“…J. Zarkovic-Rakic (2015) states that tax cuts using the reduction of social contributions increased wages of high qualified workers more than of low-skilled workers in Serbia. Because of this fact according to the analysis tax cuts should be used selectively instead of nationwide.…”

In this paper we analyze the effect of minimum wage change on selected labour market indicators such as duration of employment, hours worked, unemployment by education or profession or long-term unemployment. Our research is based on Eurostat and OECD data for V4 countries. The hypothesis discussed is whether the effect of minimum wage increase is positive or negative and we discuss the issue of economic regulation more generally. The output values of the regressions coefficients of all the V4 countries showed that the effects are more positive than negative. Mapping the overall intensity of effects of the minimum wage on selected indicator of the labour market in the Czech Republic and Hungary indicated a low sensitivity. The effects were very weak in Slovakia and Poland. The results of the analysis complied with the results of the domestic and international research in 13 cases and the results were different in 6 cases. Slightly more often they confirmed more positive effects of the minimum wage on selected indicators of the labour market than negative effects.

“…Some taxes, especially labour taxes, can have a considerable impact on income distribution (Akgun et al 2017). Large labour taxes are usually cursed for impeding employment conception (Zarkovic-Rakic, 2015). A great tax rate on labour is generally harmful to growth and employment (Myles, 2009;Arnold et al 2011).…”

The paper investigates the relationship between tax wedge and employment rate in thirty-six OECD countries for the period 2000-2020. The aim of this paper is to identify how tax wedge indicators affect the employment level in these economies. The empirical research includes correlation analysis and panel regression to determine character and intensity of nexus among observed variables. The results of Hausman represent that a random effects model is adequate for estimating the effect of tax wedge on the employment rate in selected countries. The model results show a negative correlation between these variables, as well as, that tax wedge indicators have a negative impact on the employment rate in OECD countries for the observed period. The empirical findings manifest that a 1% increase in the average tax wedge leads to a lower employment rate of 0.33% in OECD economies.

“…In 2007, the personal income tax rate was reduced from 14 percent to 12 percent and then, in 2013, to 10 percent, and a zero tax bracket-20 percent of the average net wage-was introduced. However, the burden on labor did not change considerably given that social security contributions dominate in the tax wedge (Žarković-Rakić 2015).…”
