It was based on income taxes and turnover （especially value added） taxes. Primarily income taxes had high tax rates. In corporate tax the rate was proportional and at the beginning amounted to 40%. For natural persons the taxation had a progressive tendency. The tax rates amounted to 21%, 33% and 45% respectively with very low limits of income, which resulted in changing the rate. Since the beginning of 1991 and 1992 till now the tax rates have been decreased significantly. Now the tax rates amount to 18% and 32% respectively with high level of income, which results in changing the rate.

The article formulates and verifies a hypothesis assuming that lowering the rates was justified by the contemporary ＂fashion＂ rather than economic reasons. According to financial aspects, the impact of lower rates on the central budged will be examined.展开更多

Practice during our transition period shows that adjusting personal income distribution through the tax system is an important part of the government＇s public policy, but also an objective requirement of building a socialist harmonious society.展开更多
