Opis:
The purpose of the article/hypothesis: The goal of this paper is to analyze tax evasion with special emphasis on gender. Factors influencing tax noncompliance such as age, income, education, confidence in government, political scale and religiosity are analyzed. Methodology: Tax evasion is analyzed based on the most recent (Wave 7) World Value Survey data with the significance of differences between respondents, correlation and regression models analysis. Results of the research: It has been found that there are significant differences between the global approach and groups of males and females when the acceptance of cheating on taxes is taken into consideration. The analysis of groups reflected the fact that all factors influence respondents in the same way without distinguishing between males and females.

Opis:
The aim of this paper is to outline the institution of the tax avoidance clause which has recently been re-introduced to the Polish legal system. The clause is known in many legal systems worldwide, and always arouses numerous controversies, which arise primarily from the subjectivity as well as, partly, the retroactivity of its application, which is based on extremely general principles, leaving a vast interpretative margin to the tax authorities enforcing the clause. Selected problems arising from the implementation of the tax avoidance clause in the Polish legal system have been analysed. These theoretical problems will be real once the clause has been enforced.

Opis:
The issue how to reduce of tax evasion is widely discussed in the literature. A public authority may affect the behavior of taxpayers, not only through economic factors, but also by strengthen fiscal discipline. In this process especially role play such issues as tax morale, tax mentality and perceived tax justice. The purpose of the study was to identify groups of taxpayers with similar attitudes towards taxes and similar tax behaviors. Cluster analysis elicited four types of tax payers: Intrinsic Tax Payer, External Tax Payer, Intrinsic Tax Evader, External Tax Evader. In the study the most common were the first two types of taxpayers. Elicited types correspond with motivational tax postures identified by Braithwaite(2001, 2003) and Torgler (2003). The conclusions sum up the key issues discussed, policy implications and the limitation of the analysis.

Opis:
According to the Catholic Social Teaching, tax evasion is ethically reprehensible and people who do it commit sin. The Catholic Church based its opinion first of all on the Holy Scripture (the teaching of Jesus, St. Peter’s and St. Paul’s). Also pope John Paul II, primate of Poland Stefan cardinal Wyszyński and Joseph cardinal Höffner objected to tax frauds. The survey was conducted among the students of the University of Lodz and of the Medical University of Lodz. Its aim was to examine the students’ opinion about tax evasion. The students’ answers were grouped with regard to church attendance in order to trace if there exists a correlation between church attendance and tax morality. Statistical analysis indicated a connection between church attendance and tax morality. The highest tax morality was noticed in the group of regularly practising Catholics, a bit smaller in the non-practising or unbelieving group of people and the least tax morality was noticed among the irregularly practising group of Catholics. According to the students’ opinion, the main reason to pay taxes is for fear of financial sanction. Among other reasons the respondents listed that it is a national duty or that it is necessary to cover national expenditures. It is optimistic, however, that most of the students declared to pay the taxes fairly, if they run their own corporations in the future.

Opis:
In 2018, Statistics Netherlands carried out a general benchmark revision of their national accounts statistics. The base year was 2015. Special attention was paid to the exhaustiveness of the estimates. Among other, these include estimates for illegal activities and tax evasion. In the first step, the main (illegal and off the record) activities that were not included in the regular data sources underlying the national accounts were identified. In the second step, estimates were made for each identified activity, based on the scarce information data sources available, supplemented with assumptions. This paper describes the second step. The value added of illegal activities in 2015 was estimated at 4.8 billion euros, which is 0.7% of gross domestic product (GDP). The explicit adjustment for tax evasion was about 3.9 billion euros, which is slightly <0.6% of GDP.

Opis:
To evaluate the spatialities of the illegal wage practice where employers pay their declared employees both an official declared wage and an undeclared ‘envelope’ wage so as to avoid tax liabilities, a 2007 survey conducted in 27 European Union (EU) member states is reported. The finding is that 5% of employees received envelope wages which amount on average to some two-fifths of their wage packet. Revealing how, although heavily concentrated in a small group of East-Central European nations, this wage practice is nonetheless ubiquitous, the paper concludes by discussing how this practice might be tackled.

Opis:
When considering tax reporting, taxpayers have an individual attitude towards the risk of being caught evading taxes by the tax authorities. This attitude is interdependent with how this inherent risk is perceived. We propose to analyse this phenomenon through a risk perspective by adding a risk attitude and corresponding perceived probability of being caught evading. In this paper, we study the dynamics of tax evasion under risk perception and attitude, and the consequent propensity of imitators to evade or to comply. Under this proposal, we conduct our experiments through a multi-agent based simulation. Simulation results suggest first that the risk attitude, in conjunction with perceived risk and its consequences are the main reasons to guarantee a low level of tax evasion. Secondly, results also demonstrate a non-linear impact of tax rate, investment interest rate and fines which is especially interesting and non-intuitive.

This paper explores legal regulation and practical application of an institute of unreliable VAT payer in the Czech Republic. The paper presents the most important conclusions made by the author within his dissertation research. The first aim is to introduce the institute of unreliable VAT payer and a mechanism of its application to foreign readers in order to enable cross-border comparisons with similar tools used in other states. The second aim of the paper is to confirm or disprove a hypothesis that legal regulation of the institute of unreliable VAT payer does not suffer from any serious deficit which would make it impossible to use this tool properly. The author mainly applies analysis, synthesis and description method. The author came to a conclusion that unreliable VAT payer is a functional tool in practice, but it suffers from several fundamental constitutional deficits.

The share of grey area in tourism is very high: it is estimated that in 2016 only the respective tax gap stood about PLN 2.3 billion. The main reason behind is the low scale of business (small firms prevail) whose costs (both administrative and financial) are high, its economic potential is low, while its range usually local only. That is why these firms often evade taxation and social and health insurance contributions, they often understate their income while overstate costs, and invest finances from unknown sources. The article presents proposals for measures aimed at limiting the grey area and for improving tax collection.

Opis:
Research background: Tax evasion is an urgent challenge for governments, as reaching sufficient level of tax revenues enable adequate sustainable economic development. The motivation for the research was thus the identification of the situation in the EU countries.  Purpose of the article: The main research objective was to identify the extent of tax evasion in the EU countries, with a subsequent specific focus on the econometric predictive models and a forecast of their future development in the case of Slovakia as the poorest performing country of the V4 in this area.  Methods: The research was primarily based on testing selected statistical indicators in the field of tax evasions expressed on the basis of the VAT gap. The data for the research was obtained from the EUROSTAT database and the international system VIES for the period between 2000 and 2017. In addition to panel graphs, the research hypotheses were tested primarily using a cluster analysis, t-test, time series analysis, and an analysis of the time series trend with 4 basic models: linear trend, quadratic trend, growth curve model, and S-curve model. On the basis of the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), the S-Curve model was selected as the determining model of predicting tax evasion.  Findings & value added: Based on the results of the cluster analysis, the EU countries were divided into five reference groups by the VAT gap value, using the VAT gap percentage share on the overall GDP value. The research also provides a unique methodological framework and a unique econometric model for predicting the future VAT gap in Slovakia as the poorest performing country of the V4 in this area, which is applicable to other V4 and EU countries. The research results also enable policy-makers in the EU countries and specifically also in Slovakia and other V4 countries to compare themselves explicitly with the reference countries of the EU in terms of tax evasion and subsequently adopt adequate measures to improve the effectiveness and performance in this field.

Opis:
Celem niniejszego opracowania było sformułowanie kryteriów rozróżniających pojęcia unikania opodatkowania i uchylania się od opodatkowania. Choć oba zachowania zmierzają do redukcji (eliminacji) ciężaru podatkowego, to uchylanie się od opodatkowania jest czynem polegającym na zaniechaniu, natomiast unikanie opodatkowania jest działaniem. Uchylanie się od opodatkowania jest zachowaniem nielegalnym, natomiast czynności podjęte w ramach unikania opodatkowania mieszczą się w obszarze wyznaczonym przez przepisy prawa i nie są sprzeczne z prawem. Nie istnieje bowiem norma nakładająca obowiązek wejścia w pole obowiązku podatkowego i stania się podatnikiem. Uchylanie się od opodatkowania należy definiować jako zachowanie zmierzające do nielegalnego wyeliminowania ciężaru podatkowego poprzez nieujawnienie zaistniałego podatkowego stanu faktycznego. Unikanie opodatkowania nie jest przez prawo zabronione. Do czynności podjętych w ramach unikania opodatkowania nie stosuje się ani sankcji podatkowych ani sankcji karnych, dlatego unikanie opodatkowania ograniczane jest za pomocą klauzuli przeciwko unikaniu opodatkowania. Państwo może na poziomie polityki podatkowej podejmować działania zmierzające do eliminacji lub uściślenia regulacji będących źródłem nadużyć. Unikając opodatkowania, sprawca podejmuje czynności niemające uzasadnienia gospodarczego jedynie po to, by doprowadzić do osiągnięcia korzyści podatkowych, tj. niepowstania zobowiązania podatkowego, odsunięcia w czasie powstania zobowiązania podatkowego lub obniżenia jego wysokości albo powstania lub zawyżenia straty podatkowej.
The article presents some reflections on the essence of tax avoidance and tax evasion in Polish tax system. Both tax evasion and avoidance can be viewed as forms of tax noncompliance as they describe activities that intend to reduce one’s tax burden. The article’s main part covers the differences between these two phenomena. Analysis leads to form the differencing criteria. Tax evasion which is the kind of tax fraud is strictly connected with penal law, that is based on the special rules of responsibility. The penal responsibility has subjective and individual character. In case of tax evasion, a taxpayer does not report the subject of taxation (f.e. income) to the tax authorities in order to eliminate their tax liability. Tax avoidance is based on the abuse of tax law by means of making the artificial constructions (“tax gaps”). These constructions have no economic meaning and their only aim is reducing the taxation burden. Tax evasion is always illegal and immoral whereas tax avoidance is not illegal but means the abuse of tax legislation in order to draw benefits contrary to its aims. Both above-mentioned phenomena are incompatible with the principles upon which Polish tax system is founded. They stay in contradiction with the axiology of tax law, mainly the rules of equality and universality in taxation.

Opis:
Czarne listy sporządzone przez OECD są najbardziej wpływowym narzędziem w walce przeciwko rajom podatkowym. Dzięki swemu autorytetowi i przewodniej roli wśród międzynarodowych organizacji gospodarczych, używany przez OECD termin „raje podatkowe” zaczął być uznawany za negatywny. Kraje zareagowały na olbrzymi wzrost sektora rajów podatkowych poprzez wprowadzenie określonych przepisów prawnych i administracyjnych ograniczających transfery finansowe do rajów podatkowych, a także wytoczyły sądowe procesy o oszustwa. Głównym celem tych działań było zapobieganie temu, by lokalni podatnicy nie ukrywali swych dochodów w rajach podatkowych. By nadmiernie nie ograniczać zasadnego handlu międzynarodowego i transgranicznej działalności inwestycyjnej, krajowe przepisy wymierzone w raje podatkowe zwykle wyznaczają granicę pomiędzy działalnością rajów podatkowych a rzeczywistym biznesem międzynarodowym i stosują się tylko do tych pierwszych.
Black lists are the most influential in the project against tax havens. By relying on its authority and pre-eminence among economically-oriented international organisations, the OECD’s use of the expression “tax havens” started being regarded as endowed with a pejorative meaning. Countries have reacted to the massive growth of tax haven sectors by enacting specific legislation and administrative rules aiming at curbing transfers to tax havens, and judicially attacked tax haven transactions as shams. The main purpose of these measures was to prevent local taxpayers from sheltering income in tax havens through the use of formal structures lacking economic substance. In order not to unduly restrict legitimate international trade and cross-border investment activities, domestic anti-tax haven regulations generally draw a line between tax haven operations and legitimate international business activities, and apply only with reference to the former.

Opis:
This paper gives an insight into the application of one of the institutions of law adopted nearly twenty years ago by the government to counteract income tax evasion in Poland. The contents of the paper focusses on two main issues. First it enquires into the institution in question - in particular into its design, giving consideration both to the sources of information necessary to detect and disclose income concealment, standards of tax procedures and the legal framework behind them. In the course of this enquiry certain questions are asked and answered in relationship to the purpose, the effects, the sustainability of the regulations, that in its revised structure are in effect since 1st of January 2016, to the existing economic conditions. Secondly it determines the frequency and scope of the application of the procedures and provisions under consideration while taking into account the statistical data from the Ministry of Finance. It examines the results of tax investigations and evaluates their performance by using selected indicators. It also brings to light certain facts about the scale and nature of the phenomenon of income concealment in Poland.
Artykuł dotyczy funkcjonowania jednej z instytucji prawa podatkowego powołanej do życia około dwudziestu lat temu przez władze państwowe w celu przeciwdziałania zjawisku uchylania się od opodatkowania podatkiem dochodowym od osób fizycznych w Polsce. Analizie poddano instytucję, o której mowa ‒ w szczególności jej ukształtowanie, z uwzględnieniem zarówno źródeł informacji niezbędnych do wykrycia i ujawnienia zjawiska ukrywania dochodów, jak i standardów procedur podatkowych oraz wdrożonych w związku z nimi ram prawnych. W pracy – po pierwsze – udzielono odpowiedzi na pytania dotyczące celu, skutków i dostosowania regulacji, które w zmienionej formie obowiązują od 1 stycznia 2016 r., do istniejących warunków gospodarczych, po drugie, określono częstotliwość i zakres stosowania analizowanych procedur i przepisów przy uwzględnieniu danych statystycznych Ministerstwa Finansów. Zbadano również wyniki postępowań podatkowych i za pomocą wybranych wskaźników oceniono ich skuteczność, a także wskazano na fakty mogące świadczyć o skali i charakterze nieujawniania dochodów w Polsce.

Opis:
The article examines changes in the determinants of unregistered employment in Poland during periods of high and low economic growth. Using Labor Force Survey data and probit models, the authors analyze the structure and determinants of unregistered employment in 2003 and 2008. In 2003 unemployment ran high, while in 2008 joblessness was relatively low and accompanied by high wage pressure. The authors look at two groups of workers in the context of unregistered employment: those officially unemployed and those officially employed but seeking to supplement their incomes by taking up jobs in the unregistered segment of the economy. After analyzing changes in basic demographic and socioeconomic variables, Cichocki and Tyrowicz conclude that unemployed individuals tend to take up jobs in the unregistered segment of the economy both when the labor market suffers from high unemployment and when wage pressure rises. Generally, the bargaining position of employees with regard to employers improved when the labor market revived and when the unregistered segment of the economy shrank in terms of both individual sectors and qualifications. Young unemployed people find it relatively easier to get informal work, the authors conclude, while no specific factors force young employees to look for jobs in the shadow economy. Theoretically, the tax-evading, unregistered segment of the economy could be expected to display pro-cyclical changes, the authors say, shrinking in times of fast economic growth and expanding in periods of poor macroeconomic trends. But in reality the shadow economy provides a considerable measure of flexibility to employers, as a result of which unregistered employment tends to display countercyclical behavior, according to Cichocki and Tyrowicz.
