees are in the Baltic States, the author compares the factors that affect taxation and the tax burden in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, which have experienced tax reforms in the recent years. The aim of the research is to perform a comparative study of the requirements and issues of personal income tax application to wages in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. The monographic, comparative and analytical analysis, logical construction, and grouping methods have been used in the research study. Based on the research study, the author has concluded that despite the similarities in the personal income tax systems, each Baltic state has different normative regulation. The tax burden on Estonian taxpayers relative to wages is lower than that in Lithuania and Latvia.
