Mácová, Lucie ; Sedmihradská, Lucie (advisor) ; Dugová, Alena (referee)
The diploma thesis is concerned with influence of current economic crisis on tax revenues of municipalities. The main goal of thesis is to analyze this crisis influence on tax revenues of municipalities in the Czech Republic and especial in two chosen municipalities. In the first part the revenues of municipalities are described, in the second part the analysis of impact of the crisis to Czech region and municipalities follows. The third chapter is about two chosen municipalities and it analyzes their tax revenues between 2008 and 2010. The last part analyzes the cash performance in two chosen municipalities in 2008 and 2009. I found out that tax revenues of Czech municipalities decreased in 2009 by 11,6%, it is 17,8 billion Czech Crowns. In 2010 total tax revenues increased by 4,6%. In Bechyně we can see the similar situation as in the Czech Republic. Tax revenues decreased by 13% in 2009, they increased then by only 3% in 2010. In Sudoměřice u Bechyně there is the situation surprisingly different. In 2009 tax revenues decreased only by 5,5%. In 2010 they increased by 12%. Two chosen municipalities overcame the crisis well, they did not have any existential problems and they were able to manage the bad economic situation and covered it from their resources.

Kučerová, Lenka ; Sedmihradská, Lucie (advisor) ; Pšurná, Pavla (referee)
The thesis deals with effects of the economic crisis on the performance of two selected municipalities, Slaný and Smečno. There is analyzed the influence of crisis on the financial management of municipalities in 2008-2010. The thesis proposed ways communities can prevent a reduction in tax revenues and increase in current expenditures. Follow the determination whether these communities use these options. An integral part is the financial analysis that evaluates the financial health of both communities in 2008-2010.I focuses on the basic of indicators based on income and expenditure, as well as the debt and liquidity indicators. The work shows that the economic crisis has affected both municipalities. A noticeable drop in revenue was primarily in income taxes. On the contrary, stable sources of municipal budgets have become a value added tax, property tax and local taxes. Both municipalities have in times of economic crisis created sufficient financial resources and were able to easily pay their obligations. None of the municipalities is more indebted and their debt service gradually declined.

Kadlecová, Lucie ; Mirvald, Michal (advisor) ; Babin, Jan (referee)
This paper aims answer the question what is the revenue--maximizing rate of corporate income tax. Before analysis the literature of Laffer curve criticism and conversly literature of Laffer curve applications is summarized. In paper the relationship of tax rates and tax revenues is examined for Czech republic in time period from 1993 to 2009 and for Ireland in time period from 1981 to 2009 by regression analysis. Analysis showed the relationship described by Laffer theory. Revenue--maximizing tax rates reach values of 27,66% for Czech Republic and 25,1% for Ireland. Because the current statutory corporate tax rates are in both countries lower than calculated Laffer points, further reduction in tax rates will result in decline in tax revenues.

Bušovská, Monika ; Láchová, Lenka (advisor) ; Dugová, Alena (referee)
The aim of this work is the analysis of anti-crisis measures in taxation in the European Union and their impact on the tax burden for the following years. The work is focused on all twenty-seven European members' states and for better illustration were chosen four member states, namely France, Germany, Spain and Romania. At the work are used the latest data available and practical examples are given too. For determination of tax systems before the crisis in selected countries are used descriptive methods, analysis of anti-crisis measures in fiscal policy and an analysis of changes in taxations for the years 2009 and 2010 and their comparison with the year 2008 followed with the focusing on changes in the tax burden. The result of description of tax systems for 2008 is the claim that relatively high tax burden is in analyzed countries except in Romania.The reaction to negative changes in the economy, financial crisis caused, were changes in the tax systems in most of European Union countries especially in modification in tax bases and tax rates. These changes have led to reductions of tax burden in the EU. This trend is expected for next years too, but it is expected the lack of tax revenues will be replaced mainly by raising indirect taxes.

Bayer, Ondřej ; Vítek, Leoš (advisor) ; Pavel, Jan (referee)
This work is aimed on measurement and forecasting of tax revenues. The target is to explain issue of tax revenues measurement by other ways and after that to create forecasting models of tax revenues since 2001 to 2011. For achieving this target is used literature and economethric modeling methodology. At first is analyzed difference between acrual and cash methods of tax revenue's measurement from the view of different methodologies. After that econometric models are created for each of the choosen tax revenues. These models are analyzed for the quality of forecasting. From the results is clear, that tax revenues have a part, which could be described by macroeconomic variables. But these models reveals, that part of the tax revenue could be described by autonomous or random component. Models themselves could be affected by failure of elemental econometrics assumptions.
