Abstract AR
يحاول البحث تبرير فرض ضرائب الإنفاق في البلدان الإسلامية لأن ضريبة الدخل، و لو كانت منبعا جيدا للموارد، فإن تطبيقها محاط.
بمشكلات عديدة – و قد أثيرت الشكوك حول ملاءمة ضريبة الدخل على الأفراد لذا فإن ضريبة الإنفاق تعد بديلا حسنا لضريبة الدخل –و يرى الباحث أن ضريبة الإنفاق على الأشخاص سوف تلبي حاجات البلدان الإسلامية على نحو أكثر كفاءة لأنها تنسجم مع طبيعة النظام الإسلامي.
و سوف تقوى مركز الزكاة و الضرائب المباشرة الأخرى، كما تساعد في تمويل التنمية الاقتصادية لأنها تكبح التضخم، الأمر الذي يؤدي إلى الاستقرار في مستوى الأسعار، كما أنها توسع قاعدة الزكاة بالزيادة الحاصلة في الادخار نتيجة فرض ضريبة الإنفاق.
و لتحقيق هذه المصالح يحاول البحث إيجاد نموذج لضريبة الإنفاق ينطوي على المواصفات الشرعية –و يأخذ في الاعتبار المشاركة في الأرباح، و تصنيف صيغ الادخار و تنظيم صندوق الأسهم للاكتتاب العام.
Abstract EN
An attempt is made to develop a case in favour of introduction of an expenditure tax in Muslim countries.
The income tax is a good source of revenue but its administration is beset with innumerable problems.
Presently more and more doubts are raised over the appropriateness of personal income tax.
The consumption based personal expenditure tax is considered as an efficient substitute to the income tax.
The paper argues that given the requirements of Muslim countries a direct tax on personal consumption expenditure would be more suitable among all other direct taxes.
It would eminently fit into their systems so as to strengthen the working of zakat and other direct taxes.
Its introduction would help in financing a high level of economic development.
Since it is highly anti-inflationary, its introduction would help in controlling inflation and achieving much desired price stability.
More importantly, an expenditure tax by favouring saving vis-à-vis consumption would expand zakat base.
In order to realise these advantages an attempt is made in this paper to develop a workable model of an expenditure tax which would incorporate within itself the shariah based prescriptions.
Profit and loss sharing, categorization of saving schemes and creation of national equity fund are some of its prominent features.
