Excise Duties and Energy Taxes in the Czech Republic and other member states of the European Union
PEČENKOVÁ, Miroslava
The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to use selected indicators to determine differences between the Member States of the European Union (with emphasis on the Czech Republic) in the application of excise and energy taxes in the defined period 2001-2019. The thesis is divided into two parts, the theoretical and practical part. The practical part first describes the indicators related to the examined taxes. This is followed by cluster analysis. The results of this method made it possible to determine which countries showed similar values in the studied years and which did not. Groups of countries with similar values of monitored indicators in the observed period 2001-2019 are summarized at the end of the work. Based on these results, it is possible to point out whether there was a convergence of states in this period, or the harmonization process of excise and energy taxes.

Microeconomic Analysis for Evidence-Based Policy
Janský, Petr ; Bauer, Michal (advisor) ; Blundell, Richard (referee) ; Galuščák, Kamil (referee) ; Schneider, Ondřej (referee)
This dissertation thesis is focused on the microeconomic analysis of public policy in the Czech Republic. It consists of three parts, the first two parts deal with the analysis of tax policy; the third part of this thesis is focused on inflation differentials. The first chapter deals with the analysis of value added tax. The rates of value added tax (VAT) have recently changed in the Czech Republic, and I simulate the impact of these reforms. They are an example of changes in indirect taxes that change the prices of goods and services, to which households can respond by adjusting their expenditures. I first estimate the behavioural response of consumers to price changes in the Czech Republic by applying a consumer demand model of the quadratic almost ideal system (QUAIDS) on the basis of the Czech Statistical Office household expenditure and price data for the period from 2001 to 2011. I derive estimates of own- and cross-price and income elasticities for individual households. I then use these elasticities to estimate the impact of the changes in VAT rates that were proposed or implemented between 2011 and 2013, on households' quantity demanded and government revenues. One of the main findings is that the estimated increases in government revenues that take the consumer responses into account are...

Changes in consumption taxes in EU Member States in connection with the harmonization process
PLACHÁ, Denisa
This thesis deals with the consumption taxes changes in the Member States of EU in relation with the harmonization process. Its goal is to find out via chosen indicators, whether the influence of the harmonization processes in an area of value added taxes and excise duty, brings Member States of EU closer in an area of consumption taxation. As the main method of data processing is used the cluster analysis for which three indicators of tax burden are selected. Via analysis the cluster processes are used in selected years 2000 and 2017. All Member States are included with the exception of Croatia and that is because absence of the data. The data that are used in the cluster analysis are extracted from the Eurostat and from the database of European Commission. The states are divided according to the similarity of taxation into particular clusters. The results are presented in a form of graphical outputs the so called dendrograms. The conclusion is comparison of researched years according to the harmonization process. According to the cluster analysis results gained via selected consumption tax indicators, there is no converge occurring in 2000 to 2017 between original EU-15 states and the new Member States which have joined EU in 2004 or later.

Development of indicators on excise taxes in EU countries
UHLÍŘOVÁ, Kateřina
The objective of the thesis is to investigate the development of excise taxes indicators in twenty-seven member states of the European Union (without Croatia due to the absence of data). The selected period for the analysis is the year 2004 - 2016. The main aim of the thesis is to define the groups of member states EU according to their importance and similarity with respect to the excise duties. With this aim is related the another important idea of the work. That is whether the indicators of excise duties are brought closer to the harmonization processes and if are the member states converging. The cluster analysis was used to achieve the main goal of the work. The data which is used in this analysis is obtained from Eurostat and European Commission databases. The results of cluster analyzes allow the member states to be divided into four of the most stable groups. The group of Nordic countries in Europe, group of border states, states of NMS-12 able to approach the EU-15 and other states of NMS-12. The cluster analyzes also shows that the original and new member states, that joined the EU in 2004 and later, are still different in the field of excise duties. Differences that exist despite the strict harmonization of individual tax systems, in particular the harmonization of excise rates, may be caused, in particular, to the historical roots of individual countries, but also by the economic and political situation.

Economic and legal aspects of excise taxes in the EU
NECID, Martin
This diploma thesis deals with the economic and legal aspects of excise taxes in the EU. Excise taxes are among indirect taxes and can be divided into three basic groups: alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, and energy products and electricity. For individual commo-dities, EU Member States are harmonizing their legislation and minimum rates in order to prevent cross-border distortions of competition between EU countries. Part of the diploma thesis will be the analysis of the current situation in the field of excise taxes in the EU, the comparison of the individual commodities subject to these taxes.

Krudenc, Antonín ; Morávková, Jana (advisor) ; Kubátová, Květa (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with Czech and Sweden tax systems. The aim of the thesis is to compare and analyze these different tax systems, to identify and compare tax burden on excise duty and to compare taxpayers views on tax rates and the complexity of the tax system. The thesis is divided into three chapters. The first chapter deals with the tax system in the Czech Republic. The second chapter deals with the Swedish tax system. And the last third chapter compares these tax systems. The comparison is mainly from the point of view of the taxpayer's tax burden on excise duties and the views of taxpayers on tax system.
