Factors that drive Female Entrepreneurship in Armenia

Entrepreneurs play a key role in any economy. Entrepreneurship includes creativity, innovation, risk taking, planning and management and is described as transferring ideas into action. Female entrepreneurship, in particular, is considered an important tool in enabling female empowerment and emancipation. In the light of recent world events, this has become a crucial area to study and understand, especially with respect to motivations, obstacles, constraints and consequences of female entrepreneurship. Having the previous framework in attention, this thesis focuses on female entrepreneurship in a developing country - Armenia – and proposes a conceptual framework of the phenomenon. A joint cooperation between the World Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development allowed to conduct an enterprise survey in the country and from that survey a microeconomic dataset was released and applied in this research study. A logistic regression econometric method is applied to the dataset to identify and measure the relationship between female entrepreneurship and several factors such as the location, size, legal status, market and obstacles faced by Armenian firms. The study concludes that women entrepreneurs in Armenia share many common features and obstacles with their male counterparts. Moreover, gender of the top managers, the firm’s location, size, main market type, the number of competitors and full-time employees, the adoption of new marketing methods, the access to land, the tax administration system and an inadequately educated workforce are found to be statistical significant factors in the explanation of female entrepreneurship in Armenia.

O serviço fiscal aduaneiro criminal e contraordenacional da GNR

At a time of global economic instability, to which Portugal is not oblivious, and aware that the main source of Portuguese State revenue relies on the collection of tribute, the National Republican Guard holds within its mission relevant assignments to the protection of the financial interests of the country, in particular, fiscal and customs. These assignments were inherited from the century - old institution Guarda Fiscal - with evidence given in this domain, which was integrated into the National Republican Guard in 1993, to adopt, a 1St model, that held a specialized unit – Brigada Fiscal, with surveillance and patrolling missions of costa and fiscal and customs supervision, throughout the national territory and maritime zone of respect. In 2009, the result of political decisions, reorganization the State's central administration, appears de 2Nd model, because the Brigada Fiscal assignments were divided by two specialized units - UAF with investigation skills, and UCC for patrolling and surveillance of the coast. Analyzed the legal spectrum of special legislation leading the criminal and transgression sector punitive (RGIT), in essence, is in the UAF that resides the role assignments from the scope of the investigation and supervision of goods in the national territory on a par with the tax authority. Tax inspection assignments, fiscal and customs of the National Republican Guard, are unmatched in the National Tribute System, constituting itself as a potentiality of this special body, in similarity of their counterparts - Spain and Italy; however, have some constraints, that urge to clarify and repair. Foreseeing the future, face the announced news of a new restructuring, on behalf of the interests of the country, and in order to raise the quality of performance of the tax inspection, fiscal and customs, the National Republican Guard shall maintain a model based on the experience already accumulated, obviously adapted to the new demands of a changing society. Despite the current model gain in efficiency, loses in effectiveness. However, the efficiency of a model, without the necessary resources, can never bring “the letter to Garcia” against any kind of infringements, criminal or transgressions. Unless better opinion, both tax structures of the National Republican Guard are valid as an instrument for the prevention and combat of these illegal types. Because they are strategic in pursuing the public interest, given the scarce resources of the country and be the National Republican Guard, the force with the means and know-how of this nature. The political power has the final word.

A presente dissertação utiliza o instrumental teórico da Public Choice para analisar a política dos tributos indiretos proposta pelo Gov~rno Fernando Henrique Cardoso (1995/1998), enfatizando a interação e a motivação individual dos diversos agentes envolvidos no processo : políticos, burocratas, grupos de interesse, poder judiciário, grupos externos, cidadão/ contribuinte. Como resultado dessa análise, duas questões relevantes são levantadas : 1. a grande influência do sistema eleitoral brasileiro na elaboração das normas tributárias; 2. a ausência de uma proposta de aperfeiçoamento da administração fazendária.

Reforma tributária no Brasil: histórico, necessidades e propostas

O presente trabalho aborda o processo de reforma tributária no Brasil. Partimos da análise dos principais fatos da história econômica do país que justificaram a reforma tributária de 1966. Após, elencamos as principais alterações ocorridas na legislação tributária no período entre a instituição do Código Tributário Nacional (1966) e a promulgação da Constituição Federal de 1988, que representa a última grande reforma tributária no Brasil. Estudamos as mudanças ocorridas na legislação tributária no período pós 1988, afim de se verificar a necessidade de reforma tributária no sistema brasileiro atual. Concluímos pela necessidade de reforma tributária no Brasil sob seis diferentes aspectos: federalismo, orçamento, renda, patrimônio, consumo e contribuições sociais. Analisamos as propostas de reforma tributária, elaboradas pelo Poder Executivo no período pós 1988 até o ano de 2008, de forma a examinar se tais propostas contemplavam as necessidades de reforma tributária apontadas. Indagamos o porquê de tais propostas não terem sido aprovadas, de forma que, nos dias atuais, o país ainda necessita de outra reforma tributária.

Planejamento tributário: Critérios e limites para a desconsideração dos atos e negócios jurídicos pela administração fiscal

Tax planning is a subject that has been increasing in relevance in Tax Law. This current dissertation s objective is to approach the criterion and limits for the disqualification of law acts and business through the Tax Administration. Law acts and business resulted from the conduct of contributors that seek to diminish the growing raise of the tax load, using some means to reduce their burden and increase the possibilities of success in an economical activity, without violating the law in the persecution of paying fewer burdens. On the other hand, the tax administration, through its organs, hoping the increase of burden collection to withstand some determined sectors of the State, with a clear purpose to stop the contributor organizing his activity and structuring it as efficiently as possible, came up with a preliminary draft which left Complementary Law 104, from 10.02.2001, enacted, that inserted the unique paragraph of the National Tax Code, article 116, authorizing the disregard, by the administrative fiscal authority, of Law acts and business practiced to dissimulate the occurrence of burden gain or the nature of obligated incorporating elements, observing the procedures to be established in common law . Our goal is to identify the criteria and limits to disregard law acts and business through the tax administration, pointing out some possible means of action by the tax administration that qualifies it to disregard the contributor s acts and business, just claiming that a saving in the tax costs was made by the contributor s act

Assim, no âmbito do tema que nos propomos apresentar, atentos o vasto universo de situações possíveis e passíveis de enquadrar e considerar neste trabalho, cuja abordagem aqui se pretende explanar, será nosso objectivo centrarmo-nos no essencial, nas situações decorrentes das medidas de simplificação que têm vindo a ser implementadas ao nível da Administração Fiscal, em resultado da prática e dos procedimentos adoptados pela Direcção Geral dos Impostos (DGCI), no âmbito da implementação de medidas de política delineadas a nível governamental e cujos objectivos se têm vindo a consubstanciar na pretendida redução de custos de cumprimento e de custos de administração. Por consequência, está em equação a matéria relativa aos denominados custos de contexto face a assumidos objectivos ao nível da pretendida melhoria da qualidade no serviço a prestar ao cidadão contribuinte por parte da DGCI e do reforço da competitividade fiscal, afigurando-se também interessante abordar um ponto diferente nesta temática e que resulta do risco associado à implementação das referidas medidas, tanto na óptica do sujeito administrado como da própria administração, e à noção que o mesmo incorpora em sede de auditoria tributária e dos custos daí resultantes.
