The value-added business tax is calculated using the "input tax deduction method" to determine the amount of tax payable. Input tax deduction is not allowed if the business entity does not obtain input documentary evidence. In addition, when calculating the amount of tax leakage, it is not allowed to deduct input tax without obtaining input documentary evidence. However, in practice, there are cases where a business entity is unable to obtain input documentary evidence at the time of purchase. If it is not allowed to deduct the input tax from both the amount of tax payable and tax leakage, this will result in a large amount of business tax and the punishment of tax evasion. Currently, there are no other regulations on this issue. In practice, it is widely believed that those who don’t obtain input documentary evidence should not be allowed to claim input tax deduction or deduct input tax when calculating tax leakage amount. Academics argue that the violation of the taxpayer’s cooperation obligation should only allow for tax estimation, with different views on the estimation of tax leakage amount. This paper summarizes academic and practical views and examines the constitutionality of the fundamental rights within the relevant business tax regulations. Concluding that they are unconstitutional, it argues that the controversial issue can be resolved through tax estimation while considering the perspective of protecting taxpayers’ rights. Finally, it cites the simplified taxation system of Japan’s consumption tax as a model for future amendments to Taiwan’s Business Tax Act. |
