The present work analyzes the trade with excise goods and is addressed to traders of excise goods, entrepreneurs, as well as practitioners in the financial and accounting field, who, in the transactions made with excise goods, may violate the relevant legislation, and may be sanctioned as a contravention, or as the case may be, criminal. Given that the sale of excisable products represents a high fiscal risk, the fiscal authorities have introduced a series of laws, acts, and provisions, including the regulation to use electronic invoicing using the SAF-T (Standard Audit File for Taxation) reporting system, E-invoice or Statement 406 in all situations of trading (excisable) products with high fiscal risk starting from July 2022, by issuing electronic invoices, which bring changes regarding the authorization, movement of excisable products and the procedure for carrying out activities with excisable products, to reduce tax evasion, monitoring, compliance and sanctioning of those who do not comply with excise legislation. In the content of the work, through a case study, we will describe a case regarding non-compliance with the legislation by an entity, how it was sanctioned, and the applicable legislation for this act. The present article considers the current implacable reality, which is, that with the appearance of new rules or obstacles in combating fraud, the methods of fraud have also diversified.

Legal education is the method for preserving the rule of law, which is the fundamental premise upon which contemporary nations political and legal underpinnings are built. Legal thinking skills are one of the primary characteristics required of legal practitioners. It is also emphasized in legal education as a primary goal. In Pakistani law schools, the notion of legal reasoning is frequently addressed but rarely articulated. However, in Pakistani law schools, the actual teaching of a skills method approach to legal reasoning as a process and a concept has rarely been properly described. Legal reasoning is not included in the LLB curriculum, which is a fundamental flaw in the legal education system. Legal reasoning will provide law students with a skill that will help them to secure their careers and may be used in a variety of disciplines. This paper will argue that the existing LLB curriculum in Pakistan needs to be reformed and legal reasoning should be included as a subject.

The objective of the paper is to investigate the influence of the inheritance tax on the amount of tax evasion in different countries. The inheritance tax is among the most unpopular taxes. It is assumed, that unpopular taxes, such as the inheritance tax, have a measurable influence on the amount of tax evasion. Countries that levy inheritance taxes and countries which don’t levy inheritance taxes are compared in their success in fighting the shadow economy over a longer period (1991 – 2017). For that, data from Medina and Schneider from 2019 about the development of the shadow economy and from the OECD about the inheritance tax revenue is used. The approach is, to find dependencies between the inheritance tax revenue and the size of the shadow economy. The results show, that countries which abolished the inheritance tax, are not anymore that successful in fighting tax evasion than they were before. There is also evidence, that countries with a relatively high inheritance tax revenue are not able to fight tax evasion to the same extent, as countries that levy relatively low inheritance taxes. Therefore, in terms of reducing tax evasion, it is not recommended to abolish already introduced inheritance taxes, but rather to continue levying a moderate inheritance tax.

The main aim of the prosecutor is the find out such objective and indisputable evidence, which will help the court to make the right and fair decision. The present article according to the qualitative research method focuses on the history, stages of development, and current functions of the prosecutors. Based on this, it became clear how effective and productive the prosecutor’s participation in the court is and, in general, how independent the prosecutor is in the performance of his or her functions and what are similarities and differences in different countries prosecutor’s independence, roles, and responsibilities. As the study highlighted the International Prosecutor should have exclusively such rights, as investigation and implementation of criminal persecution against specific persons.

In 2019, the Romanian legislator regulated for the first time, in the content of O.G. no. 6/2019, the legal institution of the restructuring of budgetary claims on the establishment of fiscal facilities. After that, a series of successive normative acts were adopted, meant to prolong the effects of the initial normative act, but also to bring new and necessary clarifications to the content of this legal institution and the procedure for its development from the moment of initiation until the final extinguishment of its effects on the public budget and the patrimony of the involved budgetary debtor. As we have already shown in the content of the present paper, the analysis of the way in which the restructuring of budgetary claims is regulated has allowed us to draw a series of conclusions concerning this legal institution: a. the restructuring of the budgetary claims is a relatively new legal institution that has been adopted through a normative act other than the Fiscal Procedure Code, which it does not, directly and explicitly, amend or supplement, but indirectly by the fact that it can interfere in the conduct of the fiscal procedure, as well as by the fact that it refers to fiscal law institutions regulated by the Fiscal Procedure Code and which thus bears substantial changes; b. the restructuring of the budgetary claims is essentially different from the other forms of financial support established by the provisions of the Fiscal Procedure Code and in particular from the payment facilities designed to provide the budgetary debtor with a grace period in order to obtain the funds necessary to extinguish by payment his obligations to the public budgets. It is also different from the cancellation of tax claims established by the Fiscal Procedure Code because it becomes applicable when the collection of tax receivables becomes useless, inefficient, or impossible. c. although it differs from the rescheduling and adjournment of payment, or the cancellation of tax claims, however, in regulating the restructuring of budgetary claims, the legislator appeals to them themselves, in the form in which they were established in the provisions of the Fiscal Procedure Code.d. the local tax authorities have the right to decide (they are not obliged by law to do so) if they use this legal institution, in the process of collecting the debts due to the budgets they manage;e. in terms of content, the restructuring refers to any kind of budgetary claim (due to the general consolidated budget), in connection with which enforceable titles have also been issued (i.e. the claim has become certain and demandable).

The relevance of this study is due to the lack of an effective mechanism to combat domestic violence in Ukraine and an insufficiently effective system of prevention and protection against domestic violence, which creates an atmosphere of impunity and leads to the spread of this phenomenon in Ukraine. The purpose of the article is to analyze the genesis of legal regulation of domestic violence in Ukraine and determine the problems Ukraine faces during this process. The article dwells on the historical aspect of domestic violence phenomena and considers former legal regulations of it. The article also reveals some problems deriving from the historical aspect of combating domestic violence, which is still in place nowadays. Their detrimental impact on combating domestic violence is as well considered.

The aim of the article is to analyze the impact of the concept of familiness on the financing of French firms. In this respect, three factors are considered. The first one is about the presence of a family CEOs.The second deal with the presence of a family member and the third comes with transgenerational succession. Such an effect is highlighted by using a sample of 100 unlisted French family firms over the period 2003–2012. The results show that the involvement of the concept of “familiness” in family firms leads to a different financial structure from other firms. The ownership structure adopted by family CEOs and transgenerational succession improve debt. On the other hand, the presence of a family member on the board of directors does give significant results; the negative coefficients demonstrate reluctance regarding debt. A possible explanation for the paradox is that the capital structure of French family firms is specific.
