Taxation of income from employment: Real Impact of Legislative Changes - case study
Marková, Diana ; Kemény, Irena (advisor) ; Hollmannová, Monika (referee)
This paper discusses the development of income tax of employees. The aim of this work is to model the real impact of legislative changes in the Czech Republic on the actual tax burden of employees with different incomes and propose optimal solution of tax calculation. The modelling is based on data containing gross salary, applicable tax allowances and tax reliefs for each employee of concrete production company in 2012. For the other years, the data are modelled from the given set using inflation. For comparison of the actual tax burden I use the effective tax rate, implicit tax rate and net implicit tax rate. The results of the calculations show that the tax deductions and the minimum and maximum base for social and health security contributions have the biggest effect on the tax rate. In the absence of tax deductions, the real tax burden for most employees according to the effective tax rate would have been almost constant over time. In fact, in terms of the effective tax rate the tax burden has declined slightly thanks to an increase in tax deductions. The results also show that the biggest differences in tax burden among employees are due to the (non) application of tax deductions.

Uplatnění paušální daně u příjmů ze samostatné činnosti
Svobodová, Markéta
Svobodová, M. Application of a flat tax on the income from self-employment. Bachelor thesis. Brno: Mendel University, 2023. The bachelor thesis deals with the application of expenditure as a percentage of income and a flat tax on a self-employment income. The theoretical part is devoted to expenditure as a percentage of income, the flat tax regime, tax relief, social and health insurance. The flat tax was introduced in the Czech Republic in 2021 and has undergone certain changes. The thesis introduces model examples of the application of expenditure as a percentage of income and the use of the flat tax. The aim of the thesis is to evaluate the tax and levy burden when using the flat tax and when applying expenditure as a percentage of income. The thesis concludes with a recommendation for a flat tax.

Distributional impacts of meal vouchers
Röhryová, Lenka ; Janský, Petr (advisor) ; Pěkná, Martina (referee)
The thesis aims to analyze distributional impacts of meal voucher sys- tem in the Czech Republic, especially in the context of income inequality between different income groups. In the first part, we study the features of the Czech meal voucher scheme, relevant legislative framework and offer a comparison of the Czech meal voucher system with other European coun- tries. In the second part, we perform an analysis of the redistributive effects of meal allowances on various income deciles, quantify the impact of meal allowances tax exemption on the government budget and simulate replace- ment of current meal allowances by flat meal allowances according to several scenarios. Based on our analysis, the meal allowances tax relief represents burden of 11.3 bn Kč for the state budget. Our findings suggest that current form of meal allowances widens the income gap between beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries, within as well as across the income deciles. The affluent households receive meal allowances more frequently, and moreover, nomin- ally and proportionately higher. We believe a replacement of current meal allowances scheme by one with a flat meal allowances (using the constant budget) would promote income equality. Then, the lower deciles would be- nefit, due to higher share of individuals entitled to the meal...

Exemption from Personal Income Tax as a Factor in Formulating the Rate of Taxation in the EU Countries
Červená, Lucie ; Vančurová, Alena (advisor) ; Doležalová, Ivana (referee)
In my diploma thesis on Exemption from personal income tax as a factor in formulating the rate of taxation in the EU countries are defined terms of tax expenditures and tax exemptions. The main objective of this work is the analysis of income exempted from personal income tax in the Czech Republic and the EU member states, with a focus on revenue social nature. In an analysis of exempted income in the Czech Republic are quantified tax expenditures associated with the exemption of social income of taxpayers. It is a comparative analysis of the exempted social income in EU member states, and I analyze the impact of exemption of social income tax rate of selected types of households with different levels of income.

Tax expenditures in the Czech Republic
Jareš, Martin ; Kubátová, Květa (advisor) ; Vančurová, Alena (referee) ; Sadovský, Zdeněk (referee)
The main objective of the thesis is to analyse tax expenditures in the tax system of the Czech Republic. More specifically to identify tax expenditures in legislation setting down personal income tax, corporate income tax and value added tax in 2008 and quantify their impact to tax revenues. The work starts with the review of the literature in this field. There is a rich academic literature dealing with various aspects of tax expenditure analysis starting with their identifi-cation and quantification and continuing to distributional analysis or analysis of compliance costs. Most if the literature originates in the United States where a substantial amount of pa-pers deals with the critique of official tax expenditure reports or with suggestions how to im-prove it. Similar topics are absent in the literature in other countries. Another source are the official tax expenditure reports published in several countries. The conclusion can be drawn that there are no internationally accepted standards of tax expenditures analysis. Another conclu-sion deals with the term tax expenditure itself. It was conceived in the United States in the 1960's to express that many tax reliefs are in fact direct expenditures hidden in the tax system. However sometimes provisions which are not analogical to direct expenditures are called tax expenditures as well. That's why the term tax expenditure is avoided in this thesis. Instead a more general term tax relief is used. Tax expenditures thus represent a subset of tax reliefs. Tax reliefs are defined as provisions of the tax law which represent lower tax liability or deferral of the tax liability for the tax payer. Tax reliefs are identified by their form, i.e. tax exemptions, reduced rates, tax credits etc. Features which represent an integral part of the tax system (e.g. deduction of input VAT) are not identified as a tax relief. This assures that the full list is created. Then the normative analysis is used to identify main rationale for each tax reliefs, i.e. tax reliefs which have been introduced in order to support other public policies' targets (genuine tax expenditures), tax relief which have been introduced in order to increase tax system effectiveness mainly by reducing the compliance costs and finally tax reliefs which share attribute of both aforementioned group. Based on this, there have been identified 210 tax reliefs (PIT: 119, CIT: 62, VAT: 29). From the point of view of further analysis, the most important part represent the genuine tax expenditures. Methods to quantify the identified tax reliefs were devised based on data avail-able. There was identified 57 tax expenditures out of all 210 tax reliefs with total amount of CZK 120 bn. It is important to bear in mind however that the simple addition of tax reliefs is not methodologically correct since abolition of several tax reliefs has different impact on tax revenues than addition of individually quantified impacts. The main contribution of the thesis consists in setting up a complete list of the tax re-liefs in the tax system of the Czech Republic for the taxes with the highest revenues. This will enable to prepare such an analysis on a regular basis, to include other taxes and to improve the methods used. The stakeholders in the field of public finance policy and tax policy will thus have more information available to design more effective policies. Further research dealing with other aspects of selected tax expenditures such as their distributional impacts can draw from this thesis as well.

The Optimalization of the Application of Deduction of the Tax Loss
Jančová, Lucie ; Slintáková, Barbora (advisor) ; Doležalová, Ivana (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to optimize the application of deduction of tax loss taking into account other tax deductions and tax reliefs. The first two parts are based primarily on Act No. 586/1992 Coll., on income taxes. They define the conditions for the application of the deduction of the tax loss, of the expenses (costs) from tax base by the realization of research and development programs, of the donation and of the tax reliefs. The third and last chapter applies these knowledges at the optimalization of the application of deduction of tax loss. The optimization is performed for two fictitious tax payers of the corporate income tax. The intention is to find the optimal combination of deductions and tax reliefs, when the taxpayer minimizes tax liability after taking into account the possibility of the additional tax assessment as a result of the tax audit. A procedure that reduces the disadvantage of inability to use the tax deduction against an additional increase in tax during the tax audit is set at the end of this thesis.
