Reforma veřejných financí ve světle předvolebního návrhu ODS

In this work I would like to evaluate government's reform about public finances, everything what was agreed upon and voted for by the end of 2007. At the same time I would like to compare that to the original pre-election proposal by the Civic Democratic Party and government's declaration by Mirek Topolanek coalition's party. In my work I will concentrate mainly on revenue of state budget, where the most impact manifest of the fiscal reforms is seen. The main differences are consolidation of tax brackets for individuals and also changes in rates of VAT, lowering corporate taxes and introduction of ecology taxes. Even though this reform appear like the straight taxes from the pre-election program from ODS, this form is only similar in tax brackets, but not by other structural tax provisions. On the side of current expenses was government less bold. On this issue, they enforced only small differences in the transfer expenditure, where they discontinue few pre-election populist statues, even though almost no changes were done in this section so far. This proposal in pre-election for negative tax was much more bold and interesting, because here together with the tax system the state could safe money and also be a motivation for people to work. Purpose of work is outlining other necessary steps in the reform process for public finances and also in area of financing of public medical system, retirement system and changes in budgetary allocation of taxes.
