Additionally, the author lists the major challenges confronting China＇s sustainable tax growth during the ＂12th Five-Year Plan ＂period （2011-2015）, for example, slowed growth in sources of taxation, a mismatched tax system, lagging reform in fiscal structure and the management system, and restrictions in tax collection and administration capacity. The author proposes the following suggestions： 1） a structural taxation reform should be carried out to promote sustainable economic growth and a change in development model, thereby consolidating the source base of taxation; 2） to consolidate the fiscal and taxation system through taxes and fees reform, standardizing the government budget, advancing reform in the tax-sharing system, and optimizing fiscal expenditure; and 3） to strengthen tax collection mechanisms by promoting taxation by law, implementing comprehensive taxation administration in the government, and improving the tax collection capacity.展开更多

Under IMF statistical framework, by using E-G two-step method in co-integration test and Granger causality test and empirically testing of the gross tax revenue and classified tax revenue in Australian, Canada, France, America, Britain these five countries, we can find that most indicators in most countries do not confirm to Wagner＇ s law. With the growth of GDP, tax revenue as a percentage of GDP rises periodically but not permanently. This period can be called the validity period of Wagner＇ s law in financial scale.展开更多

The need for new sources of revenue has been particularly acute in localities that have experienced rapid growth. The new act No. 447 of November 20, 2015 on Local Development Fee was approved in Slovakia. The Act comes into force on November 1, 2016. The paper points out possible problems associated with the introduction of the local development fee abroad and discribes the situation in Slovakia.展开更多

Fixed effects results show that a tax rate reduction from 15.3 to 8.4 % in the first 5 years of the reform did not lead to a corresponding decrease in local fiscal revenues. At the same time, farmers＇ income slightly decreased. In the second 5 years of the reform, the tax rate was reduced to zero. This time, local fiscal revenues decreased linearly with the tax cuts, and farmers＇ income increased by 17.8 %. The link between the actual fiscal revenue reduction and farmers＇ income suggests that merely changing the nominal level of taxation does not necessarily increase farmers＇ income. Rather, the complete implementation of the reform relates crucially to curbing local governments＇ unauthorized extractions.展开更多
