Indicative content

• The content of the subject Tax Management is the determinants of the practical collection of taxes from the public as well as the private sector. The basis for understanding the whole process of tax administration by the private sector and the collection of taxes from the perspective of the public sector is to understand the theoretical basis of tax policy. Based on them, a deeper analysis of individual measures and techniques used in the administration and collection of taxes is possible.
• From the point of view of the private sector, it is important to define the obligations related to the administration of tax obligations, as well as to understand the possibilities for their effective fulfillment. The institute of tax advice plays an important role in streamlining the administration of taxpayers' tax obligations, as well as in fulfilling the principles and objectives of tax policy. Knowledge of the legal regulation and code of ethics of this professional group enables the socially beneficial application of various techniques for the legal optimization of tax liability and at the same time the fulfillment of tax policy objectives.
• In fulfilling the objectives of tax policy from the point of view of public administration, it is important to define the rights and obligations of taxpayers and public entities in the process of tax administration and collection. The determining standard is the so-called the Tax Code, which regulates the rights, obligations, and procedural procedures in the administration of taxes. The competencies, tools, and procedures of the tax administration in tax proceedings directly determine the efficiency of tax collection. Knowledge of the forms and effects of these aspects is essential for the successful application of acquired knowledge in the field of taxation in practice.
