Economic debates in Europe and America for many decades by now have been dealing with such problems as optimization of tax systems, eco-balance in taxes and ways to maximize the efficiency of tax reforms. Post-Soviet economists of the 1990s did not have an opportunity to participate in such discussions which would have proven useful since there was an urgent need for adequate theoretical justification of the tax reforms in CIS countries and other former Soviet republics. To fill this gap in research, two economists Igor Mayburov from Russia and Yuriy Ivanov from Ukraine organized the first in the post-Soviet space symposium on taxation in 2009. Since then, the symposium has been regularly held in different cities and attracted leading tax specialists from various countries. Each symposium focuses on a specific theme, selected from the most relevant tax problems faced by post-Soviet countries. The theme of the next symposium is announced 1.5 years in advance. Meanwhile, the participants conduct their studies and prepare monographs. The 11 th International Symposium “Theory and Practice of Tax Reforms” was held on 30 June – 6 July 2019 in Tomsk and was hosted by the Institute of Economics and Management of the National Research Tomsk State University. The symposium was devoted to theoretical and practical aspects of the transformations in taxation and tax administration caused by the digital economy. 95 specialists from 40 universities and 26 cities of six countries (Russia, Belarus, Germany, China, Slovenia and Ukraine) took part in the symposium. The symposium was also supported by 35 universities. The symposium provided a platform for discussion of the most relevant and up-to-date issues of tax reforms, enabling its participants to devise new theoretical and methodological approaches to enhancing tax policies and taxation systems, and, last but not least, to form new research collaborations. The symposium included a plenary session, five panels, a round table, administrative practicum, and presentation of journals in the field of taxation. This article aims to inform the reader about the specific characteristics of this symposium, its results and potential role in the improvement of tax systems of different countries.

几十年来,欧洲和美国的经济辩论一直在讨论税收制度的优化、税收的生态平衡以及如何使税收改革的效率最大化等问题。1990年代后苏联时代的经济学家没有机会参加这种讨论,而这种讨论本可以证明是有用的,因为迫切需要对独联体国家和其他前苏联共和国的税收改革进行充分的理论论证。为了填补这一研究空白,两位来自俄罗斯的经济学家伊戈尔·梅布罗夫和来自乌克兰的尤里·伊万诺夫于2009年组织了第一次后苏联空间税收研讨会。此后,研讨会定期在不同城市举行,吸引了来自各国的顶尖税务专家。每次研讨会都集中讨论一个特定主题,从后苏联国家面临的最相关的税收问题中选出。下一届研讨会的主题提前一年半公布。与此同时,参与者进行研究并准备专著。第11届“税收改革理论与实践”国际研讨会于2019年6月30日至7月6日在托木斯克举行,由托木斯克国立大学国家研究经济与管理研究所主办。研讨会的主题是数字经济带来的税收和税务管理变革的理论和实践方面。来自6个国家(俄罗斯、白俄罗斯、德国、中国、斯洛文尼亚和乌克兰)的40所大学和26个城市的95名专家参加了研讨会。研讨会也得到35所大学的支持。研讨会为讨论最相关和最新的税收改革问题提供了一个平台,使与会者能够设计新的理论和方法方法来加强税收政策和税收制度,最后但并非最不重要的是,形成新的研究合作。专题讨论会包括一次全体会议、五个小组讨论会、一次圆桌会议、行政实习和介绍税务领域的期刊。本文旨在向读者介绍这次研讨会的具体特点,其结果和在改善不同国家税收制度方面的潜在作用。《数字经济中税收的挑战与前景:以后苏联空间为重点讨论案例的“税收改革的理论与实践”研讨会》。税收改革杂志。2019; 5(2): 96 - 106。DOI: 10.15826/jtr.2019.5.2.0622019年8月20日录用

History of local taxation in Germany 德国地方税收的历史
IF 0.4 Pub Date : 2019-05-13 DOI: 10.15826/JTR.2019.5.1.060

The article discusses the history of local taxation in Germany and its current state, focusing on the correspondence of the existing local taxes to the criteria of optimal local taxation. The author’s hypothesis is that the German system of local taxation, which dates back to the imperial period, can and should be reformed in order to meet the internationally recognized criteria. The analysis is based on several criteria: the general criteria, which apply to all taxes, including federal; criteria for local and central taxes and, last but not least, criteria for relationships between local governments. The history of the three local taxes (property tax, business tax and income tax) is viewed in the light of the above-described criteria. It is shown that the local business tax needs to be adjusted according to the criteria of optimal local taxation. The author also explains why, from the theoretical perspective, it was important to transfer the revenue from the income tax to the local level in 1969 and points out that local governments currently lack the authority to set tax rates. The case of the property tax, introduced in 1936, is particularly interesting, taking into consideration the current plans to amend the existing legislation. The author compares the two possible scenarios of the future tax reforms and comes to the conclusion that only one of them fully meets the international standards. The analysis has shown that the local taxation system in Germany is quite efficient, although there is definitely some room for improvement. The combination of the business tax and the income tax allow local authorities to balance the interests of local households and businesses. For citation Zimmermann H.

本文论述了德国地方税的历史及其现状,重点探讨了现有地方税与最优地方税标准的对应关系。作者的假设是,可以而且应该改革可以追溯到帝国时期的德国地方税收制度,以符合国际公认的标准。分析基于几个标准:适用于包括联邦在内的所有税收的一般标准;地方税和中央税的标准,以及地方政府之间关系的标准。三种地方税(财产税、营业税和所得税)的历史是根据上述标准来看待的。结果表明,地方营业税需要根据最优地方税收标准进行调整。作者还从理论角度解释了为什么1969年将所得税收入转移到地方一级很重要,并指出地方政府目前缺乏制定税率的权力。考虑到目前修改现行立法的计划,1936年引入的财产税尤其令人感兴趣。作者比较了未来税收改革的两种可能情景,得出只有一种完全符合国际标准的结论。分析表明,德国的地方税收制度相当有效,尽管肯定还有一些改进的空间。营业税和所得税的结合使地方当局能够平衡当地家庭和企业的利益。引用Zimmermann H.德国地方税收史。税务改革杂志。2019年;5(1):57–69.DOI:10.15826/jtr.209.5.1.060文章信息收到时间:2018年12月17日;接受日期:2019年3月12日

Evaluating scenarios of a personal income tax reform in Russia 俄罗斯个人所得税改革方案评估
IF 0.4 Pub Date : 2019-05-13 DOI: 10.15826/JTR.2019.5.1.057

This article is aimed at evaluating different scenarios of the personal income tax reform in Russia, intended to replace the flat tax scale with a progressive scale. To test the expediency of this plan, the authors present a three-parameter model to calculate the expected effects from different scenarios. The model is based on the idea that the best project should simultaneously reduce the assets ratio, increase budgetary revenue and should minimize the risk of the reform’s non-fulfillment. The research relies on the statistical data on the population’s income distribution. To neutralize distortions, the authors calibrated the initial statistical data on distribution in the high-income group (tenth decile) of the population. The risk of non-fulfillment was assessed through an expert poll. The proposed model was used to test four reform projects, which were developed by the government, the Communist Party, the Liberal Democratic Party, and the party “Just Russia”. It was found that the best project, according to the three parameters applied in the analysis, was the governmental project, which preserves the flat income scale and raises the rate from 13 to 15%. It was also shown that the other projects dramatically overestimated the growth in tax revenues due to incorrect calculations of the distribution of the population’s incomes in the tenth decile group. Thus, at the moment there are no rational alternatives to the governmental project of the reform and there is also no consensus between the Russian opposition parties and the expert community, which prevents them from working together to design a single reform project. It is concluded that at present Russia needs a balanced project which would include multi-step adjustments of the personal income tax over an extended period of time – ten years or more.

本文旨在评估俄罗斯个人所得税改革的不同方案,旨在用累进税制取代单一税制。为了验证该方案的可行性,作者提出了一个三参数模型来计算不同情景下的预期效果。该模型基于这样的思想:最佳方案应同时降低资产比率,增加预算收入,并将改革不实现的风险降到最低。这项研究依赖于人口收入分配的统计数据。为了消除扭曲,作者校准了高收入群体(十分之一)人口分布的初始统计数据。不履行的风险是通过专家投票评估的。提出的模型被用于测试由政府、共产党、自由民主党和“公正俄罗斯”党开发的四个改革项目。根据分析中使用的三个参数,发现最好的项目是政府项目,它保留了固定的收入规模,并将税率从13%提高到15%。报告还显示,由于对第十十分之一组人口收入分配的计算不正确,其他项目大大高估了税收收入的增长。因此,目前没有合理的替代方案来替代政府的改革项目,俄罗斯反对党和专家之间也没有达成共识,这阻碍了他们共同设计一个单一的改革项目。结论是,目前俄罗斯需要一个平衡的项目,其中包括在较长时间内-十年或更长时间内对个人所得税进行多步骤调整。引用Balatsky e.v., Ekimova n.a.对俄罗斯个人所得税改革方案的评估。税改学报,2019;5(1):6-22。DOI: 10.15826/jtr.2019.5.1.0572019年3月18日接受

Fiscal policy and incentives for development of the Soviet planned economy in the industrialization period 工业化时期苏联计划经济发展的财政政策与激励措施

The article is aimed at studying the Soviet fiscal policy and its effects on the country’s economic development in 1926–1940. We used a historical and logical method to research the effectiveness of the two instruments of taxation – the turnover tax and tax charges on profits – and their role in the impressive achievements of the Soviet economy. To analyze and compare the data we used the key indicators of economic development and tax collection for 1926–1940. The results of the analysis have confirmed our hypothesis that the turnover tax and tax charges on profits along with price regulation and planned economy led to the formation of a cost-effective economic model in the USSR. We have shown that this model ensured constant reduction of production costs, accelerated growth of the urban population and unprecedented expansion of heavy industry. Radical simplification of the tax system, which was a part of the 1930s reform, not only had a considerable fiscal effect but also affected social development. The turnover tax and tax charges on profits allowed the government to mobilize considerable resources for investment to stimulate growth in production of heavy industry at a rate of 10–16% a year, which created a multiplier effect in the whole economy. However, financial resources were mobilized at the expense of consumers, since higher taxes were mainly imposed on enterprises of light industry and food industry. This led to “commodity hunger”, the introduction of ration cards, and strict administration. It is concluded that the distinctive feature of the Soviet fiscal policy was its complex nature and subordination to the single goal of the country’s industrialization. For citation Sodnomova S.

本文旨在研究1926-1940年苏联的财政政策及其对国家经济发展的影响。我们用历史和逻辑的方法研究了两种税收工具——流转税和利润税——的有效性,以及它们在苏联经济取得令人瞩目成就中的作用。为了分析和比较数据,我们使用了1926-1940年经济发展和税收的关键指标。分析结果证实了我们的假设,即流转税和利润税以及价格管制和计划经济导致了苏联成本效益经济模式的形成。我们已经证明,这种模式确保了生产成本的不断降低、城市人口的加速增长和重工业的空前扩张。作为20世纪30年代改革的一部分,税收制度的彻底简化不仅产生了相当大的财政影响,而且影响了社会发展。流转税和利润税使政府能够调动大量资源进行投资,以每年10-16%的速度刺激重工业生产的增长,这在整个经济中产生了乘数效应。然而,财政资源的调动是以牺牲消费者为代价的,因为更高的税收主要对轻工业和食品工业的企业征收。这导致了“商品饥饿”、配给卡的引入和严格的管理。结果表明,苏联财政政策的显著特点是其复杂性和服从于国家工业化的单一目标。引用Sodnomova S.K.,Leontyeva Yu。五、工业化时期苏联计划经济发展的财政政策和激励措施。税务改革杂志。2019年;5(1):70–82.DOI:10.15826/jtr.209.5.1.061文章信息收到时间:2018年12月20日;接受日期:2019年3月25日

Tax burden reduction and tax cuts in China’s vat reform 中国增值税改革中的税负削减

The article discusses the impact of VAT reforms in China aimed at reducing tax burden. These include the VAT transformation, “replacement of the business tax with the VAT”, and the simplification and consolidation of the tax rate. The purpose of our study is to describe the results of the VAT reforms and answer two questions: why is there so much controversy surrounding tax burden in the context of the “business tax to VAT” reform? and why are companies so concerned about the VAT reform? These questions can be answered if we analyze the four indicators of the VAT tax burden: the statutory tax rate, the effective tax rate, the nominal tax burden and the actual tax burden. These indicators can also be considered on three levels: macro-level (state or region), mid-level (industry), and micro-level (enterprises). The article illustrates the differences and relationships between these indicators and uses them to analyze the effect of the tax cuts. The input-output method is applied to analyze the indicators for the 2008–2015 period. All indicators of the VAT reform, except for the statutory tax rate, show a clear declining trend in terms of tax burden: the effective tax rate in various industries has dropped by about 1% to 10%; the nominal tax burden, by about 0.5–5%; the actual tax burden, by 150 billion yuan. Therefore, we recommend to reduce the VAT burden by establishing a VAT retained refund system and by increasing the actual deductible rate of enterprises. For citation Fan Y., Li H., Zhu Q.

本文讨论了旨在减轻税负的增值税改革对中国的影响。其中包括增值税转型、“营改增”以及税率的简化和合并。我们研究的目的是描述增值税改革的结果,并回答两个问题:为什么在“营改增”改革的背景下,围绕税收负担会有这么多争议?为什么企业如此关注增值税改革?如果我们分析增值税税负的四个指标:法定税率、实际税率、名义税负和实际税负,这些问题就可以得到回答。这些指标也可以从三个层面考虑:宏观层面(州或地区)、中期层面(行业)和微观层面(企业)。本文阐述了这些指标之间的差异和关系,并用它们来分析减税的效果。投入产出法用于分析2008-2015年期间的指标。增值税改革的各项指标,除法定税率外,税负均呈现明显下降趋势:各行业实际税率下降约1%至10%;名义税负下降约0.5–5%;实际税负增加1500亿元。因此,我们建议通过建立增值税留抵退税制度和提高企业实际可抵扣率来减轻增值税负担。引用范勇,李H.,朱Q.中国增值税改革中的减税降税。税务改革杂志。2019年;5(1):23–41.DOI:10.15826/jtr.209.5.1.058文章信息收到时间:2018年7月7日;接受日期:2019年2月1日

All indicators of the VAT reform, except for the statutory tax rate, show a clear declining trend in terms of tax burden: the effective tax rate in various industries has dropped by about 1% to 10%; the nominal tax burden, by about 0.5–5%; the actual tax burden, by 150 billion yuan. Therefore, we recommend to reduce the VAT burden by establishing a VAT retained refund system and by increasing the actual deductible rate of enterprises. For citation Fan Y., Li H., Zhu Q.

The oil industry occupies an important place in Russian economy and in the global energy supply system. The industry has recently been facing a number of internal and external problems, for example, the deteriorating quality and structure of the product base and an increase in the share of tight oil reserves. Confronting these challenges will inevitably incur costs, which will directly affect oil companies’ financial performance. The Russian government uses taxation to incentivize oil companies to improve their efficiency, which renders the question of tax burden particularly salient. This study aims to analyze the tax burden on the Russian oil industry in the period from 2010 to 2017 and to identify the key factors that shape the structure and dynamics of oil companies’ tax payments. The article provides an overview of Russian and international research literature on the problem of tax burden. The role of oil and gas revenues in the structure of the Russian federal budget is shown. The analysis demonstrates that there has been a steady decline in the tax burden on oil companies in recent years due to the changes in the method of calculating the mineral extraction tax and export duties as well as the expanding range of preferential categories of subsurface use objects. The factor analysis combined with quantitative analysis reveals the factors that determine the dynamics and structure of oil companies’ tax payments. The method of cluster analysis is applied in this study to compare the performance of Russian oil companies according to a set of tax burden parameters. The companies are divided into three clusters and specific recommendations are provided for each cluster. For example, Gazprom Neft and LUKOIL have a low tax burden and can be seen, therefore, as potential donors of tax revenues; Rosneft, Bashneft and Tatneft need to increase their efficiency through non-tax optimization; a suitable strategy for Surgutneftegaz, RussNeft, and Slavneft, in our view, would be to adjust the structure of their production activities to increase the share of the domestic crude oil market. Based on the results of the cluster analysis, the authors propose guidelines for reforming taxation of the oil industry and describe the main stages of this process. For citation Filimonova I.

石油工业在俄罗斯经济和全球能源供应体系中占有重要地位。该行业最近面临着一些内部和外部问题,例如,产品基础质量和结构的恶化以及致密油储量份额的增加。面对这些挑战将不可避免地产生成本,这将直接影响石油公司的财务业绩。俄罗斯政府通过税收来激励石油公司提高效率,这使得税负问题尤为突出。本研究旨在分析2010年至2017年期间俄罗斯石油行业的税收负担,并确定影响石油公司纳税结构和动态的关键因素。本文概述了俄罗斯和国际上关于税收负担问题的研究文献。石油和天然气收入在俄罗斯联邦预算结构中的作用如图所示。分析表明,近年来,由于采掘税和出口关税计算方法的变化以及地下利用对象优惠类别的扩大,石油公司的税收负担稳步下降。因子分析与定量分析相结合,揭示了决定石油公司纳税动态和结构的因素。本研究采用聚类分析的方法,根据一组税负参数对俄罗斯石油公司的绩效进行比较。这些公司被分为三个集群,并为每个集群提供具体的建议。例如,俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司(Gazprom Neft)和卢克石油公司(LUKOIL)的税负较低,因此可以被视为税收的潜在捐助者;Rosneft、Bashneft和Tatneft需要通过非税收优化来提高效率;我们认为,Surgutneftegaz、RussNeft和Slavneft的合适策略是调整其生产活动结构,以增加国内原油市场的份额。基于聚类分析的结果,作者提出了石油工业税收改革的指导方针,并描述了这一过程的主要阶段。Filimonova I.

The article examines analyze current features of personal income taxation, and also the relationship between income inequality, individual income taxes and several labor market indicators in Asia-Pacific countries. The income inequality issue affects basic social and economic terms as equity and equality. The increase in income inequality in countries worldwide led to vigorous debate about efficiency of progressive individual income taxation as a tool for achieving optimal level of social equity. The purpose of the study is to examine the features of progressive individual income taxation and its influence of reduction of income inequality in Asia-Pacific countries. The article analyzes current systems of personal income taxation in countries of this region and their relationship with key macroeconomic indicators. The methodology includes cross-country comparisons, principal component analysis, regression analysis. The main theoretical results include identification of causes of inefficiency of progressive individual income taxation in analyzed countries. The empirical results are related to the estimation of influence of macroeconomic factors, including labor market indicators, on individual income tax revenue. The applied methods, notably principal component analysis combined with regression analysis, can be used for estimation of influence of both quantitative and qualitative factors on tax revenue. HIGHLIGHTS 1. The tax theory suggests that the progressive individual income tax system can be an effective tool for reduction of income inequality 2. For developing Asia-Pacific countries, the progressive personal income tax systems cannot contribute to the reduction of inequality since the tax base is narrow because of high free-tax thresholds and large informal sector of the economy 3. The developed Asia-Pacific countries have relatively high personal income tax revenues and low Gini coefficients, except Singapore with high income inequality level and GDP per capita similar to developed countries. One of the main reasons of high inequality in this country are the features of government tax policy 4. In developing Asia-Pacific countries only statutory nominal gross monthly minimum wage has significant impact on individual income tax revenue, and this impact depends crucially on the GDP per capita; the main reason are high tax-free personal income thresholds in these countries FOR CITATION Belozyorov S.

本文考察分析了亚太国家个人所得税的现状特点,以及收入不平等、个人所得税和几个劳动力市场指标之间的关系。收入不平等问题影响到公平和平等等基本的社会经济术语。世界各国收入不平等的加剧引发了关于累进个人所得税作为实现最佳社会公平水平的工具的效率的激烈辩论。本研究的目的是考察累进个人所得税的特点及其对减少亚太国家收入不平等的影响。本文分析了该地区国家现行的个人所得税制度及其与主要宏观经济指标的关系。方法包括跨国比较、主成分分析、回归分析。主要的理论结果包括确定了所分析国家累进个人所得税效率低下的原因。实证结果与劳动力市场指标等宏观经济因素对个人所得税收入影响的估计有关。所采用的方法,特别是主成分分析与回归分析相结合的方法,可以用来估计定量和定性因素对税收的影响。亮点1。税收理论表明,累进个人所得税制度可以成为减少收入不平等的有效工具。对于发展中亚太国家来说,累进个人所得税制度不能有助于减少不平等,因为税基狭窄,因为自由征税门槛高,而且经济中有大量的非正规部门。亚太发达国家的个人所得税收入相对较高,基尼系数较低,但新加坡收入不平等程度较高,人均GDP与发达国家相近。这个国家收入不平等程度高的主要原因之一是政府税收政策的特点。在发展中亚太国家,只有法定名义最低工资对个人所得税收入有显著影响,而这种影响主要取决于人均国内生产总值;主要原因是这些国家的免税个人收入门槛较高。Belozyorov s.a, Sokolovska o.v.。亚太地区个人所得税与收入不平等:一个跨国分析。《税收改革研究》,2018年第4期。3,第236-249页。DOI: 10.15826/jtr.2018.4.3.054文章信息收于2018.07.17;2018年8月20日接受

Pakistan tax system reforms carried out during 2001–2010, were overwhelming, expensive, and a failure. The reforms were financially afforded and technically assisted by World Bank. While both Government of Pakistan and World Bank agreed on the failure of tax reforms, each blamed the other for the failure. A consensus, however, does exist as regards the fact that the reform program left the tax system more gridlocked, retrofitted, and incapacitated than before to generate both sufficient and healthy revenues. The paper adopts case study approach to explore into the factors of failure of the reform program. The study is anchored in Large Taxpayers’ Unit, Islamabad — a flagship taxing field formation established under the reform project. The data are produced from Large Taxpayers’ Unit, Islamabad, to assess its jurisdictional, functional, and operational capacity and explain why its tax collection curve flattens after 2012. The insights so derived at micro-level are made to feed back into macro-canvass of the program and enhance our holistic understanding and see its failure in a different and closer-to-reality light. The analysis is extrapolated to the national level to argue that as soon as political ownership and donor oversight — the key drivers — were omitted from the equation, the resultant resource constrains were enough to frustrate and fail the entire reform program. The conclusions drawn are generalizable to most similarly-circumstanced developing countries and their rigidly underperforming tax systems. Highlights 1. The evaluation of a tax reform program being essentially subjective could well be undertaken by adopting case study approach that generates empirics at micro-level, which get fed into the analytics at the macro-level 2. In order for the tax reform evaluation to stay comprehensively meaningful, it covers the micro locale being evaluated across its full spectrum i.e. jurisdictional, functional, and operational capacity 3. Continued political ownership and donor oversight are key variables of a tax reform program, and their elimination from the equation mid-stream potentially results in reversing and even perverting the entire reform agenda FOR CITATION Ahmed M.

巴基斯坦在2001-2000年期间进行的税收制度改革是压倒性的、昂贵的和失败的。世界银行为这些改革提供了资金和技术援助。虽然巴基斯坦政府和世界银行都同意税收改革的失败,但双方都将失败归咎于对方。然而,对于改革计划使税收系统比以前更加堵塞、改造和丧失能力,以产生足够和健康的收入这一事实,确实存在共识。本文采用案例研究的方法,对改革方案失败的因素进行了探讨。这项研究以伊斯兰堡大型纳税人单位为基础,该单位是根据改革项目成立的旗舰税务部门。这些数据来自伊斯兰堡的大型纳税人单位,用于评估其管辖权、职能和运营能力,并解释为什么其税收曲线在2012年后趋于平缓。从微观层面得出的见解将反馈到该计划的宏观研究中,增强我们的整体理解,并从不同和更接近现实的角度看待其失败。该分析被推断到国家层面,认为一旦政治所有权和捐助者监督——这两个关键驱动因素——从等式中被忽略,由此产生的资源限制就足以挫败和失败整个改革计划。得出的结论可推广到处境最相似的发展中国家及其表现不佳的税收制度。亮点1。对税收改革计划的评估本质上是主观的,可以通过采用案例研究方法来进行,该方法在微观层面产生经验,并将其纳入宏观层面的分析2。为了使税收改革评估保持全面的意义,它涵盖了正在评估的微观地区的全方位,即管辖权、职能和运营能力3。持续的政治所有权和捐助者监督是税收改革计划的关键变量,在中期将其从等式中删除可能会逆转甚至扭曲整个改革议程。《税收改革杂志》,2018年,第4卷,第3期,第202–222页。DOI:10.15826/jtr.2018.4.3.052文章信息收到时间:2018年8月30日;2018年12月9日接受

The paper is studying the tax risks of the Silk Road Economic Belt. Since President Xi Jinping proposed an initiative to jointly build the Silk Road Economic Belt in 2013 when he visited Kazakhstan, the process of regional cooperation on the Silk Road Economic Belt has been further accelerated. With the advancement of the economic and trade exchanges between China and the 16 countries along Silk Road, tax distribution relations have become complicated, and tax risks become an important issue that cannot be ignored. Based on the theory of international tax and using the comparative analysis and empirical analysis, the paper firstly studies the spatial scope of the Silk Road Economic Belt and the institutional environment of the countries along the route, and then mainly analyzes tax risks in the development of the Silk Road Economic Belt and their sources. The study has revealed that there exist large differences in the tax system among the 16 countries along the Silk Road and poor coordination in the tax system, especially in respect of corporate income tax. Coupled with the influence of language barriers, it is difficult for countries to grasp each other’s taxation policies and regulations in a timely and comprehensive manner. Finally, the paper proposes the path to prevent the risks of the Silk Road Economic Belt. The main conclusions are: the countries along the Silk Road Economic Belt have hugely different tax system and incomplete tax treaty system, implying big risks for Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS); the risk sources are that lack of tax collection and management capacity to adapt to international tax rules, and neither enterprises nor tax service departments pay due attention to tax risks; the countries along the Silk Road Economic Belt should optimize open and friendly taxation policies, promote tax coordination, and improve tax collection and management capacities to prevent tax risks. HIGHLIGHTS 1. Regional economic cooperation is always accompanied by tax risks. Accordingly, to effectively prevent tax risks will become a booster for the prosperity and development of the Silk Road Economic Belt 2. There are three main tax risks in the development of Silk Road Economic Belt: differences in the tax system, the incompleteness of the tax treaty system, and the risks under the background of BEPS 3. Tax risks of the Silk Road Economic Belt mainly stem from two aspects. First, weak tax collection and management capacity, and second, lack of sufficient attention to tax risks 4. Based on the current development status and tax risks for Silk Road Economic Belt, strengthening the tax risks prevention can be respectively planned from three perspectives, including domestic tax system, international coordination, tax collection and management FOR CITATION Ma Caichen, Shan Miao.

本文研究的是丝绸之路经济带的税收风险。 随着中国与丝绸之路沿线16国经贸往来的推进,税收分配关系变得复杂,税收风险成为不可忽视的重要问题。本文以国际税收理论为基础,运用比较分析和实证分析的方法,首先研究了丝绸之路经济带的空间范围和沿线国家的制度环境,然后重点分析了丝绸之路上经济带发展中的税收风险及其来源。研究表明,丝绸之路沿线16个国家的税收制度存在较大差异,税收制度协调性较差,特别是在企业所得税方面。再加上语言障碍的影响,各国很难及时、全面地掌握彼此的税收政策和法规。最后,提出了丝绸之路经济带风险防范的路径。主要结论是:丝绸之路经济带沿线国家税收制度差异较大,税收协定体系不完善,存在较大的税基侵蚀和利润转移风险;风险来源是缺乏适应国际税收规则的税收征管能力,企业和税务服务部门都没有对税收风险给予应有的重视;丝绸之路经济带沿线国家应优化开放友好的税收政策,促进税收协调,提高税收征管能力,防范税收风险。亮点1。区域经济合作总是伴随着税收风险。因此,有效防范税收风险将成为丝绸之路经济带2繁荣发展的助推器。丝绸之路经济带发展中的税收风险主要有三个方面:税收制度的差异性、税收条约制度的不完整性以及BEPS3背景下的风险。丝绸之路经济带的税收风险主要来源于两个方面。一是税收征管能力不强,二是对税收风险关注不够。根据丝绸之路经济带的发展现状和税收风险,可以分别从国内税收体系、国际协调、税收征管三个角度对加强税收风险防范进行规划。新丝绸之路发展中的税收风险研究。《税收改革杂志》,2018年,第4卷,第3期,第250–265页。DOI:10.15826/jtr.2018.4.3.055文章信息收到日期:2018年7月28日;2018年9月23日接受

Based on the current development status and tax risks for Silk Road Economic Belt, strengthening the tax risks prevention can be respectively planned from three perspectives, including domestic tax system, international coordination, tax collection and management FOR CITATION Ma Caichen, Shan Miao.

The paper aims to examine the internal motivation of taxpayer’s behavior, and the factors affecting tax morale and voluntary tax compliance The authors provide scientific results of the tax experiments in post-Soviet countries (Russia and Belarus). The laboratory tax experiment was carried out in a form of a business game engaging students of various levels of education and background. The controllability of the experiment with the impossibility of material encouragement is ensured in the student’s environment in the form of scores to the final attestation. In order to obtain data on tax behavior motivation, a survey on attitude to tax system was conducted. Respondents (experiment participants) were asked to indicate their level of agreement with defined statements by Likert scale. To assess the differences between two groups of participants (who paid and who do not paid tax), the data obtained as a result of filling out the questionnaire using the Mann-Whitney U -test and the Kruskal-Wallis H -test were analyzed. The study results affirmed the hypothesis generated earlier, the personal tax morale influences the national tax system and the tax behavior of an individual. The article proves that the awareness of the ways government spends public revenue and the trust level to the state and tax system itself influence tax behavior directly. The civil awareness on the real state of fiscal distribution increases the trust level to the government among taxpayers and is the essential motivation to pay taxes. The developed methodology may be used in an educational process to increase tax literacy, its further application in the scientific research will allow us to derive evidence-based methods and ways to directly influence tax behavior, which may enlarge the public revenue in the times of an unstable global economy. Highlights 1. The study reveals that the tax audit affects more the amount of evading taxes than the number of evaders, where an increase of education level helps to reduce tax evasion through citizens, to make an individual more competent and more responsible as a taxpayer 2. Laboratory tax behavior monitoring of students allows us to identify the factors that influence on the real national tax behavior and tax experiments could become a tool for the formation of strategies of interaction between tax authorities and taxpayers in Russia and Belarus 3. The main incentives for paying taxes are the trust towards the government and the tax system and the understanding of the society-oriented character of the state FOR CITATION Kireenko A.

本文旨在考察纳税人行为的内在动机,以及影响税收士气和自愿纳税的因素。作者提供了后苏联国家(俄罗斯和白俄罗斯)税收实验的科学结果。实验室税收实验是以商业游戏的形式进行的,吸引了不同教育水平和背景的学生。在学生的环境中,以分数到最终证明的形式确保了实验的可控性,不可能有物质鼓励。为了获得税收行为动机的数据,对税收制度的态度进行了调查。受访者(实验参与者)被要求通过Likert量表表明他们对定义陈述的一致程度。为了评估两组参与者(纳税者和未纳税者)之间的差异,分析了使用Mann-Whitney U检验和Kruskal-Wallis H检验填写问卷所得的数据。研究结果肯定了先前提出的假设,即个人税收士气影响国家税收制度和个人税收行为。文章证明,政府对公共收入支出方式的认识以及对国家和税收制度本身的信任程度直接影响税收行为。公民对财政分配真实状况的认识提高了纳税人对政府的信任程度,是纳税的根本动机。所开发的方法可用于教育过程中,以提高税收知识,其在科学研究中的进一步应用将使我们能够得出基于证据的方法和方法,直接影响税收行为,这可能会在全球经济不稳定的时期扩大公共收入。亮点1。研究表明,税务审计对逃税金额的影响大于逃税者的数量,教育水平的提高有助于减少公民的逃税行为,使个人作为纳税人更有能力和责任感2。对学生的实验室税收行为监测使我们能够确定影响真实国家税收行为的因素,税收实验可以成为俄罗斯和白俄罗斯税务当局与纳税人之间形成互动策略的工具3。纳税的主要动机是对政府和税收制度的信任,以及对国家社会导向特征的理解。《税收改革杂志》,2018年,第4卷,第3期,第266–290页。DOI:10.15826/jtr.2018.4.3.056文章信息2018年8月14日收到;2018年10月22日接受
