Burešová, Lucie ; Finardi, Savina (advisor) ; Tecl, Jan (referee)
The thesis deals with international cooperation in the fight against tax evasion in the field of direct taxation at the level of OECD and EU. First, the thesis explains why international tax evasion occurs, what the most common forms of tax evasion are and also how multinational companies use international, sometimes even aggressive, tax planning to reduce the tax burden. The next section specifies diverse measures already adopted within the OECD and the EU and also those that are still in preparation. Any action taken at the international level is put into context with what the Czech Republic has already introduced. Mutual exchange of information between countries is one of the most important tools in the fight against tax evasion. That is why an analysis of spontaneous exchange of information and on request between CZ and other cooperating countries was carried out in the last part of the thesis. The analysis was carried out on the basis of publicly available data from Annual Reports of Financial Administration of the Czech Republic and also on the basis of data which were received from the Department of international tax cooperation - direct taxes of General Financial Directorate.

These days, companies and individuals often look for opportunities that will bring them lower liability of paying taxes. Every year, there is a higher number of companies interested in tax havens. By setting up an offshore company in one of the tax havens, it is possible to reach lower corporate income tax rates, as most of the tax havens provide international companies with lower or zero rates on income taxes. However, low income taxes are not the only indicator that should convince companies to establish themselves in these countries. It is important to take additional costs into account. The objective of this thesis is to provide a primary overview of tax havens, their purpose, specifics of their usage and to find out under which circumstances they can be beneficial. With the help of a fictional company established in the Czech Republic, calculations of tax liability in various havens will be presented. Measured countries are Luxembourg, Cyprus, British Virgin Islands, Seychelles and Bermuda. On the basis of final calculations, conditions suited for offshore company establishment will be suggested.

The impact of the tax havens on the public finance of Slovakia
Pištejová, Jana ; Janíčko, Martin (advisor) ; Mičúch, Marek (referee)
International tax planning deals with the tax benefits, their seeking and using by the tax entities and corporations. Even if the tax havens are generally considered as small islands, the different types of tax advantages are offered by the developed countries of the North America or Europe. This paper focuses on the analysis of the inward of foreign direct investments into the European countries with the preferential tax regimes. It explains the relationship between the inward of the investments and the factors which affect them. The inward of the foreign direct investments is the dependent variable, the independent variables are tax rates on corporate income, unemployment, as well as political stability. Although results of econometric analysis did not confirm our initial hypothesis that the lower tax burden will increase the inward of the investments to the country, this increase can be caused under the other circumstances, such as secrecy, property protection, stable political situation or simplicity and utility of the financial markets.
