Abstract:
VAT rates have gradually become an important fiscal policy tool of of EU member states. This
paper quantifies the influence on the VAT revenue of the potential transfer of selected labour
intensive services from the standard to a reduced VAT rate in the Czech Republic. The data used
for the analysis were obtained by a questionnaire, as well as through research performed at the
General Financial Directorate and the Czech Statistical Office. To analyze the data, a comparison
analysis and descriptive statistical methods were used. The change in VAT rate would cause
a decrease in VAT revenue up to 1.6 billion CZK per year, but it would also bring positive effects,
especially in the business development of the suppliers of labor intensive services. It could also
prevent a price increase during the planned introduction of the e-sales system in restaurants.
