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...

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.

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.

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.
