Study Notes

Tax Accounting

Tax is primarily imposed to cover public expenses, distinguishing it from fines for law violations. Fines aim to deter offenses, while taxes become state revenue.
Tax application scope encompasses time, location, assets, and individuals subject to the law.
Temporal scope defines when a tax law takes effect. Typically, laws are applied from the date of enactment, unless otherwise specified, avoiding retroactive application.
Spatial scope refers to the geographic area where tax laws apply. It's based on two main criteria.
- Political affiliation: Nationality ties a state to its citizens, creating a political and legal relationship. This connection dictates obligations like tax payment in exchange for state protection (both domestically and internationally).
- Economic affiliation: This criterion is less clear and not fully elaborated.
