Existing researches on tax efficiency of environmental taxes mostly focuses on taxes imposed on the consumption process of the final output, or goods that create pollution during the input process of intermediate goods. The assumption here is that there is a significant relation between the consumption of polluting goods and the pollution itself. However, in reality they are not identical. This signifies that the above assumption may distort the actual results. This study classifies environmental tax into two different forms, output tax and emission tax. Theformer is the tax that is imposed on the consumption of polluting goods, while the latter is directly levied onto the emission of pollution. It then compares the efficiency of these taxes through the computational general equilibrium simulations. After analyzing the simulation, it was proven that the direct imposition on pollution, or environmental tax as emission tax, was more effective in terms of tax efficiency. Furthermore, these results were revealed as irrelevant to the assumption of homotheticity in utility function. Thus, if market-distortionary tax already exist, then the effectiveness of revenue neutral environmental tax reform will be sensitive to the assumption of homotheticity for utility function. However, environmental taxes as emission taxes have been shown to be more effective in tax efficiency than output taxes.

We investigate the association between tax strategy and investment efficiency focusing on manager's investment decision. Specifically, we examine the effect of manager's tax avoidance on the firm's investment level. The result show that as the degree of tax avoidance becomes higher firm's over investment increases. This result implies that the available resources generated from firm's tax avoidance induces over investment. Prior researches have been interested in the effects of firm's tax strategy on firm value. However, there is little literatures regarding the effects of firm's tax strategy on management's real investment decisions which provides the important implications about the mechanisms between tax strategy and firm value. In this respect, our research provides a meaningful results which demonstrates the effects of firm's tax strategy on manager's real investment decisions. This will provide useful implications for the investors and government regarding manager's tax avoidance behavior.

IMF이후 경제회생을 위한 구조조정과 더불어 조세제도의 개편 움직임도 활발하다. 납세자들로부터 조세제도나 조세정책을 올바르게 평가받으려면 첫째, 세부담의 형평성이 있어야 하고 둘째, 경제적 효율을 높일 수 있어야 하며 셋째, 단순하고 시행하기 쉬워야한다는 기준 아래 개편이 이루어져야 한다.

This study analyzed the index change in efficiency and productivity for the tax reorganization project of the regional headquarters of Korea Asset Management Corporation using panel data for 3 years from 2017 to 2019 using the DEA-Malmquist analysis model. According to the DEA analysis result, the average of the efficiency by the CCR model of the regional headquarters tax reorganization project of the Korea Asset Management Corporation was 0.671 in 2017, 0.772 in 2018, and 0.699 in 2019, and the average of the efficiency by the BCC model was 0.798 in 2017, 0.851 in 2018 and 0.771 in 2019. As a result of analyzing the Malmquist productivity index, the time series average productivity index MPI increased by 4.5%. These results appear to be attributable to the increase in technological efficiency, technological change, and scale-efficiency change rather than the decrease in net efficiency change. Looking at the change in MPI by year, it decreased by 14.6% in 2017-2018, but increased significantly to 27.8% in 2018-2019. Through the results of DEA analysis of specific tax projects of public corporations, each regional headquarters of Korea Asset Management Corporation will be able to contribute to reinforcing business capabilities through mutual benchmarking.

The government aims at promoting the national growth and heightening efficiency through the creativity economy. This study focus on the effectiveness(difference of the tax bearance) of tax-aid system(tax-reduction and tax-deduction) for the venture firms and small & medium firms. Sampling of this study was collected through what had been recorded to the enterprise information service of Korcham(venture firms), DB of Small & Medium Business Administration Authority from 2010 to 2012, and opened information of the KOSDAQ Association. The results were as follows. Firstly, There exists differences in the tax bearance rate between the tax-aided corporation and the tax-nonaided corporation through venture firms and small & medium firms. Secondly, Venture firms were investigated to bear low tax-bearance rate in contrast to Small & Medium Firms. The results of this study shows that the national tax-aided system is effective, and can be led to another new politics alternatives.

This study examines the international differences in tax compliance and relates these differences to selected determinants of tax morale and Hofstede's Cultural dimensions. The findings of the empirical investigation of data from 38 countries during 5 years(2000-2004) indicate that tax compliance is highest in countries characterized by high economic freedom, high effective competition laws, high government transparency, low shadow Economy, and low power distance. It shows that a powerful deterrent to tax evasion is the creation of a tax morale. Where individuals can exercise their economic rights in terms of economic freedom, important equity market and effective competition laws, in a safe environment that improves their quality of life, they are more prone to view tax compliance as less of a burden and more of a citizenship duty. Our results indicate that policymakers should consider cultural values when designing tax compliance legislation and investigating possible behavior irregularities.

This research shows solutions for relieving the reversibility of the VAT system, and the solutions will be reviewed with current issues about supporting welfare. The Followings provide practical implementing solutions for each issue. Since the VAT is taxed for all goods and services as a general consumption tax, it is efficient tax policy for resource allocation comparing to income tax. On the other hand, because of the reversibility of the tax burden is also treated as a non-effective tax system for fair taxation. Even it is a non-effective tax system, the VAT system takes the most portion from the total national tax. In South Korea economic system, it is hard to raise the VAT rate because the economic effects are tremendous. For the long-term, the possibility of increasing the VAT rate is unavoidable, considering the economy, society, environment and energy, and aging. Therefore, a variety of substituted policies for the reversibility should be covered once there is a conference for the increase in the VAT rate. This research provides foundational solutions by acknowledging the reversibility of the tax burden in terms of the effective value-added tax rate. The followings are four solutions. First, it is required to adjust the duty-free system for relieving the reversibility and expand the tax-free system as well as individual consumption tax items. Second, The relief of reversibility should be worked by imposing higher the tax rate for high-income people' goods and services. Third, the adjustment of the duty-free system could be considered due to relieve the reversibility of the VAT. Last, it is considered to adjust of the simplified taxation system because the simplified taxation system is seriously against the tax-transfer principles.

In this paper, I examine the welfare effects of various revenue-neutral tax reforms in the case of two vertically-related oligopolies(downstream and upstream), where the upstream industry is polluting. I show analytically when and how government can improve welfare by initiating various tax reforms, regardless of either the feasibility of a lump sum transfer or the availability of a tax on pollution. The profit wedge that is the difference between the unit price and the unit cost and the marginal environmental damages(MED) becomes important to decidethe direction of a tax reform and is crucial to determine the direction of welfare-improving tax-subsidy schemes. I also show that a tax on pollution(Pigouvian tax) is superior to a tax on intermediate good even in the case of vertically-related oligopolies, because the former always brings in positive welfare effect from the upstream firms' input substitutability, which a tax on intermediate good cannot provide. Some policy implications for 'reducing environmentally-harmful subsidies' are also discussed.
