INSIGHTS INTO GREEN TAX AMONGST SMALL MEDIUM ENTERPRISE OWNERS IN SOUTH AFRICA: A QUALITATIVE STUDY
Get PDFObjective: This study sought to explore how the owners of small medium enterprises in South Africa, understood green tax and the factors influencing tax compliance.
Methods: Using a qualitative research design, data was obtained from a sample of 12 owners of small medium enterprises, who voluntarily consented to participate in the study. Data was collected using semi-structured interviews, using a virtual platform due to COVID-19 regulations. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data.
Results: Five broad themes emerged from this inquiry which revolved on how business owners understand green tax, factors affecting green tax compliance and the strategies to ensure green tax compliance amongst small medium enterprises.
Conclusion: The study found that participants were in favour of green taxes which reflected a commitment to environmental protection. However, concerns regarding how the government utilised green taxes to ensure environmental protection emerged and consumers were found to be reluctant to pay higher premiums for green products, which affected overall tax compliance.
Research implications: Greater education regarding the salience and value of green taxes amongst the owners of small medium enterprises is important. More research related to how to ensure green tax compliance and the role small medium enterprises play in green tax compliance will strengthen compliance and enable environmental sustainability.
Originality/value: The study contributes to understanding the reasons behind a lack of compliance with regards to green taxes amongst small medium enterprises

Sustainability Reporting Quality and Corporate Value: Indonesia and Malaysia Context
Get PDFPurpose: The aims of this research are twofold: (1) to examine the quality of sustainability reporting among publicly traded firms in Indonesia and Malaysia, and (2) to explore the cause-and-effect link between the quality of sustainability reports and corporate value.
Design/methodology/approach: The population consisted of manufacturing enterprises in Indonesia and Malaysia that have issued the Sustainability Report. The sampling was conducted using a random sampling approach and the sample size was determined using the Slovin formula. The assessment of sustainability reporting quality was conducted using certain indicators, namely: (1) adherence to regulations, (2) extent of time horizon disclosures, and (3) level of depth in content disclosure. The assessment of corporate worth was determined by the annual increase in market capitalization. The control variables employed were company size, capital intensity, leverage, and profitability. The data was gathered from the annual report and sustainability report coverage for the years 2018, 2019, and 2020, which were published on the company's website and on the stock market. By employing random sampling and ensuring the availability of all necessary data as per the regression analysis model, we acquired a total of 300 samples of manufacturing firms in Indonesia and 274 samples of manufacturing companies in Malaysia. The evaluation of the Indonesia sustainability report's disclosure pertains to the compliance with Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 51 /POJK.03/2017, which outlines the guidelines for the implementation of sustainable finance. The evaluation of Malaysia's sustainability report disclosure pertains to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). The study employed panel data regression analysis to investigate the causal association between the quality of sustainability report and corporate value.
Findings: The practices of sustainability disclosure in Indonesia and Malaysia exhibit distinct emphases. Indonesia priorities environmental factors, whilst Malaysia focuses more on social disclosure. Companies in Malaysia have higher levels of disclosure compared to those in Indonesia due to the earlier implementation of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Environmental disclosures and social disclosures in Indonesia have a notable impact on the value of the company, as measured by Tobin's Q. The negative coefficient of social disclosure indicates that investors typically react unfavorably. The act of evacuating the environment has a beneficial effect, which is seen in the appreciation shown by investors. The revelation of corporate governance has a favorable impact on the company's value (Tobin Q) in Malaysia, indicating that investors in Malaysia exhibit significant interest in governance matters. Higher levels of governance result in reduced risk and increased desirability for investors.
Research limitations/implications: Some corporations do not release sustainability reports, hence researchers must get data from annual reports. The presentation of sustainability information in the annual report lacks organisation, resulting in frequently inadequate data.
Originality/values: The research's originality resides in its full measurement of disclosure and its study of each component of disclosure in the sustainability report
THE IDEA OF ADDITIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SYSTEM OF LAW: THE EXPERIENCE OF RUSSIAN SCIENCE
No full textIntroduction: The relevance of scientific research lies in the fact that for many years Russian legal science has followed the path of splitting the "legal platform" into separate sectors, their isolation in the field of law, sub-sectors, institutions, as well as complex sectors of law and legislation, in isolation from the experience of foreign legal systems. But there are no global breakthroughs, the complicating legislative array from the industrialization of law has not become clearer, on the contrary, the complication and "inventing" of new industries has added confusion to science and practice, diverting understanding from the deep meanings of the structural dualization of law. The author of the article argues his critical attitude to the idea of "cyclic legal arrays" proposed by various scholars, which is based on the idea of "cyclization" in law.
Returning to the origins: two large spheres - public law and private law, in our opinion, will "facilitate" the process of adapting law to the new digital reality, when there will be no conditional industries and restrictions, but within the framework of two complementary and interacting spheres (private and public rights) legal relations will consolidate the new rules of the digital world, become an effective tool for resolving a wide variety of "digital" (already emerged and emerging) relations with the rules of law.
Purpose: The purpose of the article is to explore the concept, content, place and role of additive technologies in law. The author of the article proves that it is necessary to gradually (thoughtful) unite (enlarge) the existing artificial branches of law (which do not benefit either economics or law) and, ultimately, justify the concept of private and public law in the context of digitalization.
Methods. The leading method of studying the problem was the deductive method, which made it possible to study the legal and social nature of the processes of unification (enlargement) of the currently existing artificial branches of law. The article uses inductive method, method of system scientific analysis, comparative legal and historical methods. The leading method underlying the solution to the problem is to justify the concept of private and public law in the context of digitalization. Results. In the article, the author, considering the division of law into industries and institutions largely conditional and outdated, offers a conceptual idea of enlarging the elements of the law system and a return to the idea of dividing law into public and private in terms of the use of additive technologies.
As an alternative to the concept of "cyclical legal arrays" and a possible broad discussion, the author of the article proposes his conceptual idea - "additive technologies in law," the essence of which is to combine together the elements (norms of law, institutions and even branches of law), which previously constituted a single system, interacting or not interacting comprehensively or fragmentally, if conditions have "matured" and if their synthesis gives a great effect and breakthrough for the new system into which they merged, and will give new qualitative characteristics to the combined elements themselves
