Abstract:
As an important issue in the fiscal structure of a country, tax gap is defined as the difference between tax burden that the taxpayer should face and the amount actually paid. In this study, tax gap was evaluated by the framework of the Value Added Tax. The reason behind this choice, i.e. Value Added Tax Gap (VAT Gap) is to make an effort to evaluate the efficiency of the tax administration, the compliance of the taxpayers and the relationship between policy gap and the compliance gap. With this aim, VAT Gap and the various methods to calculate this gap were examined. Furthermore, based on the reports by the European Commission, VAT Gap in Turkey for 1993-2014 period were estimated and evaluated by employing the top-down method.

Abstract:
A value added tax (VAT) is a tax not on the total value of the commodity being sold, but on the value added by the last trader. Developing countries are engaging in the study of VAT more seriously as it is the source of tax revenue which has high tax potential yield among the existing tax systems. In this situation, this paper intended to assess practices of VAT and VAT administration as well as its contribution on GDP in Nepalese context. More so, the study collected secondary data which are analyzed based on descriptive/comparative methods. The study found that, sales tax has been replaced by VAT since 1997 in Nepal. Before that sales tax played a vital role to collect revenue and resources mobilization. Department of VAT and its field offices were/are responsible for administering VAT functions that was/is not yet attractive and efficient. However, data shows that collecting VAT is in increasing order. In Fiscal Year 2014/15 it came to NRs. 11516 crore which was 5.42 percent of GDP, 29.60 percent of total revenue and 48.14 percent of indirect tax revenue. And the contribution of VAT as percent of GDP remained at average of 4.04 percent during the study period (2002/2003 to 2014/2015).

Abstract:
The value added tax (VAT) prediction is one of the essential tools to form the Russian Federation federal budget. Presently, there are various methods and tools to forecast taxes, including VAT. This research proposes to enhance the estimation of VAT inflow into the federal budget singling out certain formation factors in the GDP structure. The dynamics of the federal budget income in the period 2010-2019 has been examined. It has been stated that VAT refers to non-oil and gas revenues, while the structural analysis of this tax enables to single out domestic production VAT and import related VAT. This tax sum division has become a basis for building federal budget VAT income forecasting models. The primary model takes into account the GDP dynamics in the given period, as well as the GDP to federal budget incomes ratio and their main elements. To develop a more accurate VAT forecasting model the above mentioned tax has been divided into two components - imports VAT and domestic consumption VAT. The imports VAT evaluation is done via the share of projected imports, which in its turn is calculated by the marginal propensity to imports. The domestic consumption VAT is done via the GDP share previously stripped off the import value. During research the excellences and faults of each model have been highlighted. The conclusion about the expediency of models based on separating imports VAT and domestic consumption VAT application for VAT forecasting has been made.

Abstract:
Value Added Tax (VAT) system started to implement only in the year 2018 in Gulf Corporation Councils countries. The main purpose of this study is to understand to a great extent the determinants of VAT in Oman by using a qualitative approach. The research survey has used purposive sampling techniques to select a group of individual accountants who are working in a small and medium sized business. The study has considered respondents’ basic knowledge in accounting and experience by adopting a qualitative approach and selected 26 respondents as sample size involving semi-structured interviews. The findings suggested that there is a positive impact on determinants of VAT (VAT law, VAT awareness, and VAT impacts) with the implementation of VAT in Oman. The study highlights the broad scope of VAT in Oman specially to remove VAT ambiguity among citizens. The study identified not only citizens believes on VAT but also each set of interviewees’ responses can be understood in different ways. The paper provides a path for strategic insights and practical thinking by software providers, accountants, managers, governments, and the general public. The study has shown that the majority of the respondents did not exactly know about the overall scope of VAT, intra sales and purchase between countries, input tax, output tax, and zero tax. Determinants of VAT law, VAT awareness and VAT impacts are not well understood, especially by micro, small and medium enterprises. But the majority of the respondents were ready to accept and agree that VAT impacts Oman’s GDP significantly.

Abstract:
This paper focuses on Value Added Tax (VAT), due to the importance of indirect taxes as one of the most vital tax revenue generators in the EU. VAT is more stable and contributes more to the tax mix than direct taxes. However, the VAT gap is still a serious problem for the national governments, as it reduces the overall tax revenue. Tax authorities are looking for more opportunities to reduce the information asymmetries between them and the taxation subjects. Due to that, collection and analysis of big data seems to be an excellent opportunity to do so in the Slovak Republic as well. One of the biggest sources of big data in VAT in Europe and the world is formed by the so-called “real-time reporting” and electronic filing, since electronic filing is mandatory in the majority of EU countries nowadays. However, policy makers should bear in mind that the mere collection of data is not enough (Bal, 2014). The main subject of this paper is to find, analyse and take into account the most important measures of VAT in the context of digitalisation. In addition, this paper focuses on new trends and challenges for VAT in the Slovak Republic, which may follow the trends within the world.

Abstract:
Value added tax (VAT) has been the most essential choice as an ingredient of tax reforms of developing countries like Nepal, which leads to revenue enhancement and sustainable economic development. As VAT was a new concept in Nepal, a comprehensive taxpayer education program was launched to impart knowledge regarding the various aspects of VAT to parliamentarians, industrialists, businesspersons, consumers as well as various sections of the society. The study used descriptive and survey research design. Data were collected through questionnaires. Statistical tools were used to make a proper analysis. It is found that more than 88 percent of respondents are aware enough to ask tax invoice after purchasing goods or services. Most of them ask for tax invoice to get the authenticity of sellers. VAT must be successful and this largely depends upon the public awareness, honesty, faith and morality of tax officials and the business community. There is a need for willpower and action. It is also found that taxpayers’ awareness programme and tax education play prime role to increase the VAT revenue in Nepal.

Abstract:
The introduction of the value-added tax (VAT) to replace the sales tax in 1995 was one of the key policy steps undertaken by the government of Ghana (GoG) to further deepen and sustain the efficiency of Ghana’s tax system to boost tax revenue. This study uses quarterly data from 2000 to 2014 and employs dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) and Divisia Index approaches to examine the growth of Ghana’s VAT revenues and how this growth is affected by discretionary tax measures. On the whole, the study finds that all of the measures of VAT revenue (total VAT, domestic VAT, and import VAT) have experienced some growth. Growth in total VAT and import VAT is driven strongly by growth in the base, while that of the domestic VAT is driven by both discretionary tax measures and the tax base. Discretionary tax measures are found to have a depressive effect on both total VAT and import VAT revenue growth.

Abstract:
The paper analyzes the Zimbabwean VAT system. The main objective was to establish and evaluate the gaps within the Zimbabwean VAT system, with the view of closing them so that the Zimbabwean VAT is attuned to the dictates of the best practice VAT. A review of literature was used and the main sources of information were the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority, the South African Revenue Services, literature from various journal articles and books and various reports and legislative instruments. The key finding of the study was that the Zimbabwean VAT system falls short of both the South African and best practice VATs. The main reasons for the gap are; a narrow VAT base fuelled by rampant VAT zero-rates and exemptions; it defies the destination principle; it does not conform to the principle of tax neutrality and tax simplicity; and it has high costs of collection and compliance. The study recommends that the Zimbabwean VAT system should be aligned to the best practice VAT through streamlining VAT privileges and correctly implementing the destination principle. Adequate funding should be allocated to the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority in order to embrace the Information Communication Technology (ICT) drive to reduce costs of compliance and collection.

Abstract:
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a tax that is collected and imposed on the delivery of Taxable Goods (BKP) and Taxable Services (JKP). VAT is collected using a tax invoice and a Tax Payment Slip (SSP). Purchases of Taxable Goods are subject to VAT and PKP partners will prepare and submit tax and SSP invoices to the treasurer for the expenditure unit of the Central Office for the Cidanau, Ciujung, and Cidurian River Regions. This study aims to determine the mechanism for collecting and reporting VAT and to find out the obstacles encountered when collecting and reporting VAT at the Work Unit of the Central Office for the Cidanau, Ciujung and Cidurian River Regions. The method used in this research is descriptive with an inductive approach and data collection techniques using observation, interviews and documentation. The results of this study are that the Value Added Tax (VAT) Reporting mechanism carried out by the Expenditure Treasurer at the Work Unit of the Balai Besar for the Cidanau, Ciujung, and Cidurian River Regions is appropriate.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the collection of value added tax in Slovakia since its independence in 1993. The main idea is to compare the collection of VAT at the current moment with the selection in the past, because during last couple of years there has been a significant increase in this area. The origin of the increase can be found in changes in legislation as well as introduction of new action plan which should make VAT collection more effective and clear. I will start with an overview of the tax and continue with historical evolution of the tax in the country. In fist part I will present the changes and tools, which came up recently and may stand behind the improvement. In the other part I will compare the collection of the tax in the past and nowadays. I will also evaluate the domestic values with values of other EU countries and look closer on the level of harmonization of the tax in Slovakia and the rest of European Union.

Abstract:
In this paper I try to find if the Chinese recent Business Tax to Value-Added Tax Reform (the B2V Reform), which requires companies to adopt value-added tax instead of business tax, has caused the firms to invest more and hire more. I analyze the firms listed in the Shanghai Stock Exchange 50 Index. The results of the analysis show that adopting the new tax method is positively correlated to the increase of capital expenditure and the increase of employees and the effects differ in financial and non- financial firms. Non-financial firms tend to be more influenced by the policy change because they rely on more fixed asset and labor to operate. This study could inform policymakers from governments and corporations about how a VAT system could potentially affect corporate behaviors and operation.

Abstract:
Electronic commerce (e-commerce) is experiencing exponential growth which is rapidly transforming the traditional approach to international trade. The regulation and facilitation of the rising levels of e-commerce derived digital goods is undoubtedly a challenge for revenue administrations and customs administrations alike. However, it also presents opportunities for higher levels of revenue collection through increased economic activity and, as such, should be supported by e-commerce enabling legislation. Further consideration is required to ascertain whether the current legislation regulating the taxation of e-commerce will suffice, or if further amendments are required to provide for the necessary changes to enhance the tax base to be reflective of the drastic changes in the economy. For SARS better regulation and facilitation of cross-border e-commerce transactions can provide the opportunity to generate additional revenue for Government and enhance economic growth. This can only be achieved by creating an environment whereby an appropriate level of consumer trust is established. To this effect South Africa does have laws addressing key regulatory issues regarding trade in e-commerce. What remains is for SARS to determine the desired extent of levying consumption taxes on cross-border digital goods. Once it has been established, the application thereof must be aligned to guiding international tax principles to further embed the taxation of cross-border trade in digital goods in South Africa by way of continuous regulatory certainty.

Abstract:
The general mindset of most vendors is that if they have a valid tax invoice, they can claim all their input VAT. They are, however, not aware of the requirements of section 17(1) of the Value-Added Tax Act. Section 17(1) explains that vendors cannot claim all their input tax if their expense relates to both taxable and non-taxable supplies and that, consequently, input tax need to be apportioned in some or other way. There are several methods of apportionment available to vendors of which the turnover-based method is the only approved method by the South African Revenue Service (SARS) for which no ruling is necessary. This study investigates the most common methods used by vendors, how these methods function and also under which circumstances these methods are recommended. The sectors that are influenced the most by this provision in the Value-Added Tax Act are banks, universities and municipalities. These sectors have large amounts of exempt supplies but also taxable supplies with expenses incurred that cannot be allocated specifically to a certain income. Therefore, a method of apportionment should be used to allocate the input VAT. Information was obtained through financial reports and questionnaires from 29 entities in South Africa. The information was used to calculate an average percentage of apportionment in each sector and also to establish which method of apportionment is the most commonly used method of apportionment in each sector. The conclusion was drawn that there might, under certain circumstances, be uncertainty on whether some income should be included or excluded in the apportionment calculation. Under these circumstances, it is recommended that a ruling should be obtained from SARS to avoid problems in the future. Copyright

Abstract:
This article analyzes the definitions of the main taxable events for the Value-Added Tax (VAT) based on a comparative approach to thelegislation of different countries (Spain, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Argentina and Peru). In this regard, it analyzes which legislations offer definitions according to the principles of generality, fiscal neutrality and legal certainty for VAT. Moreover, it points out that the VAT systems of those countries do not require as a condition for the configuration of the taxable events that the transactions involve a «value added» or a final consumption. In the specificcase of «supplies of goods», the VAT systems have a similar definition of the taxable event, although there are a few differences. However, in the case of«supplies of services», which is the most important taxable event for VAT, there are important differences at the time each country defines it. This is not a desirable effect for the international trade of services, since the lack of harmonization produces double taxation or double non taxation.
El trabajo aborda la definición de los hechos gravados principalesen el Impuesto al Valor Agregado (IVA) en el derecho comparado (España, México, Chile, Colombia, Argentina y Perú), evaluando qué legislaciones proponen una definición conforme a los principios de generalidad, deneutralidad y de seguridad jurídica. Destaca que ninguna de las legislaciones exige como condición para la configuración de los hechos gravados que setrate de transacciones que generen «valor agregado» o que se trate de bienes o servicios susceptibles de consumo final. En el caso de la venta de bienes muebles, hay coincidencia en la definición del hecho gravado, aunque con matices de diferencia. En cambio, en la definición de servicios, que es la hipótesis más importante del impuesto, hay grandes diferencias entre las legislaciones. Ello definitivamente no es deseable, considerando el comercio internacional de servicios, por cuanto la falta de armonización produce fenómenos de doble imposición y doble no imposición.

Abstract:
Interactive gambling transactions take place over the internet, which is essentially a borderless environment. Typically, interactive gambling providers are located off-shore in tax-friendly destinations in order to maximise their profits. In the context of cross-border transactions, value-added tax (VAT) place of supply rules provide certainty regarding where a supply is deemed to take place in order to determine the correct treatment for VAT purposes. In contrast to a number of other countries, South Africa has limited place of supply rules. This creates uncertainty regarding where the activities of a non-resident supplier is deemed to take place. The absence of detailed place of supply rules impacts on the determination of whether the transaction will be liable to VAT in South Africa and also creates uncertainty regarding whether or not a non-resident is liable to register for VAT in South Africa. The main purpose of this study is to critically analyse the South African VAT implications of interactive gambling in the absence of detailed place of supply rules. This objective is achieved by analysing the South African VAT Act in the context of interactive gambling legislation to determine whether it succeeds in providing certainty regarding the place of supply of interactive gambling for purposes of the VAT Act. This analysis highlights the problems associated with the limited place of supply rules in South Africa. This study also critically analyses the legislation in a number of countries with place of supply rules from a South African perspective. The study concludes that the VAT place of supply rules in South Africa are not specific enough to create certainty regarding where the supplies of a non-resident interactive gambling supplier to a South African resident is deemed to take place and consequently whether the supply will be subject to VAT in South Africa. This may result in a failure to bring these transactions within the VAT net. The study further concludes that the place of supply rules in the European Union are in line with the guidelines issued by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) as well as recent South African case law (albeit not specifically related to the place of supply for VAT purposes), which indicates that interactive gambling transactions should be taxed where the consumer is situated. By implementing place of supply rules based on European legislation, through amending the current legislation or by issuing interpretation guidance, the problems associated with the limited place of supply rules in South Africa can be alleviated. This will also ensure that South African providers of interactive gambling services can compete on an equal footing with off-shore providers. AFRIKAANS : Inter-aktiewe dobbel transaksies vind plaas oor die internet, wat in beginsel ‘n grenslose omgewing is. Die verskaffers van inter-aktiewe dobbel dienste is tipies nie-inwoners wat gebaseer is in belastingvriendelike bestemmings om sodoende hulle winste te maksimeer. In die konteks van hierdie oorgrens transaksies, verskaf plek van lewering reëls duidelikheid oor waar lewering geag word plaas te vind om sodoende die korrekte behandeling in terme van belasting op toegevoegde waarde (BTW) vas te stel. Anders is in verskeie ander lande, het Suid-Afrika beperkte plek van lewering reëls. Dit veroorsaak onduidelikheid oor waar die aktiwiteite van ‘n nie-inwoner geag word plaas te vind. Die afwesigheid van gedetailleerde plek van lewering reels gee ook aanleiding tot onsekerheid oor of die transaksies van die nie-inwoner onderworpe sal wees aan BTW in Suid-Afrika, asook oor die verpligting van die nie-inwoner om in Suid-Afrika vir BTW te registreer. Hierdie studie het ten doel om die Suid-Afrikaanse BTW gevolge van inter-aktiewe dobbel in die afwesigheid van plek van lewering reëls krities te analiseer. Dit word bereik deur die BTW-wet in die konteks van inter-aktiewe dobbel te ontleed om sodoende vas te stel of die BTW-wet daarin slaag om duidelikheid te verskaf oor die plek van lewering van oorgrens inter-aktiewe dobbel transaksies. Hierdie analise bring die probleme wat gepaard gaan met die beperkte plek van lewering reels in Suid-Afrika na vore. Die studie kom tot die slotsom dat die huidige BTW plek van lewering reels in Suid-Afrika nie spesifiek genoeg is om duidelikheid te verskaf oor waar ‘n nie-inwoner se lewering van inter-aktiewe dobbel dienste aan ‘n Suid-Afrikaanse inwoner geag word plaas te vind nie. Gevolglik is daar onduidelikheid oor of hierdie transaksies onderworpe sal wees aan BTW in Suid-Afrika. Dit mag tot gevolg hê dat hierdie transaksies moontlik die Suid-Afrikaanse BTW-net ontglip. Die studie kom verder tot die gevolgtrekking dat die plek van lewering reëls wat in die Europese Unie toegepas word, bepaal dat inter-aktiewe dobbel transaksies vir BTW doeleindes belasbaar is waar die klient geleë is. Dit is in ooreenstemming met die riglyne van die OECD, sowel as onlangse Suid-Afrikaanse regspraak (alhoewel die betrokke hofsaak nie spesifiek die plek van lewering vir BTW doeleindes aangespreek het nie). Deur soortgelyke plek van lewering reëls in Suid-Afrika te implementeer kan die probleme wat met die beperkte plek van lewering reëls gepaard gaan, verminder word. Dit kan vermag word deur bestaande wetgewing te wysig of deur interpretasie riglyne deur die Suid-Afrikaanse Inkomstediens uit te reik. Die implementering van plek van lewering reëls sal ook verseker dat Suid-Afrikaanse verskaffers van inter-aktiewe dobbel dienste op ‘n gelyke voet met nie-inwoners kan kompeteer.

Abstract:
Residential property developers face an ever-increasing problem of disposing of their newly built residential premises. The problem exists because of an oversupply of residential property and a decrease in property sales over the past few years. The VAT consequences of such a change in use of a property could have catastrophic implications for the property developer in terms of cashflow. In the 2010 budget speech, the Minister of Finance of South Africa acknowledged that harsh VAT legislation exists. The aim of this study is to determine a way of amending South African VAT legislation to accommodate property developers during the period when residential properties are temporarily let out. It was concluded that South Africa’s current VAT legislation with regard to change in use of residential properties is far worse than that of New Zealand and Australia, but that the proposed amendments will offer some degree of relief. The situation, even after implementing the amendments to legislation, will still not give sufficient relief and another solution is put forward for consideration.
Residensiële eiendomsontwikkelaars staar toenemende probleme met die verkoop van hulle nuutgeboude residensiële eiendomme in die gesig. Die probleem het ontstaan weens die toenemende beskikbaarheid van residensiële eiendomme in die mark, sowel as die afname in die eiendomsmark die afgelope paar jaar. Die BTW-gevolge van sodanige verandering in gebruik van ʼn eiendom mag katastrofiese gevolge vir die eiendomsontwikkelaar inhou wat betref kontantvloei. In die 2010-begrotingsrede het die Minister van Finansies van Suid-Afrika erken dat problematiese BTW wetgewing bestaan. Die doel van hierdie studie in om te bepaal in watter mate die Suid-Afrikaanse BTW-wetgewing verander kan word ten einde eiendomsontwikkelaars te akkommodeer gedurende die periode waarin hulle eiendomme tydelik uitverhuur word. Daar is gevolglik vasgestel dat Suid-Afrika se BTW-wetgewing met betrekking tot die verandering in gebruik deur eiendomsontwikkelaars erger is as die wetgewing in Nieu-Seeland en Australië, maar dat die voorgestelde wetswysigings ietwat van ʼn verligting sal bied. Die situasie, selfs ná die implementering van die wetswysigings, sal steeds nie voldoende verligting bied nie en ʼn ander oplossing word voorgestel.

Abstract:
In addition to the standard method of taxation, the Value Added Tax Act regulates two specific methods introduced in order to reduce VAT fraud – the regime of transferred tax liability (reverse charge) and the so-called special method of securing of the tax. In the following text, the specifics of the value added tax administration depending on the statutory (or voluntarily chosen) method of taxation and the related effects on the collection of public budgets will be pointed out. An integral part is pointing out the effects of the chosen method of taxation on tax subjects, either on the part of the supplier or on the part of the customer.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter examines the complex relationship between social enterprises and taxation. The focus is not on a specific country, although various examples are mentioned. As specific tax measures for social enterprises are a form of tax incentives, the chapter discusses this public finance concept. In addition, an important legal constraint on introducing such incentives for social enterprises in the European Union (EU) is discussed: the prohibition of state aid. From an analysis of the taxation of profits of social enterprises, it turns out that only a few countries have implemented tax incentives to further social enterprise models. Some social enterprises may meet the charity definition and thus benefit from tax incentives for charities. The drawback might be that it may require social enterprises to use next best legal forms. The chapter also discusses the relevant tax aspects for funders of social enterprises. Tax rules can especially be detrimental to the funding of high-risk social enterprises. Social enterprises also encounter value-added tax (VAT) issues. The VAT that applies in the EU has been copied (with variations) by many non-EU Member States. For that reason, this chapter focusses on the EU VAT legislation as included in the VAT. Problems emerging from the impossibility to deduct input VAT can best be solved outside the VAT framework.

Abstract:
Value-added taxes (VAT) are applied in the European Union (EU) Member States in accordance with Directive 2006/112/EC to limit distortions in competition in the common European market. Latvia is one of the five EU Member States where reduced VAT rates are not applied to food products, and the food is taxed at the standard rate of 21%. For this reason, food producer organisations discuss the introduction of a reduced VAT rate for selected fruits, berries, vegetables as well as potato grown in Latvia. The overall aim of the present research is to assess the effect of reduction of the VAT rate from 21 to 5% for selected food groups: fresh fruits, berries, vegetables and potato produced in Latvia. The research estimated a decrease in the price for the mentioned food groups, identified a potential increase in consumption and forecasted the effect of the VAT rate reduction on the amount of tax revenue collected by the central government. The research found that the reduction of the VAT rate from 21 to 5 % would result in a price decrease ranging from 1.9 to 3.5% for fruits, berries, vegetables and potato, the consumption of fresh fruits and berries would increase, on average, in the range of 1.2–2.3%, while the consumption of fresh vegetables would increase, on average, in the range of 1.2–2.1%, yet in a short-term the tax revenue paid to the government would decrease in the range of EUR 3.9–5.7 million. Nevertheless, in a medium-term, a significant positive effect on the producers of fruits, berries, vegetables and potato that operate legally in the agricultural industry could be expected, as the negative effect of the shadow economy decreases.

Abstract:
The presented contribution focuses on describing the Value Added Tax refund to foreign tourists, specifically the Tax-Free Shopping incentive, that increases tourists’ propensity to buy retail goods where shopping can even sometimes be the primary reason for traveling. To have a practical analysis and comparison, four economies from South America were chosen. Colombia and Ecuador whose tax-refund system is entirely operated by the State and Argentina and Uruguay whose governments have decided to outsource their VAT refund service to tourists having private companies operate them. Adding to this, an evaluation of the main characteristics of these countries regarding the competitiveness of their tourism sector was gathered with data obtained from the Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI) Report (2019). The findings of this research provide a benchmark to tourism policymakers interested in assessing changes overtime on this type of incentive.

Full text
Abstract:
Value added tax is a key tax for generating revenue in Zimbabwe and all African states, and for financing the budget in African countries. VAT revenue has an essential role in budgetary policymaking. Every year revenue authorities are not collecting large amounts of VAT for various reasons, including ineffective administration and tax evasion. This brings the question of the reform of the VAT system to the forefront. In Zimbabwe, attempts to improve VAT revenue collection have been made over several years. Hopes were pinned on the use of fiscalisation and audits of VAT refunds.1 However, traders continue to evade VAT – and this has led to the introduction of value added withholding tax to improve VAT revenue collection.

Full text
Abstract:
The value added tax (VAT) is supposed to be a tax on consumption that achieves greater economic efficiency than alternative indirect taxes. It is also meant to facilitate enforcement through the ‘self-enforcing mechanism’ – based on opposed incentives for buyers and sellers, and because of the paper trail it creates. Being a rather sophisticated tax, however, the VAT is complex to administer and costly to comply with, especially in lower-income countries. This paper takes a closer look at how the VAT system functions in practice in Rwanda. Using a mixed-methods approach, which combines qualitative information from focus group discussions with the analysis of administrative and survey data, we document and explain a number of surprising inconsistencies in the filing behaviour of VAT-remitting firms, which lead to suboptimal usage of electronic billing machines, as well as failure to claim legitimate VAT credits. The consequence of these inconsistencies is twofold. It makes it difficult for the Rwanda Revenue Authority to exploit its VAT data to the fullest, and leads to firms, particularly smaller ones, bearing a higher VAT burden than larger ones. There are several explanations for these inconsistencies. They appear to lie in a combination of taxpayer confusion, fear of audit, and constraints in administrative capacity.

Full text
Abstract:
Scholars have long struggled to understand why individual preferences for redistribution often diverge widely from their material self-interest. The puzzle is acute in Latin America, largely democratic and yet one of the most unequal regions in the world. Using an original online survey experiment spanning 8 countries and 12,000 respondents across Latin America, we find significant evidence for an under-explored explanation: misconceptions regarding the distributional effects of current tax policy. Treated respondents who are informed that an increase in the value-added tax (VAT) is regressive are significantly more likely to prefer policy reforms that make the tax more progressive. We are further able to identify mechanisms. A large fraction of respondents underestimate the regressivity of the VAT. Their misperceptions are linked to fundamental views about the world: these respondents are disproportionately right-leaning and more likely to attribute success to individual effort than luck. Despite the deep-rooted nature of their misperceptions, treatment effects are largest among individuals who believe the VAT is not regressive. These findings contribute both to understanding the political economy of redistribution and the potential for information interventions to shift support for fiscal adjustment policies protecting the most vulnerable.

Edeh, Henry C. Assessing the Equity and Redistributive Effects of Taxation Reforms in Nigeria. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), November 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/ictd.2021.020.

Full text
Abstract:
Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of poverty and inequality reduction through redistribution have indeed become critical concerns in many low- and middle-income countries, including Nigeria. Although redistribution results from the effect of tax revenue collections, micro household-level empirical analyses of the distributional effect of personal income tax (PIT) and value added tax (VAT) reforms in Nigeria have been scarcely carried out. This study for the first time quantitatively assessed both the equity and redistributive effects of PIT and VAT across different reform scenarios in Nigeria. Data used in this study was mainly drawn from the most recent large scale nationally representative Nigeria Living Standard Survey, conducted in 2018/2019. The Kakwani Index was used to calculate and compare the progressivity of PIT and VAT reforms. A simple static micro-simulation model was employed in assessing the redistributive effect of PIT and VAT reforms in the country. After informality has been accounted for, the PIT was found to be progressive in the pre- 2011 tax scheme, but turned regressive in the post-2011 tax scheme. It was also discovered that the newly introduced lump sum relief allowance in the post-2011 PIT scheme accrues more to the high-income than to the low-income taxpayers – confirming the regressivity of the current PIT scheme. However, the study further shows (through counterfactual simulations) that excluding the relatively high-income taxpayers from sharing in the variable part of the lump sum relief allowance makes PIT progressive in the post-2011 scheme. The VAT was uncovered to be regressive both in the pre-2020 scheme, and in the current VAT reform scheme. Further, after putting informality into consideration, the PIT was found to marginally reduce inequality but increase poverty in the pre-2011 scheme. The post-2011 PIT scheme reduced inequality and increased poverty, but by a smaller proportion – confirming a limited redistribution mainly resulting from the concentration of the lump sum relief allowance at the top of the distribution. However, if the variable part of the lump sum relief allowance is provided for ‘only’ the low-income taxpayers below a predefined income threshold, the post-2011 PIT scheme becomes largely redistributive. VAT was uncovered to marginally increase inequality and poverty in the pre-2020 scheme. Though the current VAT scheme slightly increased inequality, it considerably increased poverty in the country. It is therefore suggested that a better tax reform, with well-regulated relief allowance and differentiated VAT rates, will help to enhance the equity and redistribution capacity of the Nigeria tax system.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper uses administrative data from Value Added Tax (VAT) returns to provide insights on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Rwanda. We show that the lockdown in Rwanda had a severe impact on the domestic economy, despite relatively low case numbers. However, the economy quickly rebounded after restrictions were lifted, with overall sales losses amounting to 5 per cent of GDP. Although in absolute terms, these losses are concentrated amongst the largest firms, in proportional terms, small firms have been worse affected. We also show that firms providing accommodation, food and transport services, as well as those based in the capital, have been particularly affected by the crisis. Overall, the decline in economic activity translates to a 5.1 per cent loss in VAT revenue for the government. Our results offer policy-makers evidence on the real impact of the crisis, both in aggregate terms and disaggregated by firm size, sector, and location. In a literature that has largely focused on higher-income countries, these results complement projections to inform appropriate policy responses in the specific context of low-income countries.
