Global economic crisis and its consequences especially on the countries in transition has contributed to the trend of decreasing of economic activities, decreasing of employment and increasing the ...level of tax burden which is especially expresed in conditions of not favorably business environment. Tax evasion has been present in theory for many years, but in our practice until now it has not been significantly consideres and this is one of the research goals to answer what woud happen to total business and economic environment if we decided for radical fight against tax fraud with the goal of increasing public revenues on one side, and relief of economy and increasing of competitiveness both in the domestic and foreign markets, on the other side. Decreasing of tax frauds, before all, would positivly affect on the public sector in long-term perion because it would lead to growth and greater stability of public revenues (grater revenues of VAT as the most important tax form), would create conditions for new investment activity, which affected the growth of companies, and thus the overall growth of the economy.
The functioning of tax administrations that have no mutual connections and the existence of a great number of tax regulations open room for tax evasion and tax avoidance, have a bearing on fiscal ...discipline, and in turn serve to create a multitude of economic, legal and even sociological problems. The functioning of the tax system and taxation in one economy is of crucial importance to overall financial stability, and tax evasion is one of the major risks, if not addressed adequately, and, depending on the amount of taxes evaded, can trigger severe financial instability in a country. Neither one taxation system is invulnerable to misuse, thus the VAT system is not immune as well, only methods of frauds that are different in various taxation systems. The paper presents the theoretical part of the tax problems, the basic characteristics of the taxation system in BiH. The aim of this paper is to point out the complexity of tax systems in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Tax evasion is more of a disciplinary problem, produced by numerous, big and turbulent changes. The growing problems with tax evasion are present all over the world and they require a global solution ...of the problem. Although tax evasion is a global phenomenon, this is also the issue that most developed countries in the world are dealing with, there are significant differences between individual countries, all depending on the legal order, the entire social system and it is depending from country to country, and this is especially evident among transitioning countries. The problem of tax evasion is particularly acute in Bosnia and Herzegovina (hereinafter BiH). The main research result indicates that tax evasion has multiplicative effects; by reducing tax evasion, the situation in public finances improves substantially. This article discusses tax evasion in BiH and the perception of taxpayers and tax inspectors towards tax evasion. In this line, this article presents the theoretical analysis of the phenomenon of tax evasion (which is not a goal in itself), including the empirical analysis factors that have the greatest influence on tax evasion by using logistic regression modeling method. The paper checks the main hypothesis by identifying the factors that affect tax evasion and by determining their significance and impact, it is possible to construct logit model for determining factors of tax evasion in BiH.
Na poreznu evaziju utječu svojom isprepletenošću i determiniranošću brojni subjektivni i objektivni čimbenici, a svi čimbenici porezne evazije su uzajamno povezani i nadopunjujući. Cilj i svrha ovog ...rada je identifikacija subjektivnih i objektivnih čimbenika, koji utječu na poreznu evaziju u Bosni i Hercegovini. Osnovni rezultat istraživanja ukazuje da porezna evazija ima multiplikativno djelovanje, narušava ugled, prije svega institucija, posebno porezne administracije, ugrožava porezni sustav i načela pravne države, uzrokujući nepovjerenje, prije svega poreznih obveznika u sam porezni sustav te se smanjenjem porezne evazije, značajno poboljšava stanje u javnim financijama. U radu je prikazana teorijska analiza fenomena porezne evazije (koja nije sama sebi cilj), s empirijskom analizom subjektivnih i objektivnih čimbenika koji najviše utječu na poreznu evaziju u Bosni i Hercegovini, s procjenom visine porezne evazije.
