Corporate tax burden in the concept of an allowance for corporate equity (ACE)

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to analyze quantitatively the effects of an allowance for corporate equity on the tax burden of corporations in Poland. A microsimulation approach is implemented. It is based on the information from single financial statements of 222 companies, which were selected randomly from the InfoCredit database. The distribution of the changes in the individual tax burden diverges strongly across firms. If only an ACE is introduced, without any adjustments of the nominal corporate income tax rate, the vast majority of firms, which amounts to 95%, benefits from the reform. In case the tax rate is higher in order to neutralize the fall in the tax due, the tax burden of nearly 36% of companies increases.Taxation of income from capital gains raises a lot of controversy. These revenues have a different creature than other income, which is why the purpose of this article is to present the arguments for the specific treatment of this source of revenues, which should be reflected in preferential taxation of income from capital gains in Poland. The analysis of existing models of taxation of individuals, the circumstances for preferential taxation of income from capital gains and the legal status that was in force in this area in Poland, made itpossible to draw a conclusion about the necessity of tax law regulations relating to this matter and introducing the necessary changes.
