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...

Optimal Alcohol Taxation in the Czech Republic according to the Laffer Curve Theory
Šebestová, Tereza ; Janíčko, Martin (advisor) ; Slaný, Martin (referee)
This bachelor thesis examines the relationship of excise duties on spirits and beer and its revenues in the Czech Republic from 1994 to 2014 according to the Laffer Curve theory and tries to find the optimal tax point using the regression analysis. Optimal taxation is defined in order to be revenue-maximising. According to this requirement I defined the optimal taxation on spirits at the rate 17 035 CZK/hl/pure alcohol and the optimal taxation on beer at the rate cca 27/CZK/degree Plato. Both of these rates lie on the left side of the current taxation and therefore I claim that the tax burden is too high and its decline would brings the state higher revenues.

The Impact of Excise Duty on Tobaco Products to Consumers in the Czech Republic
KADLECOVÁ, Kateřina
This bachelor thesis aims to compute and then compare the effective tax rate on tobacco products and to determine the impact of the tax rate on taxpayers of various income groups. Finding effective tax rate and the impact it is done for the years 2009 to 2014 using data from the household budget statistics. Progressivity index is checked by Kakwani´s method which is based on comparing curves tax concentration curves and income concentration, Lorenz curve. The second method, the effective tax rate, which are used for two different tax bases, the spending on tobacco and net income. The comparison analysis is a regressive impact of the tax on tobacco products into ten income groups. Tax more falls on taxpayers with lower incomes. Results at the effective rate is the basis for spending on tobacco were different from other results. According to verbal assessment progressivity index is mostly proportional impact in all years except 2012, which is slightly regressive. To analyze the impact of taxes on tobacco products would not recommend using the method of effective tax rates, which are used as the denominator in the tax base expenditure on tobacco.

ANALYSIS OF DEVELOPMENT OF EXCISE DUTY ON TOBACCO PRODUCTS AND ITS INFLUENCE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC FROM 1993 TO THE PRESENT
Valešová, Věra ; Ševčík, Miroslav (advisor) ; Pekárek, Štěpán (referee)
The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the excise duty on tobacco products in the Czech Republic since 1993 up to the present time, especially the development of rates and revenues. Excise duty is imposed on tobacco products in the Czech Republic and also in the other European Union countries. Harmonisation efforts in the European Union and also fiscal need of Czech Republic cause frequent changes in tobacco excise duty rates, which conduces not only to change of tax collection, but can also bring some other related effects. In the theoretical part I first characterize the tax theory with a detailed focus on excise duty on tobacco products. Subsequently I define the meaning of excise duty on tobacco products, the principles and the mechanisms of the tax collection. In the practical part of the thesis I aim at analyse the evolution of the legal framework that affects excise duty on tobacco products and significantly affects the thesis in other sections. Further, I analyse the relationship between the rate of excise duty on tobacco products and tax collection and find out that the higher rate of excise duty not always led to higher tax yields. Finally I assess the effectiveness of the increase of excise duty on tobacco products and its impact on the consumption of tobacco products, illegal market and the public budgets.

Analysis of the price level and gasoline quantum sold at a chosen distributor in the Czech Republic and in Poland
Hlůšek, Jakub ; Zeman, Karel (advisor) ; Krebs, Vojtěch (referee)
The aim of the thesis was to analyse dependency between setting of the price level and gasoline quantum sold at a chosen distributor in the Czech Republic and in Poland. In the first part of the thesis, there are characterized price theory, tax theory, theory of state interventions, supply, demand and price elasticity of demand. In the second part, first, there is analysed whole market with fuels in both countries with their comparison. These markets have had slightly different development and they do have different market structure, because of the existence of the market leader in Poland. Second, there are analysed the data of the chosen distributor and analysed dependencies between price and quantum sold. Research showed that there is an existence of dependencies of quantum sold on both change of the absolute price and change of the relative price. These dependencies and the impact of the relative price change is more significant in the Czech Republic than in Poland.

Novotná, Romana ; Kubátová, Květa (advisor) ; Morávková, Jana (referee)
The subject of this diploma thesis is to analyze the system of taxation of alcoholic beverages in the Scandinavian countries. The main aim of this thesis is to compare the taxation of alcoholic beverages in the Nordic countries with taxation in the rest of the European Union. The first part is theoretical and focuses on defining the concepts of tax competition, tax harmonization and coordination. It also includes harmonization of excise duties on alcoholic beverages based on the Directives of the European Union. The second part relates to the consumption of alcoholic beverages and deals with the historical aspect, changes in consumption patterns and the level of consumption in the Nordic countries. The third part deals with the taxation of alcoholic beverages, its development and differences in the Nordic countries compared with other countries of the European Union. In the second and the third part is carried out data analysis through statistical hypothesis testing and calculation of the coefficient of variation. The fourth part contains the evaluation. The thesis is peformed using descriptive, research, analytical and comparative methods and methods of mathematical statistics. The main outcome of this thesis is the finding that in all kinds of examined alcohol except spirits there is a different (for still wine and intermediate products even very different) level of taxation in the Nordic countries and other countries of the European Union.

Dufek, Jakub ; Slintáková, Barbora (advisor) ; Kozubíková, Pavlína (referee)
Diploma thesis "Taxation of spirits in the Czech Republic and in the world" is focused on taxation of this comodity, legislative regulation and description of effects on society. This work is divided into four main chapters. The first two of them describe laws related to taxation of sprits. The main purpose of this section is to focus on the law of the Czech Republic and also on the regulation of the European Union, because the EU regulation has high influence on our country. Apart from those parts this section also contains history of excise duties in our country.The second chapter is oriented on tax and economy theories of excises. After that follows the second half of the work, where I am aiming on costs and revenues in relation with spirits (alcohol in general). The third chapter will describe the method of calculation of costs arising from consumption of alcoholic beverages based on standards of World Health Organisation. At the end of this section social costs concerning consumption of alcohol will be quantified and also compared on international basis. The last chapter will be about revenues from spirits excise duty and I will focus on significance of this tax in the Czech Republic and other OECD countries, tax rates of spirits and in conclusion I am going to find out, if a relation between tax rate size and amount of revenues from spirits excise exists.
