This book was released on 2014 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Personal Income Tax Act Cap P8, LFN 2004, is now amended by the Personal Income Tax (amendment) Act, 2011. This follows many years of agitation for the Personal Income Tax Law in Nigeria to be brought in line with present day economic realities, and also to increase the compliance levels and the amount of tax voluntarily paid and or collected by the Nigerian government. This paper therefore evaluated the impact of the amendment on the revenue generated by the Kaduna state board of internal revenue. Both primary and secondary data were used as sources of data collection. The chi-square and t-test were used in the analysis. The paper found that the personal income tax law 2011 has not successfully encouraged tax payers to voluntarily comply with self-assessment and compliance. The new law has not succeeded in driving the force of change that will minimize the incidence of tax avoidance and tax evasion. It has therefore not improved the revenue generated by the state boards of internal revenue. It is the recommendation of the paper that more has to be done on the law to reduce the loop holes that allow tax payers to manipulate the law to their advantage. Again, the law must be reviewed to have stringent punishment for defaulters. Authorities must also provide services to the tax payers to convince them that the tax they pay provides benefit to them. Furthermore, the Kaduna State Board of Internal Revenue Service (KSBIRS) staff should undergo training and workshop on proper administration of Personal Income Tax in the state.

Book excerpt: Project Report from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Accounting and Taxes, grade: upper credit, Federal University of Applied Administrative Sciences Haar (adamawa state polytechnic yola), course: accounting and auditing, language: English, abstract: The increasing cost of running a government coupled with dwindling revenue has led various state governments in Nigeria to formulating strategies to improve their revenue. This project shows the impact of company income tax on revenue generation in Nigeria. The method used in collecting data for this research work is through primary, personal observation and secondary data as the major source of information. The researcher administered the questionnaires randomly to the staff of Federal Inland Revenue Services, registered Company Income Tax agents and in some public places in Adamawa State. One hundred (100) questionnaires were generally administered to all the various respondents at the rate of one questionnaire per individual. The data collected were analyzed using simple percentage. The analysis revealed that there is no any marked difference in the various respondents’ general perception of Company Income Tax on government revenue generation and its impacts on living condition of people in Adamawa State. Therefore, based on the findings, the study recommends among others that; the government agency responsible for the collection of companies income tax, the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) should work in liaison with the Commission (CAC) to ensure that all companies registered in Nigeria i.e. Foreign and Domestic meet their tax obligations to the nation.

This book was released on 2021-09-24 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The excessive complexity and burden of the Brazilian tax system, riddled by cumulative indirect taxes and heavy payroll contributions, have led to an accumulation of fiscal incentives aimed at reducing its burden on taxpayers and productive activities. Federal and subnational tax expenditures currently stand at over 5 percent of GDP. Rationalizing them can only be comprehensively feasible in the context of a broader sequenced tax reform, and could reduce resource misallocation and income inequality, as well as provide new revenues.

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 How to Manage Value Added Tax Refunds written by Mario Pessoa and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-05-10 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The value-added tax (VAT) has the potential to generate significant government revenue. Despite its intrinsic self-enforcement capacity, many tax administrations find it challenging to refund excess input credits, which is critical to a well-functioning VAT system. Improperly functioning VAT refund practices can have profound implications for fiscal policy and management, including inaccurate deficit measurement, spending overruns, poor budget credibility, impaired treasury operations, and arrears accumulation.This note addresses the following issues: (1) What are VAT refunds and why should they be managed properly? (2) What practices should be put in place (in tax policy, tax administration, budget and treasury management, debt, and fiscal statistics) to help manage key aspects of VAT refunds? For a refund mechanism to be credible, the tax administration must ensure that it is equipped with the strategies, processes, and abilities needed to identify VAT refund fraud. It must also be prepared to act quickly to combat such fraud/schemes.

Download or read book Guidelines for Public Expenditure Management written by Mr.Jack Diamond and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1999-07-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, economics training in public finances has focused more on tax than public expenditure issues, and within expenditure, more on policy considerations than the more mundane matters of public expenditure management. For many years, the IMF's Public Expenditure Management Division has answered specific questions raised by fiscal economists on such missions. Based on this experience, these guidelines arose from the need to provide a general overview of the principles and practices observed in three key aspects of public expenditure management: budget preparation, budget execution, and cash planning. For each aspect of public expenditure management, the guidelines identify separately the differing practices in four groups of countries - the francophone systems, the Commonwealth systems, Latin America, and those in the transition economies. Edited by Barry H. Potter and Jack Diamond, this publication is intended for a general fiscal, or a general budget, advisor interested in the macroeconomic dimension of public expenditure management.
