Improvementoftaxreturns,simplificationoftaxpaymentsDuringthelastyearsinrelationtoimprovementoftaxreturnstherewascarriedoutconsistentwork,theformsoftaxreturnswerechanged,theircapacitywasenlargedandthenumberofinformationlineswasincreased.

Therewasimprovedtheprocessofsubmissionofdeclarationstoataxauthority,andcreatedanopportunityfortaxpayerstosubmitdeclarationsdirectlyviaelectroniccarriers.Withintheframeofdevelopmentofthetaxsystem,theimprovementoftaxdeclarationsandsimplificationoftheircompositionisregu-larlycarriedout.Inmajorityofdevelopedcountriesdifferentdeclarationforms,fromsimpletothecomplexonesareappliedaccordingtothestatus,typeandamountofincome,sothenecessityandimportanceofstudyofthisexperienceshouldbeconsidered.

Againstthebackgroundoftheenlargementofelectronicservicesrenderedtotaxpayers,reducingthetimespentonfulfillmentoftaxobligations,improve-mentandsimplificationoftaxpaymentprocessisoneofimportantfactorsthatpositivelyaffectentrepreneurialactivityandbudgetreceipts.Thiscreatesanopportunityforminimizingthepercentagecalculatedontaxesforlatepaymentandthus,todecreasethefinanciallossoftaxpayers.

Inmajorityofcountriesinordertosimplifythetaxpayment,thereisgivenastrictattentiontotheuseoftechnologicalmeans.Ifusedcorrectly,electronicpaymentsystemsfastentheprocess,improvedatacollectionanddecreasetheleveloferrors.Forexample,intheUSAduring2009,theleveloferrorsinelectronicdeclarationswas1%;inpaperformwas20%.

Taxpayersshouldcompletelyrelyonpaymentsystems,atthesametime,thereshouldexistlawsonprotectionofinformationsecrecyandapplicationofelec-tronicsignature.Electronicpaymentcanbecarriedoutindifferentways,includ-ingpaymentviainternet.Atthepresentstagethereshouldbegivenpreferencetorealizationofpaymentsbytaxpayersviaacceptionstallsthatareconsideredlessrisky.

Intheinternationalexperiencetheindicatoroftimespentonfulfillmentoftaxobligationsconsistsoftimespentonpreparationandsubmissionoftaxreturnsandpayment(orwithholdingatthesourceofpayment)onthreemaintypeoftaxes–profittax(corporateincome),VAT(ortaxfromsales),andtaxesfromwages(includingtaxesfromsalariesandsocialdeductions).TheanalysisofWorldBanktheDoingBusinessgrouponthecalculationoftimespentonfulfill-mentoftheseobligationsandnextthreeactivities-“preparationoftaxreturns”,

PreventivemeasuresonminimizingandemergenceoftaxdebtsConsideringnegativeeffectsofnon-timepaymentoftaxestothebudgetestab-lishedbythelegislation,andspendingconsiderabletimeandresourcestotheenforcementprocessescarriedoutbytaxauthorities,theincreaseofthelevelofvoluntarycompliancehasaspecialimportance.

Inordertominimizetaxdebtsandreachsuccessontheirprevention,itisnecessarytoprovidetaxpayerswithconcretelegal,methodicalandtechnicalassistancealongwiththeirgeneralinformationandenlightenment.

AccordingtothisConception,themeasuresrelatedtoincreaseofthecoef-ficientoftimelyfulfillmentoftaxliabilitiesbytaxpayers,decreaseofrisksofemergenceoftaxdebt,consistofthefollowing:

• Analysisofthedynamicsoftaxdebtsondifferentperiodsandtaxes,determi-nationofreasonsofemergenceofthesedebts,

Inmanydevelopedcountriesoutofcourt(beforecourt)settlementofappealsorarguesrelatedtotaxesisusuallycarriedoutbytheappealsystemworkingattaxadministrations.

Duetonot-existenceofspecializedtaxcourtsinourrepublic,settlementofalltaxarguesineconomiccourts,causestimelossandexpenditureofotherresourcesbothfortaxpayers,andfortaxauthorities.

Creationofamoreperfectappealsystemfortaxpayerswasforeseenbythe“StateProgramonimprovementoftaxadministrationintheRepublicofAzerbai-jan(2005-2007)”,theexperienceofdevelopedcountrieswasstudiedduringthepastperiodandtheTaxAppealBoardoftheMinistryofTaxeswasfounded.Withthepurposeofathoroughprotectionoftaxpayersrights,improvementofworkonconsiderationofcomplaints,therewereapprovedtheRegulationsonTaxAppealBoardoftheMinistryofTaxes,thestructureoftheTaxAppealBoardwasenlargedandthepermanentsecretariatwascreated.

Bycreatingsuchsystem,theMinistryofTaxescarriesoutacentralizedcollec-tionofenteredcomplaintsinasinglestructure,strengtheningthecontrolovertheirconsiderationinanorder,determinedbythelegislation,reflectingtheposi-tionofataxauthoritybasingonasingleapproachmethod.

AttheTaxAppealBoard,thecomplaintsoftaxpayerswhoarenotsatisfiedwithdecisions,writtenanswersrelatedtocomplaintsorappealsexaminedbyfunctionaldepartmentsofCentralApparatusoftheMinistryofTaxes(excludingapplicationsrelatedtooffencesoncorruptionandothersfromthisaspect)areconsidered.

WiththepurposeofexaminationofdiscontentsandcomplaintsoftaxpayersondisputablequestionsinrelationtodeskauditthroughBakucity,thereoperatesanAppealdivision.

Inordertoimprovethetaxappealsystemconstantlyitisproposed:

• theprovisionofefficiencyandtransparencyinconsiderationofappeals,• therealizationofpurposefulworksinthedirectionofinformingofcommunity

Advantagesofaperfecttaxappealsystemandexpectedresults:

• provisionofobjectivecharacterinconsiderationofcomplaintsreceivedfromtaxpayers

• increaseoftrustandfaithoftaxpayersontaxauthorities• increaseofresponsibilityoftaxauthorityemployeesforobjectiveandcorrect

ImprovementoforganizationoftaxpayerserviceWhentalkingaboutefficientorganizationoftaxpayerservice,itmentionsthedeterminationofthespectrumofrenderedservicestotaxpayers,criteriaofren-deringtheseservices,standardsoneachcase(service)andcomplyingwithit.

Consistenceofenforcedcollectionprocessbytaxauthoritiesfromaseveralstages,applicationoflotsofmaterial-technicalandhumanresourcestothiswork,andnon-reflectionofdebtamountsintheactuallydeterminedtimeframes,makesitnecessarytodeveloptheprocessofvoluntarycomplianceconstantly.

Developmentoftheprocessofvoluntarycompliance,initsturnrequiresdeterminationofthelevelofcompliancewithtaxlegislationbytaxpayersandconductingspecialmeasuresamongcertainlevelgroups.

Taxpayersaredividedtothefollowinggroupsinrelationtothelevelofcompli-ancewith(obedience)taxlegislation:Taxpayers-

• complying,• partiallycomplying,• notcomplying,withthetaxlegislation.

Taxpayerscomplyingwiththetaxlegislationbesidesforbeingdisciplined,gener-allycompletetheirtaxobligationsintime,submitreportsandothernecessarydataandareinclinedtomasterchangesoccurredinthetaxsystem.Theredonotoccuranyproblemsindispatchofdata,applicationofinnovationstothisgroupofpayers,whoserelationswithtaxauthorities,baseonahealthycoop-eration.

Themostnotablegroupisthegroupoftaxpayerswhopartiallycomplywithtaxlegislation.Workwiththisgroupofpayersisconsideredimportantbecause

16

thereareopportunitiestoenterthemtothefirstgroup(complyingwithtaxlegis-lation)anditisdirectlyrelatedtotheefficiencyoftheworkcarriedoutwiththem.Foreseenmeasuresforthisgroupmostlyhaveapreventivecharacter.Inordertoincreasethelevelofvoluntarycomplianceofthesetaxpayersandstimulatethiswork,alongwithaddressedinformingandtaxenlightenment,itisproposedtoshowthemspecifictaxservices,legal,methodicalandtechnicalassistanceinthesphereofcompliancewiththelaws.

Thistimeitisnecessarytoanalyzethedebtsoflegalentitiesandphysicalpersons,actinginthestateandprivatesector,industry,productionandotherspheres,researchofthescopeandreasonsofnon-payment,andalsotodeterminesmalldebtamounts,liquidatesuchdebtsoftaxpayersandpreventtheiremergenceinthefuture,besidesforenlightenment,renderthemasagrouporpersonally,adviseandactiveassistanceinanorderdeterminedbythelegislation.

Thethirdgroup–arethetaxpayerswhodonotobeythetaxlegislationandworkwiththisgroupinthementionedabovedirections,doesnotgiveanyef-ficiency.Theundisciplinedcharacterofthesetaxpayersdoesnotcomefromthelackofinformation,butfromthepurposetowillinglyevadefromthepaymentoftaxes.Inordertopreventsuchcases,itisnecessarytotoughenthelegislationforthosewhoarenotcomplyingwithtaxdiscipline,includingtheprocessofenforcedcollectionoftaxdebts.

Anotherdirectionofshowingtaxpayerspurposefulservicesisthesystemofapplicationofdirectionalinformationmechanisms,byclassifyingthemintoseg-mentsandgroups.Wheninforminglargeandmiddleenterprises–taxpayers,thereareusuallyusedelectroniccorrespondence,internetpageoftheMinistryofTaxesandopportunitiesofmassmediaandthedistributionofbrochures,bookletsandotherprintingmaterialsaremorepreferable,whileinformingofsmallenterprisesandpersonalentrepreneursopportunitiesof“195”TISandmassmediaareusedmorefrequently.Generally,thereshouldbepaidmoreattentiontotheaddresseddeliveryofinformation.

Oneoftheimportantfactorsthatincreasetheefficiencyoforganizationoftaxpayerserviceisthedeterminationofsinglestandardsofthespectrumofrenderedservices,criteriaoftheirrenderingoneachcase(service)andcompli-ancewiththesedeterminedstandardsbyalltaxauthorities.Singlestandardsonservicecoveranyrelationbetweenataxauthorityandtaxpayer,responsestoapplications,documentationandofficialregisterservices,exceptofaudit-control,obligatorycollectionoftaxdebtsprocesses.

Applicationofsingletaxpayerservicestandardsintaxauthorities,serviceandoperatingroomsoftaxauthoritybuildings,andalsoattaxpayerserviceterminals,willcauseincreaseofqualityandefficiencyofservicesrenderedtotaxpayersthroughoutthewholecountry.Establishmentofmultifunctionalserviceandope-ratingroomsinthebuildingsoftaxauthorities,renderingservices(coordination,information,registration,serviceonCCM,debts,paymentsandetc.)inasingleplaceandcoordinationorder,isthemaintermofmoderntaxadministration.
