Tax revenue is the most important source of state revenue nowadays. One of the largest sources of tax revenue is Value Added Tax (VAT) and Sales Tax on Luxury Goods. Tax buoyancy and elasticity is a common measure employed to estimate tax revenue productivity. Concept of elasticity is used to determine the level of responsiveness of automatic (built-in) of tax revenue to the tax base. While the concept of buoyancy is useful to know responsiveness of tax revenue, both to the tax base and to changes in policy. By using the Divisia index during 1984 to 2012, this research specifies that the coefficients of buoyancy and elasticity are 0.99 and 0.82 respectively. It shows that the PPN / PPnBM (VAT and Sales Tax on Luxury Goods) relatively unitary buoyant, but less elastic to the tax base. While using the basis of sectoral GDP from 2005 to 2012, VAT revenues also inelastic with respect to the development of the tax base with a coefficient of 0.632 and a buoyant relative to GDP overall with a coefficient of 1.076. Inelastic tax system forces governments to continuously make discretionary changes, either in the tax bases or in the tax rates or both, in order to be able to keep up with increasing public expenditures. Moreover, the point elasticity indicates that manufacturing and mining sectors are fluctuating as the VAT key sector and the trade sector are relatively stable and buoyant. Therefore, the government needs to review the policies of both the base and the VAT structure, in particular for the manufacturing and the mining sector.

The plan to impose a value added tax (hereinafter referred to as VAT) on basic commodities has recently caused a polemic between the government and the community regarding justice and public welfare. The community is questioning the implementation of a just and civilized welfare from the government for the imposition of the VAT. Previously, on basic commodities, the government did not charge any kind of tax at all. The imposition of this tax is motivated by the economic recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic, Indonesia's VAT rate is too low, and the structure of state revenue is dominated by VAT. This paper aims to provide an analysis of the relationship between the imposition of VAT on staple goods and their impact on the level of community justice. The method used in this paper is a qualitative research method with a normative-juridical approach which is carried out through a literature study. This paper describes the findings related to the reasons for the government to charge VAT on basic necessities and the protection of the community's right to justice on the imposition of VAT. This finding can provide an overview for the continuation of the revision of the draft Law Number 6 of 1983 concerning General Provisions and Tax Procedures (hereinafter referred to as the KUP Bill) which contains revisions on basic materials as objects of VAT.


Significance Cairo passed a value-added tax (VAT) law, a key prerequisite for the Fund, while China and Saudi Arabia have indicated that they will provide much of the required 5 billion-6 billion dollars in co-financing, paving the way for the board decision. Impacts The benefits of the reforms to be undertaken as part of the IMF programme will take time to become apparent. The main potential benefits are higher growth, lower fiscal and external deficits, more investment and increased job creation. There is a risk of inflation rising even higher, growth remaining sluggish and unemployment and poverty increasing. The negative aspects of the reforms could stoke further resentment at both the government and Sisi.

The article deals with the current issues of cadastral valuation reliability on the example of Tambov region. The authors consider the genesis of development of cadastral valuation institute and the related matters. The problems of cadastral valuation result from the imbalance of the taxation system because property and land taxes are a few real local taxes. That is why local authorities solve the problem of the development of the local tax base by means of systematic overestimating cadastral value. In article analyses certain problems of cadastral valuation, such as procedural aspects and statistics of contesting cadastral valuation, accounting and singling out of a value added tax in the fnal result of valuation along with the arising conflicts of interest between the regional and federal authorities.

AbstractIntegrated economic models have become popular for assessing climate change. In this paper we show how these methods can be used to assess the impact of a discard ban in a fishery. We state that a discard ban can be understood as a confiscatory tax equivalent to a value-added tax. Under this framework, we show that a discard ban improves the sustainability of the fishery in the short run and increases economic welfare in the long run. In particular, we show that consumption, capital and wages show an initial decrease just after the implementation of the discard ban then recover after some periods to reach their steady-sate values, which are 16–20% higher than the initial values, depending on the valuation of the landed discards. The discard ban also improves biological variables, increasing landings by 14% and reducing discards by 29% on the initial figures. These patterns highlight the two channels through which discard bans affect a fishery: the tax channel, which shows that the confiscation of landed discards reduces the incentive to invest in the fishery; and the productivity channel, which increases the abundance of the stock. Thus, during the first few years after the implementation of a discard ban, the negative effect from the tax channel dominates the positive effect from the productivity channel, because the stock needs time to recover. Once stock abundance improves, the productivity channel dominates the tax channel and the economic variables rise above their initial levels. Our results also show that a landed discards valorisation policy is optimal from the social welfare point of view provided that incentives to increase discards are not created.
