Abstract In an effort to limit the effects of the COVID-19 epidemic determined by restrictions in economic activity and various areas of social activity, the catalogue of preventive actions was expanded by tax and legal instruments in the form of income tax reliefs inclining taxpayers to certain behaviours. The reliefs entitle taxpayers to deduct the value of donations made for the purposes of counteracting COVID-19 from the tax base. Two types of such donations have been distinguished, i.e., donations for entities participating in the treatment of infected persons and donations for educational institutions providing remote education. The aim of this article is to establish the premises justifying the claim that the tax reliefs for donations made by income tax payers are autonomous in relation to other tax preferences available to taxpayers making donations for other socially useful purposes. The hypothesis about the ad hoc and temporary nature of these tax reliefs has been verified as true, and the dominance of the motivating and stimulating function over their fiscal function has been demonstrated. Symmetrical solutions have been identified in the legal structure of the subject tax reliefs, as the donor uses a deduction from the tax base, while the recipient does not include the accepted donation in their income. The study uses the legal-dogmatic method and, in addition, the empirical analytical method to present the jurisprudence of courts in the field of applying tax reliefs due to donations made by income tax payers.

Thus, the tourism sector in general, and in particular, the new typologies of tourism that take advantage of cultural resources, such as religious tourism, have in recent years become the focus of attention by economic, political and scientific agents. Religious tourism started the moment man began to move due to a question of belief, that is to say, with a religious manifestation, the pilgrimage, being a pilgrim a tourist with religious motivation. Currently, according to UNWTO estimates, between 300 and 330 million tourists visit the main religious sites every year. Taking into account the increasing interest in the subject of religious tourism and pilgrimage, a review of the academic literature on this type of tourism is carried out in this chapter by means of a descriptive bibliometric study of articles, books and of book chapters included in the multidisciplinary Scopus (Elsevier) database until the year 2016. Thus, through an advanced search for terms, we selected a representative set of 199 documents that form the ad-hoc base of the analysis. In view of the results, it is concluded that despite an uncertain start at the beginning of the 80s, from the year 2006 the interest for this discipline experiences a rapid growth with more than 80% of the work published during the 2006-2016 period.

Furthermore, we also conduct interview to find practical experience that cannot be found in literatures. A deep-interview is applied to the relevant officials. The result shows that usage of gross revenue to calculate tax base based on PP 46/2013 is quite suitable with the objective of the regulation, to simplify and support tax payers in fulfilling their tax-obligation. On the other hand, although the revenue is not appropriate with the definition of Income tax law, every additional economic capability, the provision is not against general rules. This is occurred because Article 17 paragraph 7 and Article 4 paragraph 2 letter (a) Income Tax Law allow certain income will be imposed by final income tax. Keyword:  Tax Base, Income, Gross Revenue, PP 46/2013

In this paper the author discusses the Slovenian tax rules on the responsibility of heirs for tax debts that their ancestors (decedents) had at death and also tax debts of the estate. Generally the heirs must fulfil all of them, but two groups of exceptions exist. The first one consists of exceptions applicable to all types of tax debts, e.g., liability only up to the amount of inherited property, liability of each heir in relation to his share of the inherited property, non-liability if the heir transfers the inheritance to the state or the local community, non-liability when the amount of tax is 80 EUR or lower. The second group of exceptions apply only to the personal income tax residents’ liability for that part of the personal income that is taxed annually (employment income, income from economic activity that is established on the basis of actual revenue and expenses, income from basic agricultural and basic forestry activities, income from transfer of property rights, and other income). Since personal circumstances (e.g. living costs, number of children, age) are taken into account when calculating the annual tax base, the legislator believes that part of the personal income tax is a strictly personal obligation by nature. Hence, it ceases to exist when the tax debtor dies. The heirs are responsible for such tax debts only if the tax is either declared by the tax authority or by the deceased when he is still alive. The author of this paper claims that because the responsibility of the heirs depends on the activity of the tax authority or on the deceased taxpayer and not only on the moment of death, the constitutional equality before the law clause is breached.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the Double Irish and Dutch Sandwich (DIDS) tax schemes used by international companies. Companies using these schemes are enabled to transfer a large amount of their profits to offshore tax havens by using wholly owned subsidiaries located in Ireland and the Netherlands. This paper also analyzes the US General Anti-Avoidance Rule (GAAR) to see whether it can effectively detect and counteract this scheme. This analysis is furthermore enhanced by applying the Mauritian GAAR through Section 90 of the Income Tax Act to the said schemes. Design/methodology/approach Concerning research methods, the library and the internet will be the main sources of information to be used for this paper. Through the usage of library research, the Mauritian Income Tax Act, US GAAR, European Commission decisions and scholar writings will further enhance this paper on the structure and preventive actions that can be taken against the DIDS scheme. This paper will also use a case study coupled with a theoretical analysis of current anti-avoidance rules. Findings The paper then concludes that it is possible to counteract the schemes using the Mauritian law but under specific circumstances. It is then revealed that there is a fundamental flaw in the current tax systems, which is the inability to regulate the intangible nature of resources and technology-based transactions. Originality/value To the author's knowledge, this paper is among the first literature on the subject of DIDS strategies conducted in the context of Mauritius.
