Sejkora, Tomáš ; Kohajda, Michael (advisor) ; Boháč, Radim (referee)
Diploma Thesis Abstract This diploma thesis is focused on the several and joint liability institute as the main securing VAT institute (instrument) with its own legislation in the Czech VAT Act. This thesis should be a comprehensive analysis of the matter of the several and joint liability in the tax process and should provide an alternative view of some of Czech tax doctrinal conclusions. The introductory part of this thesis is devoted to the particular several and joint liability issues arising from the confrontation between private and public branches of law. The author considers the judicial praxis of awarding the subject of the several and joint liability by recourse wrong. This recourse is derived from the unjust enrichment institute by the Czech Supreme Court. The problem is seen by the author in the fact, that the subject of the joint and several liability does his own legal duty and does not fulfil someone else obligation. Then follows the section about the general legislation of the tax joint and several liability. This tax legislation notably regulates status of the tax subject of the several and joint liability in the tax process and the rest of this legislation should be applied on VAT several and joint liability due to the subsidiarity principle. The main section about the individual subject...

Taxation of wine from the viewpoint of legal regulations of the European Union
Nekovářová, Tereza ; Karfíková, Marie (advisor) ; Marková, Hana (referee) ; Švarc, Zbyněk (referee)
The issues of assurance of sources for national budgets are eternal topics which are apparently current in any phase of the economic cycle, and it holds still more for the period of recession. In response to the outbreak of a financial crisis it is always possible to see the needs of finding new sources of financing of government expenses. Even though taxation of wine is rather a marginal topic in this regard, it is necessary to ask why this is so and whether it is not just this area that hides a large potential. Taxation of wine, however, plays an important role not only as a source of incomes for the state budget, but also as a tool of regulation of consumption of this commodity, which is negatively perceived from the viewpoint of human health. The imposition of taxation of wine does not influence consumers' behaviour only, but it has also impacts on plant production in this sector. At the same time, the entire issue acquires an absolutely different dimension through the fact that the area of taxation of wine belongs among the fields which are subject to harmonisation on the part of the European Union. At the time of globalisation and continually intensifying European integration it is important to be able to gain maximum yields from these aspects of the economy. In connection with harmonisation...

Havránek, Štěpán ; Boháč, Radim (advisor) ; Kohajda, Michael (referee)
Thesis is focused on fight against indirect tax evasion. This topic was selected because it is a current issue. This is evidenced by media coverage regarding revealed tax evasion schemes; total estimated volume of tax evaded and increased activity of legislator in this field. The thesis is divided into three parts. In first part, I start with a general description of indirect taxes. I subsequently proceed with description of individual indirect taxes in the Czech Republic - value added tax, excise tax, and energy tax - and a brief summary of their evolution, main principles of functioning and their sources of law, both Czech and European. In second part, I tackle the problem of tax optimization, in particular the difference between legal and illegal methods of lowering ones tax. For this purpose, I go into more detail in explaining differences between tax planning, tax avoidance and tax evasion. I also draw attention to problems related to distinguishing these categories and to how these are interpreted differently by tax authorities in Anglo-Saxon and Continental area. After establishing theoretical background, I proceed by describing particular methods of evading tax, focusing mainly at illegal imports and carousel fraud, which, according to the Ministry of Finance, deprives Czech Republic of CZK 15...

Analysis of the impact of the proposed introduction of excise tax on still wines if applied on market subjects and company Vinium a.s.
Kurka, Vladimír ; Chytil, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Slaný, Martin (referee)
The thesis deals with possible impacts of non-zero rate of excise tax on still wine if applied on market subjects which means consumers, producers and the government. Function of price elasticity demand for wine in the Czech Republic is created and using regression analysis is found that demand for wines in the Czech Republic is inelastic. Original hypothesis that introduction of excise tax of 10 CZK per one litter of still wine would not positively impact any of affected subjects has not been confirmed. Demand for still wine would be reduced if excise tax was exercised and therefore producers and customers would be harmed but the analysis shows that the government would increase its tax collection. Another finding is that cheap wines are more price elastic and impact of tax growth on demand for these wines would be greater than in case of more expensive wines. Results of research are applied on the VINIUM Company and its financial statements with finding that introduction of excise tax would probably lead to bankruptcy of the company.
