Reform of the budgetary management system has yielded initial results yet remains in the preliminary stage. While progress has been made in reforming indirect taxes, the reform of direct taxes is slow and presents a major obstacle. Despite breakthroughs, the progress of public finance reforms remains slow and impedes reforms on other fronts. Fiscal and tax reforms are uneven and should be implemented in coordination. Fiscal and tax reforms should more vigorously support overall reforms.展开更多

In several countries, tobacco revenue contributes to the health of victims. This study aimed to evaluate the contribution of tobacco taxes to the financing of the health system in Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) during the period of 3 years (from 2019 to 2021) in order to give some suggestions. A descriptive literature review on the tobacco tax was conducted from three tobacco tax collection services: the services of the General Secretariat of Health in DRC (SGSH), the Program of the National Health Account (PNHA) and the General Direction of Customs and Assizes (GDCA). The analysis revealed that no retrocession and no activity covered by the tax collected on tobacco does not contribute to the financing of the health sector, in order to reduce the burden of households already impoverished by diseases caused by tobacco.展开更多

A low level of taxation, the policy of"thin state policy" and a small share of public sector have influenced the macroeconomics of Estonia since its re-independence. The indirect taxes, especially the consumption taxes, are dominating in Estonian taxation system. The increase of tax burden a little more than 2% in 2009 through the increase of value added tax (VAT) and excises, and the pruning of income taxation benefits did not enlarge state budget in the same amount. The pruning of budget did not just decrease the internal market of the state very rapidly, but also decrease the incomes of the future periods, due to a big dominant of consumption taxes. The economic depression, which began in 2008, has demonstrated a week orientation of Estonian economy, threaten its taxation system on innovation. The amount of investments has essentially decreased than the decrease of GDP and state budget.展开更多

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 question arises whether such changes were really effective for the central budget. 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

Such a tax is collected as a flat fee from the importer or producer of the taxable fuel product. Fuel-efficiency improvements and the adoption of zero-emission vehicles result in a continuous decrease in gasoline tax revenues. This paper proposes a novel distance-based alternative method to replace current gasoline tax collection systems in Japan by providing a software architecture platform. In this platform, we utilize driving information gathered via communication mechanisms installed in connected automated vehicles to develop a system that collects gasoline tax based on reserving spatio-temporal grids. Spatio-temporal sections are created by dividing space and time into equal grids and a designated tax charge is assigned. Connected automated vehicles reserve a planned travel route in advance and travel based on reservation information. The performance evaluation results indicate that the proposed system adequately reserves the requested grids and accurately collects gasoline taxes based on a spatio-temporal grid with minimum communication time and no data package loss. The proposed method is based on micro travel distance charges, which generates gasoline tax revenue by 5.7 percent for model year 2022 and 21.8 percent for model year 2030 as compared to the current flat-fee system.展开更多

Meanwhile, the disadvantage of property tax system in China exacerbates the dilemma of local finance, which can' t play the role of regulating real estate market. As the main content of real-estate tax reform, house property tax reform has been widely concerned and discussed since 2003. The paper analyzes the characteristics and disadvantages of the existing real-estate tax in China and the real-estate tax reform in Shanghai and Chongqing.
