Wissenschaftlicher Aufsatz aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich VWL - Geldtheorie, Geldpolitik, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The introduction of direct tax has been a vital tool for revenue collection in Ghana. This study reveals that, revenue acquired from this type of tax is considered very crucial in the development of the country, hence a major source of revenue to the government. Direct tax was introduced in Ghana to subject the assessable income of income earners to tax, but unfortunately in Ghana, the collection of tax is confronted with numerous problems and thus tax evasion, tax avoidance, improper books of account, non-compliance of tax laws and inadequate logistics. This research therefore aims at evaluating the effectiveness of direct tax administration in the informal sector in Ghana. Questionnaires were administered to five (5) staff members of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and twenty-five (25) to the traders of the Abossey Okai environs. A simple sampling technique was used to aid in the selection of respondents. Responses from the IRS staff and the traders of the Abossey Okai environs were tabulated and analyzed. The study finds out that the traders in Abossey Okai are ignorant about what direct tax is about. However one major recommendation is for IRS to make it their priority to embark on educational programs for the traders in the Abossey Okai environs in order to enhance the effectiveness of direct tax administration in the informal sector in Ghana.

Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 89, University of Cape Coast, course: Bachelor of commerce in accounting, language: English, abstract: Over the years, Ghana's budgets have suffered perennial deficits partially on account of low domestic tax revenue mobilisation which statistically hover around 18% of Gross Domestic Product. Whilst this downside has several facets, one of the foremost remedies is protecting the domestic tax base. Widening the domestic tax base of the economy has been a subject matter that has received hefty attention of successive Governments over years in most parts of the world. As a matter of reality, various tax authorities in Ghana have created numerous efforts directed at mobilising as much as possible tax revenue to assist government expenditures on developmental, social, recurring and interventional projects over the years. These efforts of tax mobilisation are dear to governments for the achievements of fiscal consolidation and higher tax revenue to Gross Domestic Product ratio. Ghana Revenue Authority's efforts are carefully crafted to tackle the informal sector where there are perceived revenue leakages but still struggling as a result of the inadequacies of the current tax structure to efficiently mobilise revenue from certain industries and sectors of the economy. The concept of the informal sector with its tax liability is considered as a social model mainly used for small, medium and micro enterprises that are quite difficult to be captured by the operations of tax authorities. It is evidently a fact therefore that though the government needs to mobilise tax revenue quite on the aggressive side, tax increases have a decline effect on upper-income households' reported taxable income and indeed more than, decrease moderate-income households' reported income. This is not because upper-income households choose to work less, but because they take advantage of their greater capacity to shift income from on

Modern tax administrations seek to optimize tax collections while minimizing administration costs and taxpayer compliance costs. Experience shows that voluntary compliance is best achieved through a system of self-assessment. Many tax administrations have introduced self-assessment principles in the income tax law but the legal authority is not being consistently applied. They continue to rely heavily on “desk” auditing a majority of tax returns, while risk management practices remain largely underdeveloped and/or underutilized. There is also plenty of opportunity in many countries to enhance the design and delivery of client-focused taxpayer service programs, and better engage with the private sector and other stakeholders.

Around the world, there are concerns that many tax codes are biased against women, and that contemporary tax reforms tend to increase the incidence of taxation on the poorest women while failing to generate enough revenue to fund the programs needed to improve these women's lives. Because taxes are the key source of revenue governments themselves raise, understanding the nature and composition of taxation and current tax reform efforts is key to reducing poverty, providing sufficient revenue for public expenditure, and achieving social justice. This is the first book to systematically examine gender and taxation within and across countries at different levels of development. It presents original research on the gender dimensions of personal income taxes, and value-added, excise, and fuel taxes in Argentina, Ghana, India, Mexico, Morocco, South Africa, Uganda and the United Kingdom. This book will be of interest to postgraduates and researchers studying Public Finance, International Economics, Development Studies, Gender Studies, and International Relations, among other disciplines.
