The impact of VAT rate changes on the income side of the Czech Republic’s national budget
Berka, Rostislav ; Kučerová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Pavel, Jan (referee)
This bachelor's thesis discusses all of the legislative changes to the value added tax rates and the impact they have on the national budget revenue of the Czech Republic. The objective of this thesis is to perform a detailed analysis of the individual changes that have been made to the rates, primarily through using the relevant explanatory memoranda to determine the predefined intended impact on the national budget, which is then subsequently compared to the actual situation. Any deviations from the planned values are analysed using, amongst other things, selected macroeconomic indicators. I selected the tax rate as the key factor that has an effect on national budget revenue. I also considered additional aspects that might influence changes in the national budget revenue to a significant degree, in some cases, even more than the tax rate changes. This thesis will provide the reader with a historic overview of all of the legislative changes that have been implemented in relation to the tax rate and the varying impact they have had on the national budget. In addition, this thesis provides information on the predictions for the future.

The goal of this diploma thesis is to analyze the evolution of the tax progressivity of the personal income tax in the Czech Republic in 1993-2010. The first part focuses on the interpretation of personal income tax and definition of terms such as a taxpayer, a tax subject, a creation and a modification of a tax base, rates and options for tax liability adjustments. The second part deals with methods for measuring tax progressivity with key focus on global indicators. In the third part the analysis itself is carried out.

The Household Budget Statistics published annually by the Czech Statistical Office serves as input data. According to the results of this paper, tax progressivity of the personal income tax in the Czech Republic is low, but with increasing tendency.

The budgetary process in the Czech Republic and OECD countries: Control and audit
Fuková, Markéta ; Sedmihradská, Lucie (advisor) ; Kučerová, Zuzana (referee)
This thesis deals with the control and audit of the state budget. The main objective is to evaluate the control and audit of state budget in the Czech Republic and provide recommendations. To achieve this objective, content analysis of literature and laws is done. Then based on the database of Budget Practices and Procedures Database, analysis of the responses of OECD countries is made. According to responses from the database, tables that compare the internal audit, external audit and performance audit carried out by the supreme audit institutions are compiled. From obtained knowledge and appreciation of the situation in the Czech Republic recommendations are proposed. In the area of internal audit is strictly necessary to separate the internal auditing function and increase the number of performance audits. In the area of external audit is essential to strengthen the powers of the Supreme Audit Office and legislatively adjust the annual audit of state budget. For the implementation of a performance audit carried out by the supreme audit institutions is necessary to eliminate the mistake in the law on the Supreme Audit Office, where it is not requirement of control effectiveness. It is necessary that the Supreme Audit Office began to conduct a performance audit. In the whole control system is necessary to increase the enforceability of the audit conclusions and ensure prosecution of those responsible for the shortcomings.

The analysis showed that the negative impacts on the final prices of public contracts were only marginal. Nevertheless the real problem with post-contracting behavior might be the lack of transparency regarding providing or releasing information.

It defines general terms which are connected with this topic. It gives a brief characterictic of main supervisory bodies - Nejvyšší kontrolní úřad and Úřad pro ochranu hospodářské soutěže. Data, which were important for the analysis, were obtained through my personal research by using the law of providing information. This research was oriented on subjects, which according to supervisory bodies did not proceed the public procurement processes as they should and in case of ÚOHS on subjects which got a fine. The main purpose of the research was to find out if they took any steps to avoid this situation again in the future. The results were analyzed and compared with data which were published in Bachan (2009). Unfortunately there is not any improvement and the efficiency of the supervisory process is still bad.
