Transfer Pricing in Transition Economies: Evidence from Ukraine

Faced with possibilities and challenges of doing business under different regulatory regimes, transnational corporations have developed a number of transfer mechanisms to take advantage of profit maximization opportunities. Transfer pricing is a transfer mechanism widely used by transnational corporations. Implications of transfer pricing for profitability and the need for transfer pricing regulation are well understood by national governments, which is reflected in the fact that more than 60 governments have introduced some form of transfer pricing controls. Transfer pricing is a challenging issue for transition economies as their transfer pricing regulatory systems are less mature than those of developed countries. The authors have initiated an empirical study on transfer pricing strategies in the Ukrainian market. In addition, the national regulatory regime for transfer pricing was evaluated compared to international best practices. This article is an attempt to draw attention of the research community and Ukrainian policy-makers to transfer pricing issues in Ukraine.

Tax evasion and emotions: An empirical test of re-integrative shaming theory

Shaming can be either of two types, shaming that becomes stigmatization of the offender and favors his exclusion from the community, or shaming that is followed by forgiveness and reintegration of the deviant. Here we test experimentally these aspects of shaming theory with a repeated tax-payment game, in which the shaming “ritual” consisted of displaying the evader’s picture in addition to charging monetary sanctions. Results show that when cheating is made public and the contravener is not successively reintegrated, the total amount of cheating is significantly increased compared to when cheating is made public but publicity is immediately followed by reintegration. The former condition is associated with more intense negative emotions related to cheating. This suggests that the employment of a social shaming mechanism may be an effective, albeit very sensitive, tool in the hands of policy makers.

改革并完善中国船舶吨税制度的若干思考

当前世界各海运大国普遍采用现代船舶吨税制度,以促进国际贸易发展。中国航运业大而不强,税收负担较重,"方便旗"问题未能根本解决,不仅阻碍了企业的可持续发展,也制约了中国对外贸易的进一步繁荣。因此,借鉴国际经验,采用现代吨税计算方法,以船舶吨税代替企业所得税,完善配套税制设计,建立中国现代船舶吨税制度,对于提升企业竞争力、助力企业"走出去"具有重要意义。     

试论晋察冀抗日根据地的救国公粮制度

抗日战争时期,晋察冀边区政府为适应敌后游击战争的特殊需要,创设了一整套不同于传统完粮纳税形式的救国公粮制度,它包括统一累进的征收原则、藏粮于民的储存办法、凭票领粮的支取方式。救国公粮制度的制定与实施,不仅改善了晋察冀抗日根据地的财政状况,保证了晋察冀抗日部队和政府机关的粮食供给,而且还为其他敌后根据地解决粮食问题树立了典范,成为中国共产党领导的抗日根据地坚持持久抗战的重要的物质保障。     

以家庭为单位征收个人所得税

个人所得税的征收,最原始的目的就是想通过税收的形式达到全社会的公平公正,目前世界上很多发达国家都采用以家庭为单位计征个人所得税,而我国尚未实施。我国目前仍就采用分税制来征收个人所得税,以家庭为单位征收个人所得税是必然趋势,相信在不远的未来,我国必然实施这种征收方式。

社会战乱对汉唐间农业税制嬗变影响的分析

汉唐间农业税制在中国农业税制史上的地位是非常显著的,不仅因其具有较长时段之实行,而且在于对同时期的日本农业税制及此后的中国农业税制产生了重大影响,但其嬗变却是社会战乱作用和推动的结果。在籍人口大量减耗迫使政府把课税方式人丁化,田地大规模荒芜促使其建立均田制,谷帛极其短缺致使其征收实物。
