| Summary: | Corporate income tax significantly affects the overall amount of government tax revenue. In spite of
the attention being paid to many macroeconomic indicators (e.g. GDP, inflation, unemployment rate,
etc.) influencing the total amount of tax revenues influence, we can hardly find empirical research
focused on the microeconomic view where the data is based on of the individual financial statements
and tax returns of companies. Although the study is very practical, it assesses the extent of the mutual
co-dependence between the corporate income tax and assorted variables via non-parametric correlation.
Moreover, it presents the impact of the corporate income tax on the national tax revenue of the Slovak
Republic within the sample of evaluated taxpayers operating in agriculture, forestry and fishing in
2011-2015 from SK NACE Rev. 2 section “A” category of companies as legal entities ‒ Agriculture,
forestry and fishing in 2011-2015. The study theoretically contributes to microeconomic-based view
grounded on the adequate data of the legal entities, which were obtained from the corporate income tax
returns provided by the Slovak Republic’s Financial Directorate.
The authors found out a significant rate of dependency between selected evaluated variables in all
groups in the reviewed period. This dependency, especially between total income and tax base, as well
as between total income and corporate income tax, is an essential part of the accounting result
determined in the double-entry bookkeeping. The reliance is also the basis for the income tax base
calculation from which the adjusted tax base is declared, and subsequently the corporate income tax is
calculated. Research results tell the corporate income tax revenue of our sample makes up for, largely,
1.6% of the total tax revenue flowing to the Slovak national budget. Therefore, a set of
recommendations was put forth in order to strive for a maximization of these tax revenues within the
agricultural sector |
