Abstract

The paper deals with the testing of the hypothesis, whether there is negative correlation between the time series of corporate income tax yield and personal income tax yield in the states of EMU and the Czech Republic. The correlation analysis has not proved the negative correlation (except Netherlands) on 5% level of importance. It can be assumed, that in most cases the present competition in the filed of corporate income taxation in the EU does not lead to the shift in the tax burden from corporations on the individuals. The differences of corporate income taxation in individual member states reflect the different economic conditions - countries with higher tax rates offers more quality labor force and stable business environment, while the newly accessed countries use the lower tax rates for their establishment on the internal market of the European union.
