Abstract

The aim of this paper is to assess tax administration reforms in Bosnia and Herzegovina BandH After analyzing the three important preconditions for a successful tax administration reform in any post transition country which are all related to tax policy reform namely simplification of a tax system a clear strategy and political commitment from the highest authorities we firstly evaluated the success of tax policy reforms conducted in BandH so far We conclude that all tax policy reforms in BandH were conducted inconsistently which is a result of a complex constitutional and political organization of BandH Since the success of tax administration reforms relies on clear tax policy reforms we assess the implementation of the tax policy reforms through a survey conducted among three groups of experts namely tax administration officials the academia and the private sector We have developed two benchmark theoretical models where one is more classical interventionist and the other more neoliberal We find that responses in all three groups are inconsistent in both theoretical benchmark models which confirm the inconsistency of tax policy and tax administration reforms in BandH
