우리나라 조세행정의 문제점에 대해서는 그동안 여러 측면에서 논의가 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구는 이러한 문제점들 가운데 징세당 국의 재량적 과세행위에 초점을 맞추고자 한다. 재량적 과세행위는 조세수입의 감소를 초래할 수 있으며 재정의 경기안정화기능을 약화시킬 수 있다. 예를 들어, 경기가 예상외로 활성화되어 징세노력을 특별히 강화하지 않더라도 예산상 정해진 세수를 쉽게 확보할 수 있는 경우, 당국이 실제로 징세노력을 덜 기울인다면 조세수입이 감소하고 경기안정화기능이 약화된다. 징세당국의 재량적 과세행위를 자료에서 포착하는 방법은 직관적으로 간단하다. 즉, 세수방정식에 일반적으로 사용되는 변수들 (경상성장률 등) 외에 예산상의 세수목표 또는 예상했던 성장률을 독립변수로서 추가로 포함시키면 된다. 이들 변수들이 실제세수를 설명하는 변수로서 역할을 한다면 이러한 요인에 따라 징세노력이 변한다고 결론지을 수 있다. 본고의 추정결과에 따르면 실제성장률이 예상성장률보다 높으면 징세노력이 약화되고, 반대로 실제성장률이 예상성장률보다 낮으면 징세노력이 강화되는 경향이 나타난다. 이러한 경향은 소득세, 상속세, 부가가치세의 경우에 현저하며, 다른 세목에서는 별로 보이지 않는다. 만일 경기변동에 따라 당국이 징세노력을 강화시키거나 약화시키지 않았다면 이들 3개 세목에서 추가로 징수할 수 있었던 조세수입은 1980~98년간 평균적으로 GDP 대비 0.2%에 달하였을 것으로 추정된다. 또한 외국과 유사한 수준으로 재정수지의 경기안정화기능이 강화되었을 것으로 추정된다.

관세는 국가가 조세법률주의의 원칙에 따라 법률에 의하여 국가재정의 수입 또는 국내산업의 보호를 목적으로 수입물품에 대하여 부과하는 조세이다. 관세의 전제가 되는 관세선(custom line)은 관세에 관한 법률규제가 이루어지는 경계로서, 정치적 경계인 국경선(national frontier)과 일치하는 것이 일반적이지만 반드시 일치하는 것은 아니다. 정치적으로는 자국의 영역이라도 관세제도상으로는 타국의 영역과 동일하게 다루어지는 자유무역지역, 그와 반대로 정치적으로는 타국의 영역일지라도 관세제도상으로는 자국의 영역과 다름없는 보세구역이나 관세동맹국 등이 있기 때문이다.

In Korea, nuclear power plants are major sources of electricity supply with relatively low costs. Despite the importance and scale of nuclear electricity generation, the Korean tax and levy system is less organized than those in other countries, such as France and Japan, where nuclear power plants also play significant roles for electricity supply. Countries impose tax on nuclear electricity generation roughly in three ways: tax on nuclear reactors; tax on uranium fuel; tax on electricity from nuclear power plants. The Korean government may consider taxing nuclear electricity generation based on uranium fuel or electricity generation. If taxing on uranium fuel at the rate of 90 KRW per milligram of uranium, the Korean government can collect additional tax revenue of 430 billion KRW. If taxing on electricity from nuclear power plants at the rate of 11 KRW per kilowatt-hour, the government can collect additional tax revenue of 1,600 billion KRW.

This study proposed scenarios of tax reform regarding taxation on bituminous coal for power generation since July 2015 and July 2014, estimated its impact on SMP, settlement price, tax revenue from year 2015 to year 2029. These scenarios are compared with those of the standard scenario. To estimate them, the power system simulation was performed based on the government plan, such as demand supply program and the customized model to fit Korea's power system and operation. Imposing a tax on bituminous coal for power generation while maintaining tax neutrality reducing tax rate on LNG, the short-term SMP is lowered than the one of the standard scenario. Because the cost of nuclear power generation is still smaller than costs of other power generation, and the nuclear power generation rarely determines SMPs, the taxation impact on SMP is almost nonexistent. Thus it is difficult to slow down the electrification of energy consumption due to taxation of power plant bituminous coal in the short term, if SMP and settlement price is closely related. However, in the mid or long term, if the capacity of coal power plant is to be big enough, the taxation of power plant bituminous coal will increase SMP. Therefore, if the tax reform is made to impose on power plant bituminous coal in the short term, and if the tax rate on LNG is to be revised after implementing big enough new power plants using bituminous coal, the energy demand would be reduced by increasing electric charges through energy tax reform. Both imposing a tax on power plant bituminous coal and reducing tax rate on LNG increase settlement price, higher than the one of the standard scenario. In the mid or long term, the utilization of LNG complex power plants would be lower due to an expansion of generating plants, and thus, the tax rate on LNG would not affect on settlement price. Unlike to the impact on SMP, the taxation on nuclear power plants has increased settlement price due to the impact of settlement adjustment factor. The net impact of energy taxation will depend upon the level of offset between settlement price decrease by the expansion of energy supply and settlement price increase by imposing a tax on energy. Among taxable items, the tax on nuclear power plants will increase the most of additional tax revenue. Considering tax revenues in accordance with energy tax scenarios, the higher the tax rate on bituminous coal and nuclear power, the bigger the tax revenues.

The purpose of this study is to present empirical evidence for discussion of financing social welfare via estimating optimal tax burden in the main member countries of the OECD by using Hausman-Taylor method considering endogeneity of explanatory variables. Also, the author produced an international tax comparison index reflecting theoretical hypotheses on revenue-expenditure nexus within a model to compare real tax burden by countries and to examine feasibility of tax increase in Korea. As a result of the analysis, the higher the level of tax burden was, the higher the level of welfare expenditure was, indicating the connection between high burden and high welfare from the aspect of scale. The results also indicated that the subject countries recently entered into the state of low tax burden. Meanwhile, Korea had maintained low burden until the late 1990s but the tax burden soared up since the financial crisis related to the IMF. However, due to the impact of foreign economy and the tax reduction policy, it reentered into the low-burden state after 2009. On the other hand, the degree of social welfare expenditure's reducing tax burden has been gradually enhanced since the crisis. In this context, the current optimal tax burden ratio of Korea as of 2010 may be 25.8%~26.5% of GDP based on input of welfare expenditure variables, a percent that Korea was investigated to be a 'high tax burden-low ITC' country whose tax increase of 0.7~1.4%p may be feasible and that the success of tax system reform for tax increase might be higher probability when compare to others. However, measures of increasing social security contributions and consumption tax were analyzed to be improper from the aspect of managing finance when compared to increase in other tax items, considering the relatively higher ITC. Tax increase is not necessarily required though there may be room for tax increase; the optimal tax burden ratio can be understood as the level that may be achieved on average when compared to other nations, not as the "proper" level. Thus, discussion of tax increase should be accompanied with comprehensive understanding of models of economic developmental difference from nations and institutional & historical attributes included in specific tax mix.

The FTA conventional tariffs shall be applied that the imported goods are subject to the conventional tariffs under any agreement, and the origin of the good is the contracting state in accordance with the criteria for determination origin under any agreement. An importer who intends to be eligible for the application of a conventional tariff shall file a request for the application of a conventional tariff with the head of the competent customs house before the relevant import declaration is accepted. The purpose of this study is to examine the legal standard and verification cases for the judgement of the tax tribunal of FTA conventional tariffs. Through this study, this paper is to provide several implications for companies seeking the benefits of FTA conventional tariffs. The Korean companies to do the following: confirm the effective requirements for direct transport of goods through non-parties under the Korea EU FTA, confirm the criterion for application of conventional tariffs such as certificate of origin and claims for ex post facto conventional tariffs under the Korea US FTA, confirm the issuer of origin declaration and the recognition of origin declaration of bill of lading under the Korea EU FTA, utilize the tax appeal system by denial of FTA conventional tariffs, and prepare the discrepancies in interpretation of legal standard under FTA and FTA Special Customs Act.

This paper compares the economic effects of climate policy options in Korea. The impacts and implications of carbon and Btu tax schemes are analyzed using the META Net modeling system, which was developed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). Findings indicate that carbon tax is more cost effective compared to Btu tax, but this does not necessarily mean the former is more desirable than the latter. Energy market stability and national energy security is equally important in choosing policy options. Moreover Btu tax is more effective in reducing energy consumption in general. It reduces not only carbon intensive energy sources, but non-fossil fuel like electricity. Korean economy consumes too much energy and energy efficiency is very low compared to other OECD countries. So the reduction of energy demand growth should be the first priority of the national energy policy in Korea.
