Study Notes

Taxation Systems

Direct taxation is a system where the state directly intervenes in the income and assets of organizations and individuals, taking into account their circumstances, conditions, and ability to contribute, making it effective in regulating income and reducing income and asset disparities among different social classes.
Direct taxation has the advantage of being more effective in regulating income and reducing income disparities, but it also has the disadvantage of being easy to evade and causing strong reactions from taxpayers if the tax rate is set too high.
Indirect taxation is a system where producers, merchants, or service providers pay taxes to the state through increased prices for consumers.
Indirect taxation has the advantage of being less resistant to tax increases and providing a stable source of revenue for the state, but it also has the disadvantage of not being able to ensure social justice, as it does not take into account the circumstances of the taxpayers.

Tax Rates

Progressive tax rates are a system where different levels of income are taxed at different rates, with higher income levels being taxed at higher rates.
The whole-part progressive tax rate is a system where the entire income is taxed at a higher rate once it reaches a certain level.
The advantage of this system is that it is easier to calculate the tax amount, but it also has the disadvantage of causing significant changes in the total tax amount, leading to unfairness in the remaining income after tax.

Tax Exemptions

Tax exemptions are special cases where taxpayers are exempt from paying taxes or are given a reduced tax rate, often to encourage economic development or due to exceptional circumstances such as natural disasters or social policies.
Examples of tax-exempt goods and services include:
- Goods and services sold to organizations, individuals, and international organizations for humanitarian aid.
- Goods and services sold to subjects exempt from diplomatic immunity.
- Life insurance, health insurance, and other insurance services related to humans and animals.
- Medical services, veterinary services, and education services.
- Publishing, importing, and distributing newspapers, magazines, and specialized books.

Tax Authorities

The General Department of Taxation is responsible for managing tax collection and has undergone changes in its organizational structure and functions over the years.
The system of customs agencies, which were previously under the Government, have been reorganized and are now under the Ministry of Finance, responsible for managing taxes on imported and exported goods.

Customs Agencies

Customs agencies were previously under the Government but were transferred to the Ministry of Finance in 2002.
The organizational structure and functions of customs agencies have undergone changes over the years to adapt to the country's economic development and integration.
