Dopady změn sazeb DPH u potravin v zemích EU

This diploma thesis is focused on examining the impacts of the distribution of the tax burden/benefit on the seller and the buyer in the changes of the VAT rates for foodstuffs in the countries of the European Union, between years 2010 and 2016. The main objective of the work is to set relative values of the tax incidence for consumers and producers in the individual EU countries, and then to deter-mine the general model of this distribution. For the solution, the tax impact meas-urement method was used at the time of the tax rate change using formulas. It was found that in the EU countries the average tax burden on the buyer was 66%. The buyer also receives an average tax benefit of 58% on average. This finding is beneficial for tax policy makers in their decision making
