Actual
problems of tax administration in the Republic of Kazakhstan
In order to more deeply understand the
essence of tax payments, it is important to define the basic principles of
taxation, which are formulated by Adam Smith in the form of four positions,
four pillars, one might say, become classical principles, which, as a rule, the
authors agree to the following. They are as follows:
1. The subject states have to participate in
a covering of expenses of the government, everyone whenever possible, i.e. in
proportion to the income which it uses under protection of the government.
Observance of this situation or neglect to them conducts to so-called equality
or an inequality of taxation.
2. The tax which is obliged to pay everyone,
has to be precisely defined, but isn't made. The tax size, time and a way of
its payment have to be clear and known both to the payer, and any another...
3. Each tax has to be raised in such time and
in such a way what are most convenient for the payer...
4. Each tax has to be arranged so that it
took from a pocket of the payer perhaps less in excess of what page 35 comes to
cash desks of the state [1].
Adam Smith’s principles,
thanks to their simplicity and clarity, don't demand any other explanations and
illustrations, except what contain in them, they became «axioms» of a tax
policy.
Today these principles are expanded and added
according to spirit of modern times. The modern principles of the taxation of
many countries turned out are as follows:
1. Level of a tax rate has to be established
taking into account opportunities of the taxpayer, i.e. level of the income.
The tax on the income has to be progressive (that is the more the income, the
bigger percent from it is paid in a type of tax). This principle is observed
not always, some taxes in many countries pay off in proportion (the rate of a
tax is identical to all assessed sums).
2. It is necessary to make all efforts that
the taxation of the income had single character. Repeated taxation of the
income or the capital is inadmissible. Replacement in the developed countries
of a sale tax where taxation of a turn happened on the accruing curve, on value
added tax where again created pure product is assessed with a tax only once up
to its realization is an example of implementation of this principle.
3. Obligation of payment of taxes. The tax
system shouldn’t leave doubts at the taxpayer in
inevitability of payment.
4. The system and procedure of payment of
taxes have to be simple, clear and convenient for taxpayers and economic for
the institutions collecting taxes.
5. The tax system has to be flexible and to
the changing political requirements which are easily adapted to.
6. The tax system has to provide
redistribution of the created internal gross product and to be the effective
tool of the state economic policy [2, p. 42].
Besides, the scheme of payment of a tax has
to be available to perception of the taxpayer, and the taxable object has to
have protection against double or threefold taxation.
The tax law of the Republic of Kazakhstan is
based on the principles:
1. Obligation of payment of taxes and other
obligatory payments in the budget.
2. Definiteness.
3. Justice of the taxation.
4. Unities of tax system.
5. Publicity of the tax law.
Provisions of the tax law of the Republic of
Kazakhstan can’t contradict the principles of the taxation
established by the present Code.
1. The principle of obligation of the
taxation - the Taxpayer is obliged to fulfill tax obligations according to the
tax law in full and in established periods [3, p. 4].
2. The principle of definiteness of the
taxation - Taxes and other obligatory payments in the budget of the Republic of
Kazakhstan have to be certain. Definiteness of the taxation means possibility
of establishment in the tax law of all bases and an order of emergence,
execution and termination of tax obligations of the taxpayer.
3. The principle of justice of the taxation -
the Taxation in the Republic of Kazakhstan is general and obligatory. Granting
tax privileges of individual character is forbidden.
4. The principle of unity of tax system - Tax
system of the Republic of Kazakhstan is uniform in all territory of the
Republic of Kazakhstan concerning all taxpayers.
5. The principle of publicity of the tax law
- the Regulations regulating taxation questions are subject to obligatory
publication in official publications [4, p. 5].
Stability and mobility is inherent in taxes
at the same time. The system of the taxation is stabler, the businessman feels
more surely: it can in advance and is rather exact calculate what effect of
implementation of this or that economic decision, the carried-out transaction, financial
operation will be. Uncertainty − the enemy of business. Without knowing
well what conditions and rates of the taxation in the forthcoming period will
be, it is impossible to calculate, what part of the expected profit will go to
the budget and what will get to the businessman.
Stability of tax system doesn't mean that
structure of taxes, rates, privileges, sanctions can be established once and
for all. The «stiffened» systems of the taxation aren’t present and
can’t be. Any system of the taxation reflects character of a social order,
state of the economy of the country, stability of a socio-political situation,
degree of trust of the population to the government − and all this at the
time of its introduction. In process of change of the specified and other
conditions the tax system ceases to meet requirements imposed to it, conflicts
to objective conditions of development of a national economy. In this regard in
tax system in general or its separate elements (rates, privileges, etc.) are
made necessary changes.
The combination of stability and dynamism,
mobility of tax system is reached by that within a year no changes (except for
elimination of obvious mistakes) are made; the structure of tax system (the
list of taxes and payments) has to be stable within several years. The system
of the taxation can be considered stable and, respectively, favorable for
business activity if there are invariable basic principles of the taxation,
structure of tax system, the most significant privileges and sanctions (if,
naturally, thus rates of taxes don't go beyond economic feasibility). Private
changes can annually be made, but thus it is desirable that they were
established and were known to businessmen at least a month before the beginning
of new business year. For example, a condition of the budget for the next year,
existence of budget deficit and its expected sizes can define expediency of
decrease on 2-3 points or need of increase on 2-3 points of rates of income tax
or the income. Such private changes don't break stability of system of
managing, but at the same time don't interfere with effective business
activity.
