Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2022 in the subject Law - Tax / Fiscal Law, grade: 4.5, National Open University of Nigeria, language: English, abstract: Taxation is perhaps the oldest recognized profession in the world. It has always been with us, it is still with us, and it will continue to be with us. According to chapter two, verse one of St. Luke's gospel of the Holy Bible which reported the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ with a decree from Augustus Ceasar that all the world should be taxed. "and it came to pass in those days that there went a decree from Ceasar Augustus that all the world should be taxed;" (and this taxing was first made when Cyrenious was governor of Asyria). This Biblical record is perhaps the origin of taxation. Taxation may be defined as the compulsory contribution imposed by a public authority, irrespective of the amount of services rendered to the taxpayer in return. Taxation can also be defined according to Ola (1987) as the demand made by the Government of a country for compulsory payment of money by the citizens of the country. Tabansi (1997) says tax is a levy imposed by the Government against the income, profit or wealth of the individual, partnership and corporate organization. The above definitions emphasizes the fact that taxation is a compulsory levy or contribution that is imposed by the Government on the people resident in the country. Since it is a compulsory payment made either directly or indirectly, refusal to comply becomes an offence, which attracts punishment. Taxation is divided into various types such as Income Tax, Corporation Tax, Capital Gain Tax etc. In Nigeria, tax is levied by the authority of Federal Government Income Tax Management Act of 1961 (ITMA) and subsequent amendment, including the finance (Miscellaneous Taxation Provisions) Decree 1992 and the finance (Miscellaneous Provisions) Decree 1997. The tax year of most government establishment is based on the fiscal year, which is the normal calendar year and ranges from 1st January to 31st December of the same year. This income tax year is also called the year of assessment, for instance the 1999 year of assessment is the 1999 fiscal year.

Download or read book Taxation written by Martin O'Neill and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-19 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to give a collective treatment of philosophical issues relating to tax. The tax system is central to the operation of states and to the ways in which states interact with individual citizens. Taxes are used by states to fund the provision of public goods and public services, to engage in direct or indirect forms of redistribution, and to mould the behaviour of individual citizens. As the contributors to this volume show, there are a number of pressing and thorny philosophical issues relating to the tax system, and these issues often connect in fascinating ways with foundational questions regarding property rights, public justification, democracy, state neutrality, stability, political psychology, and other moral and political issues. Many of these deep and fascinating philosophical questions about tax have not received as much sustained attention as they clearly merit. The aim of advancing the debate about tax in political philosophy has both general and more specific aspects, ranging across both over-arching issues regarding the tax system as a whole and more specific issues relating to particular forms of tax policy. Thinking clearly about tax is not an easy task, as much that is of central importance is missed if one proceeds at too great a level of abstraction, and issues of conceptual and normative importance often only come sharply into focus when viewed against real-world questions of implementation and feasibility. Serious philosophical work on the tax system will often therefore need to be interdisciplinary, and so the discussion in this book includes a number of scholars whose expertise spans across neighbouring disciplines to philosophy, including political science, economics, public policy, and law.

Download or read book Managing Income Tax Compliance through Self Assessment written by Andrew Okello and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2014-03-11 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern tax administrations seek to optimize tax collections while minimizing administration costs and taxpayer compliance costs. Experience shows that voluntary compliance is best achieved through a system of self-assessment. Many tax administrations have introduced self-assessment principles in the income tax law but the legal authority is not being consistently applied. They continue to rely heavily on “desk” auditing a majority of tax returns, while risk management practices remain largely underdeveloped and/or underutilized. There is also plenty of opportunity in many countries to enhance the design and delivery of client-focused taxpayer service programs, and better engage with the private sector and other stakeholders.

Download or read book Taxation Responsiveness and Accountability in Sub Saharan Africa written by Wilson Prichard and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-11 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is increasingly argued that bargaining between citizens and governments over tax collection can provide a foundation for the development of responsive and accountable governance in developing countries. However, while intuitively attractive, surprisingly little research has captured the reality and complexity of this relationship in practice. This book provides the most complete treatment of the connections between taxation and accountability in developing countries, providing both new evidence and an invaluable starting point for future research. Drawing on cross-country econometric evidence and detailed case studies from Ghana, Kenya and Ethiopia, Wilson Prichard shows that reliance on taxation has, in fact, increased responsiveness and accountability by expanding the political power wielded by taxpayers. Critically, however, processes of tax bargaining have been highly varied, frequently long term and contextually contingent. Capturing this diversity provides novel insight into politics in developing countries and how tax reform can be designed to encourage broader governance gains.
