Alternative method to measure the VAT gap in the EU: Stochastic tax frontier model approach

Abstract: In this paper, we pursue an alternative method to measure the Value Added Tax gap in the European Union using the stochastic tax frontier model. We use the Value Added Tax total tax liability as the input to estimate the optimal frontier of the Value Added Tax, as well as to predict technical inefficiency. Using the latest innovations of the stochastic frontier approach, we aim to obtain the accurate size of the Value Added Tax gap in the EU-26 countries and contrast them with extant estimates. The obtained es… Show more

“…There are several commonly used methods for the gap estimation [33]. Nerudová and Dobranschi [34] brought a new approach in this regard, the so-called stochastic tax frontier model. A comparison of results obtained with various methods designed for the case of the Czech Republic was made by Moravec, Hinke and Kaňka [35].…”

“…Each transaction that a taxable person – a natural person or a legal entity – who renders goods and services in the course of their business within the EU is subject to VAT (Busuioceanu, 2021). One of the most significant sources of tax revenue in EU member states is the VAT, which presently accounts for around one-fifth of all government tax income (Nerudova and Dobranschi, 2019). The VAT, which is a broad-based consumption tax, is regarded as one of the taxing policies that promote economic growth EU (Rakovský, 2021).…”

“…Heaton et al [3] model individualized effects of heat on health using DLMs. Nerudova and Dobransch [4] use time-varying variable in the DLM setting to analyze the value-added tax gap in the European Union. Nothdurft and Engel [5] utilize the DLMs to investigate the effect of species mixing on productivity and climate-related resistance.…”
