The data are taken from the Budget Tables of the Ministry of Finance. Personal income tax is calculated on the amount of income as for example income from wages, rents, dividends, bank interest, real estate transfer etc..<p><\/p>\n<p>In the years under review, PIT has seen an upward trend both in absolute value and in percentage of total budget revenues. The year with the largest increase is the year 2007, year in which it was implemented a 10% flat income tax on individuals. This growth continued in 2008, when it was implemented a flat tax of 10% on profits of the companies. <\/p>\n<p>After 2009 the upward trend follows but with one digit level. The flat tax as a tax system easier to manage and the increase of the tax base are two main reasons that marked impact on the growth rate of benefits provided by PIT. In 2007 the value collected from the Personal Income Tax grew by 73% versus the previous year. This increase was marked at 65% in 2008 to stay positive in subsequent years.<\/p>\n<p>  <script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/ajax.googleapis.com\/ajax\/static\/modules\/gviz\/1.0\/chart.js\">{\"dataSourceUrl\":\"\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheet\/tq?key=0Agylwmr5tEbVdEg2S2hCLUNfNHBjb2E2b1RaY1BrSVE&transpose=0&headers=1&range=B5%3AC13&gid=0&pub=1\",\"options\":{\"vAxes\":[{\"titleTextStyle\":{\"bold\":true,\"color\":\"#222\",\"italic\":true,\"fontSize\":12},\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"title\":\"Value in mln\",\"minValue\":null,\"viewWindow\":{\"min\":null,\"max\":null},\"maxValue\":null},{\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"minValue\":null,\"viewWindow\":{\"min\":null,\"max\":null},\"maxValue\":null}],\"titleTextStyle\":{\"bold\":true,\"color\":\"#000\",\"fontSize\":16},\"booleanRole\":\"certainty\",\"title\":\"Personal income taxes 2005-2012 (in mln)\",\"height\":371,\"animation\":{\"duration\":500},\"legend\":\"right\",\"width\":630,\"hAxis\":{\"titleTextStyle\":{\"bold\":true,\"color\":\"#222\",\"italic\":true,\"fontSize\":12},\"title\":\"Year\",\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"minValue\":null,\"viewWindowMode\":null,\"viewWindow\":null,\"maxValue\":null},\"tooltip\":{},\"isStacked\":false},\"state\":{},\"view\":{},\"isDefaultVisualization\":false,\"chartType\":\"ColumnChart\",\"chartName\":\"Chart 1\"}<br \/>\n  <\/script><br><sup>Source MF<br>Comments and Analysis: ODA<\/sup><\/p>\n<p> \n    <script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/ajax.googleapis.com\/ajax\/static\/modules\/gviz\/1.0\/chart.js\">{\"dataSourceUrl\":\"\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheet\/tq?key=0Agylwmr5tEbVdEg2S2hCLUNfNHBjb2E2b1RaY1BrSVE&transpose=0&headers=1&range=B66%3AC74&gid=0&pub=1\",\"options\":{\"titleTextStyle\":{\"bold\":true,\"color\":\"#000\",\"fontSize\":16},\"series\":{\"0\":{\"pointSize\":7}},\"curveType\":\"function\",\"animation\":{\"duration\":500},\"width\":630,\"lineWidth\":2,\"hAxis\":{\"titleTextStyle\":{\"bold\":true,\"color\":\"#222\",\"italic\":true,\"fontSize\":12},\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"title\":\"Year\",\"minValue\":null,\"viewWindowMode\":null,\"viewWindow\":null,\"maxValue\":null},\"vAxes\":[{\"titleTextStyle\":{\"bold\":true,\"color\":\"#222\",\"italic\":true,\"fontSize\":12},\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"title\":\"Value in %\",\"minValue\":null,\"viewWindow\":{\"min\":null,\"max\":null},\"maxValue\":null},{\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"minValue\":null,\"viewWindow\":{\"min\":null,\"max\":null},\"maxValue\":null}],\"booleanRole\":\"certainty\",\"title\":\"Personal income taxes 2005-2012 (in %)\",\"height\":371,\"legend\":\"right\",\"tooltip\":{}},\"state\":{},\"view\":{},\"isDefaultVisualization\":false,\"chartType\":\"LineChart\",\"chartName\":\"Chart 2\"}<br \/>\n    <\/script><br>Source MF<br>Comments and Analysis: ODA<\/p>\n<p>A ratio taken into consideration is the ratio of that values collected from the Personal Income Tax Revenue vs. Budget revenues.
