Taxation of domestic and foreign income tax

Porezni sustav predstavlja ukupnost poreza koji funkcioniraju u određenoj zemlji. Svaka zemlja ima jedinstveni porezni sustav. Veličina javnog sektora, demografska struktura, broj stanovništva jedno su od čimbenika koji utječu na porezni sustav. Porezni sustav Republike Hrvatske je pluralan gdje je prisutno više poreznih oblika koji se dijele na državne, županijske, gradske ili općinske i zajedničke poreze te naknade za priređivanje igara na sreću. Porez na dohodak jedan je od najstarijih i najznačajnijih oblika poreza te predstavlja važan instrument fiskalne politike. Dohodak predstavlja razliku između primitaka i izdataka za određeno obračunsko razdoblje. U Republici Hrvatskoj oporezuje se ostvareni dohodak, neovisno o svrsi za koju je utrošen i neovisno o izvorima iz kojih je ostvaren. Izvori dohotka u Republici Hrvatskoj su dohodak od nesamostalnog rada, dohodak od samostalne djelatnosti, dohodak od imovine i imovinskih prava, dohodak od kapitala te drugi dohodak. U Republici Hrvatskoj porez na dohodak primjenjuje se prema progresivnim poreznim stopama. Postoje dvije porezne stope. Stopa od 24% primjenjuje se na dohodak do visine 30.000,00 kuna mjesečno, a stopa od 36% primjenjuje se na dohotke više od 30.000,00 kuna mjesečno. Način i utvrđivanje porezne obveze propisane su Zakonom o porezu na dohodak. Obveznici poreza na dohodak su rezidenti i nerezidenti. Nerezidentu se porez na dohodak obračunava po načelu tuzemnog dohotka dok se rezidentu porez na dohodak obračunava po načelu svjetskog dohotka. Pri utvrđivanju oporezivog dohotka odredbe međunarodnih ugovora koji su sklopljeni i potvrđeni u skladu s Ustavom Republike Hrvatske imaju prednost pred odredbama tuzemnog Zakona.The tax system represents the totality of taxes that function in a particular country.
