Research and development works (RD works) in accounting and management are increasingly being implemented and used, both in Poland and around the world. The legislator is constantly trying to introduce new benefits into the legal system in the form of tax breaks. However, as shown in the article, respondents (accountants, managers, beneficial owners) have low awareness and knowledge of possible solutions. The article aims to verify research hypotheses through chi-square tests of independence. The research questions regarding the relationship between the length of service and the position held, the position held and the knowledge of the combined (simultaneous) tax relief, as well as the relationship between the impact of the simultaneous tax relief and the respondents' suggestions regarding potential legal changes in its scope, were verified using hypotheses. research. The conducted research contributes to a current look at the work of RD, increasing the awareness of accountants and managers, and may also constitute the basis for the development and drawing of more reliable results in the future, assuming greater return of surveys.

The article evaluates the influence of the type of nominal personal income tax rate on its progressivity. This is examined in the Czech Republic in the period 1993–2020. Between 1993 and 2007, the nominal tax rate was progressive, while from 2008 until the end of 2020, the nominal rate was linear.

The paper analyzes the tax relief for employment of new residents. In the first two parts, there is a legal analysis of Art. 15c of the Law on Personal Income Tax and Art. 15a of the Law on Contributions for Mandatory Social Insurance. Then, this tax relief will be examined in the context of the principles of tax law and public finance, especially the principle of tax fairness, the principle of tax efficiency and the principle of the stability of the tax system. The conclusion is that the problem of the outflow of highly skilled workers could not be solved by partial reforms of tax laws. A systematic solution implies a radical reform of the personal income tax, which would be firmly based on the principles of tax law and tax science. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main goal of this study is to assess whether, and if so, how the tax policy is implemented in Poland in relation to informal partnerships. The justification for conducting research in this area is the growing number of such relationships and the demands formulated by the public on the principles of taxation of cohabitants. The study analyzes not only taxes on natural persons, but also the provisions governing the principles of tax liability. The research shows that while pro-family tax policy is implemented on a fairly large scale in Poland, it does not apply to cohabitants. In principle, cohabitants do not have the right to any preferential taxation rules, above all tax reliefs and exemptions. Moreover, the analysis of the research material clearly indicates that staying in cohabitation can even aggravate the situation of a cohabitant under tax law (which can be seen perfectly well on the example of a cohabitant's liability for his partner's taxes). On the basis of a critical analysis of the Polish tax law provisions, the general thesis has been formulated that the situation of cohabitants is affected by deep asymmetry, because on the one hand the legislator uses cohabitation to improve the allocation of public revenues, but on the other hand it does not include cohabitants with profamily tax policy (although cohabitation is very similar to marriage). The study includes certain demands on the legislator, thanks to which it is possible to cover cohabitants by pro-family tax policy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study contains a critical analysis of the judgment of the Voivodship Administrative Court in Rzeszów of 15th December 2015 (I SA/Rz 1090/15). In the Authors’ opinion the court wrongly interpreted the need for a strict interpretation of tax law in respect of the provisions implementing tax exemptions. In this study Authors claim that this view of the judges is not supported by the content of the current regulations and by doctrinal views.

In this paper the authors analyze legal and economic aspect of the tax reliefs related to solving housing issue in the Serbian system of personal income tax, i.e. capital gains tax.

Tax reliefs are optional, but a very important element of the taxation system. This element is used for different purposes by a country’s government institutions. Tax reliefs are a form of tax expenditure that helps to reduce budget revenues. Tax reliefs influence individual and corporate financial behaviour and can have positive or negative effects on the economic and social factors. In the last few years, expansion of tax relief has attracted worldwide attention because of the fact that, after the global financial crisis, many countries are still suffering from fiscal deficits, and expansion of tax relief has not contributed to solving this problem. Tax reliefs are presupposed to be a fiscal policy tool of significance in various subsystems of public finances. The main aim of this article is to examine the impact of personal income tax reliefs on Lithuanian public finances. To achieve this aim, statistical information was systemized; Monte Carlo method was used to group data by horizontal rows and logical links analysed, which helped to evaluate the influence of tax reliefs on public finances. In the simulations, the Monte Carlo method helped to simulate random samples, which were then examined by adapting the conclusions of the theory of probability and mathematical statistics methods.

The aim of the article is to explore how the Polish Constitution affects lawmaking of the personal income tax (PIT). The main focus is put on the introduction of the material structure of PIT. The first section examines whether the Constitution imposes restrictions on the legislator in this regard. Next, the author states that the provisions of the Constitution on freedoms and rights of persons and citizens should set the direction for the legislator how to distribute the burden of PIT. These are, in particular, the provisions which protect the good of the family. Equality before the law is also important. The author argues that these values should be taken into account when establishing tax reliefs in PIT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper focuses on tax relief individuals that are used to support other desirable public policy. They may represent hidden subsidies in the tax system, reducing tax revenue and complications in the administration. Analysis of tax reliefs is complicated because their uniform definition does not exist. They can mean deductions from the tax base (tax allowances), the tax relief or the tax credit, which reduce the actual tax liability. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the scope of use of tax reliefs, which are granted to individuals in the Czech Republic, in the form of non-taxable portion of the tax. Methodically, the research relies on the evaluation of secondary statistical data of the Czech Republic Financial Management and is based on aggregated data from tax returns filed for the years 2005 - 2014, which are statistically processed further.

Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly the subject of interest and support of the governments of developed countries in which these businesses are one of the factors that influence the economical development. Many external and internal factors influence on the establishment, operation, growth and development of SMEs. The developed countries of the world put SMEs in the focus of their economic strategies and programs with specific macroeconomic policies measures, such as targeted fiscal policy to SMEs, tax exemptions and special taxation schemes that directly affect the reduction of operating costs, improve liquidity and competitiveness of small and medium-sized businesses. Nevertheless, Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Srpska, still do not adopt tax policies and practices of many developed countries around the world, so not enough attention is being paid to the improvement of SMEs. The aim of this study is to define the factors in the area of tax policy, which discourage the survival and slow down the growth and development of SMEs. For this purpose, we have implemented quantitative research in the area of 5 cities and 16 municipalities in the Republic of Srpska on the sample of 199 examinees. Based on the results of our empirical study analysis, we came to a conclusion that 93,96% of the sampled SMEs believe that tax compliance is complicated and expensive, while 92,96% believe that tax laws are complex and complicated. That introduction of cash accounting for VAT will contribute to their business through increased turnover and enlarged range of services and products is considered by 83,42% of SMEs. Even 85,93% of the examinees think it would contribute to their business if they had a lower tax rate in the first three years after its establishment, while 69,35% of the examinees believe that the income tax rate is high. Introduction of the quarterly VAT fling is seen as a contribution to their business by 65,33% of the examinees.

This article aims to analyse the distributional impacts of the meal voucher system in the Czech Republic, especially concerning income inequality. It analyses the redistributive effects of meal allowances on various income deciles providing rough estimates of the impact of meal allowance tax exemption on the government budget and simulating several scenarios for the replacement of the current meal allowance scheme with flat meal allowances. We estimate that meal allowance tax relief represents a direct burden of around 11.3 billion Czech korunas for the state budget, although this approximation does not take indirect effects into account and could thus be an overestimate. We provide evidence which suggests that the current form of meal allowances widens the income gap between beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries, within as well as across the income deciles. Affluent households receive meal allowances more frequently, and, moreover, the allowances they receive are both nominally and proportionately higher. According to our simulation using a constant budget of the size of our rough estimate replacing the current meal allowance scheme with a flat meal allowance system would promote income equality. Such a change would benefit the lower deciles, due to a higher share of individuals in these deciles being entitled to meal allowances, while the upper decile households would see a decline in their meal allowances.

The paper discusses selected issues related to fiscal burden placed on the Polish families in light of concerns over Poland’s falling fertility rate which belongs to the lowest in the UE and the world. The author claims that one of the major reasons for that is an inefficient support to the families with children. This article analyses whether the fiscal system in Poland distinguishes people who bear significant costs associated with raising children. It presents Poles’ tax burden on labour income through the example of the largest group of taxpayers paying taxes under the relevant income tax scale, the scope of direct financial support to Polish families, as well as their fiscal burden associated with direct taxes.
