Do tax policies discriminate against female traders? A gender framework to study informal marketplaces in Nigeria

2022

Scholars have long debated formalizing the informal sector through taxation, but how do these processes affect gender inequalities? Our study in Nigerian markets contributes a gender framework to the equitable taxation literature on formalization. The study draws on a survey of 451 traders in 12 markets, key informant interviews, and ethnographic research in four markets of two states. We find that in at least two situations taxation policies discriminated against women implicitly: (1) male tax collectors had higher incidences of harassment on all traders and (2) taxing traders with flat taxes penalized women, as they earned less than men but were taxed the same.长期以来，学者们一直在辩论通过税收将非正式部门正规化，但…

A Strategic Management Approach to the Problems of EU taxation

2004

This paper adopts a strategic management approach (objectives, strategy, structure, control) to the study of the European Union's taxation problems. Union of States have some strengths vis-a-vis individual States. However, to ensure that all States benefit, they need constant redistribution. As opposed to fiscal problems of unitary states, Unions of States have additional problems related to their differentiated organizational form, and hence they need integrating control mechanisms. This paper studies the EU taxation in view of the above notions common to the literature on fiscal federalism. We find that a strategic management approach can be applied to highlight the problems of taxation i…

Permanent establishment in corporate taxation in the digital era

Thus, resulting in harmful use of permanent establishment principle for tax planning purposes, which has led to profit shifting away from the high-tax jurisdiction to low-tax juri…

Exploitation of cryptocurrencies as a tool for tax evasion: technological and regulatory issues

2020

Tax evasion is a crime that harms the national economies, society and indirectly affects all the residents of each state.

Digital age and corporate taxation. European Union on the way to create a unilateral digital taxation regime

2019

The digitalization of the economy has rapidly changed the outlook of the business models today. It is no longer necessary for an entity to be located within a country to generate enormous amounts of revenues deriving from it. At the same time, the corporate taxation principles have not changed in order to adopt to this situation- when establishing the place of taxation they do not take into the consideration where the consumers are located. Thereby, an unfair treatment towards Member States has been created as today large revenues for big tech companies can be created within their territory without having a burden to pay a tax. Answering to the global discussion the European Commission has …
