The statistical capturing of taxes
Kleinová, Nikola ; Sixta, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Vltavská, Kristýna (referee)
Nowadays taxes are the most important tax income of the state budget and at the same time they affect the standard of living of the population in various ways. Although the countries try to harmonize tax systems, there are still considerable differences between them. The aim of the thesis is to capture taxes in the Czech Republic from the point of view of statistics and then perform the comparison within the countries of the European Union. The thesis contains a brief characterization of the national accounts and the classification of the taxes in the national accounts according to the ESA 2010. It further deals with the description of the Czech tax system, including a definition of the individual taxes. The subsequent section captures the tax burden expressed by tax quota and the rest of the thesis is devoted to the cluster analysis, which is then applied to the data from the annual national accounts. Using cluster analysis, EU countries have been divided into groups according to similarities and differences in tax systems and in particular on the basis of the tax quota.

Bušovská, Monika ; Vančurová, Alena (advisor) ; Izák, Vratislav (referee) ; Jareš, Martin (referee)
Formation of a common single market without distortions is one of the main priorities during the integration process of the European Union. For this purpose it is necessary to coordinate activities of all the Members throughout the entire Community ant it should lead to European integration and convergence. The main aim of this work is to verify European formation of the common single market throughout European tax policy in other words, through the convergence of the tax burden. Secondary aim is focused on the question of what impact do convergence of tax mixes and tax competition have on the convergence of the taxation in the EU. For this purposes data from the years of 1965 - 2011 in combination with methods of Beta Convergence, Sigma Convergence and panel regression analysis with fixed effects are used. Results confirm the tax systems convergence and its speed not only in the area of total tax burden but also in tax mixes, implicit tax rates and some statutory tax rates. Panel regression analysis with fixed effects subsequently confirmed the positive impact of the convergence of nearly all tax mixes parts and tax competiton on the total tax burden convergence. The highest impact on the tax convergence was verified at the tax competition and property taxes. All models accomplish diagnostic tests and are econometrically robust. It was confirmed the European Union has been fulfilled its primary aim through the tax policy and under established assumptions the highest impact on tax convergence have tax competition and property taxes.

Typology of EU member states' tax systems with an emphasis on Slovakia
Štefanský, Martin ; Kubátová, Květa (advisor) ; Kostohryz, Jiří (referee)
The main objective of this bachelor thesis is to create distinctive groups of member states of the European union in terms of their tax systems based on cluster analysis computed in the XLSTAT program on data from the annual report of the European Statistical Office (Eurostat). Partial aim´s task is to assign certain characteristics that best describe such defined groups of states. The theoretical part deals with the definition of the terms tax system, tax mix and tax quota, along with the factors that affect or distort these indicators. The practical part contains the general characteristics of the method of cluster analysis, with an emphasis on the k-means clustering method, which was applied in the analysis. The last chapter contains an author´s description of created clusters that are the outcome of our analysis in the XLSTAT program.

Analysis of the tax system in the Czech republic and the Slovak from 1989 to the present day focusing the most distinctive differences and their impact on their economies
Burešová, Petra ; Chmelová, Pavla (advisor) ; Zeman, Karel (referee)
The goal of thesis is an analysis of taxation system in Czech and Slovak Republic. Furthermore the thesis focuses on macroeconomic effects of changes in taxing. In theoretical section are defined terms related to taxing matter. In this section we are looking at taxes as government revenue, which is more discussed in practical section of this thesis. Next there are defined macroeconomic indicators - GDP, unemployment and tax quota; those are also discussed and used further. In practical section is at first oulined situation in Czechoslovakia in 1989. Next there are introduced reasons and requirements for in 1993. In next part there is discussed taxation systems analysis in Czech and Slovak Republic since 1993 itself. In this section are stated main differences and similarities between these two taxation systems. Last parts of practical section are dedicated to evolution of macroeconomic indicators analysis in context of changes in taxing. In last part - conclusion - can be found an evaluation of differences and similarities between systems. Despite the separation of both countries and frequent changes in taxation, the systems are much alike. Most distinctions can be found in income taxation, especially in a period when flat tax came into effect, which was expected, however that does not apply anymore due to its abolishment. But even after abolishment of flat tax, the most noticable distinction can still be found in income taxation.

Measuring performance of VAT in EU
Lacková, Lucie ; Zídková, Hana (advisor) ; Bušovský, Ladislav (referee)
The thesis assesses measurements of the VAT efficiency. It compares the tax quota, implicit tax rate and VAT revenue ratio. The first chapter deals with theoretical foundations for a flat rate consumption tax. Following chapters discuss the perquisites for VAT efficiency calculations (comparing actual VAT revenue and theoretical amount of tax base). Following chapters assess the above mentioned calculations, with special respect to VAT Revenue Ratio, which is analyzed in detail and to which is presented a comparison across the EU countries. The thesis further analyses Policy Efficiency Ratio (policy gap) and Compliance Efficiency Ratio (compliance gap). In its conclusion it summarizes the information gathered and presents a number of possible improvements.

Tax reform trends in EU countries (comparison of new and old EU member states)
Kadavá, Jana ; Izák, Vratislav (advisor) ; Klazar, Stanislav (referee)
This thesis is focusing on the major trends in the tax reform in the European Union. The direction of development from direct to indirect taxes is analyzed and it attempts to find some consistent trends in taxation between selected countries within groups of new and old member states of the European Union in 1995 - 2011. Firstly the text gives the reader an introduction to tax theory and the optimal design of tax system is presented. Thesis also focuses on the issue of tax policy in the European Union. It describes the main tax policy challenges and possible design of efficiency-enhancing tax reforms. The global macroeconomic model QUEST III is being introduced. This model is widely used by international institutions for the quantitative evaluation of the potential impacts of tax policies. Furthermore, the development and structure of the tax mix is analyzed as well as the overall tax burden and labour taxation in new and old member states of the European Union. In conclusion there is commentary to stated hypothesis that in recent years there has been increasing emphasis on indirect taxes, while the direct taxes were being reduced.

The evolution of the tax system in the Czech Republic territory after 1989
Ježková, Barbora ; Filipová, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Drozen, František (referee)
The thesis deals with the historical evolution of the tax system in the territory of the Czech Republic from a period of the Czechoslovak Socialistic Republic in 1989 until today. The main focus of this thesis concerns a comprehensive view into that more than twenty years lasting tax evolution and a specification of the most important tax changes and reforms as I see them. The thesis contains a description of the tax system valid in 1989. Afterwards it mentions the transformation process from the central-planning economy towards the market one as well as the tax reform in 1993. The next part of the thesis is devoted to the tax changes between 1993-2013 which comprise notably the impact of the accession of the Czech Republic to the European Union in 2004 on the tax sytem and the tax reform in 2008. The evolution of the tax system is illustrated by the tax to GDP ratio, the tax mix and the related tax burden impact on tax payers. The evolution is also compared with that of other OECD countries. The today's tax system (2013) is subsequently assessed. On the basis of the historical and political aspects of the czech tax systems as well as on the basis of the assessment of the valid one I present antocipated conceptions of the subsequent tax system evolution.
