ABSTRACT
The research was directed to confirming or disproving the hypothesis that increasing tax pressure on the forest industry encourages the irrational use of forest resources to cover tax payments. The purpose of the study is to develop a methodology for identifying the impact of taxes on the activities of forest enterprises in Ukraine, social and natural capital. In this study, we try to identify the causes of the increased tax burden and the impact of this process on forest conservation. The following decisions of the Government of Ukraine have been taken into account: ban on export of timber products in 2015; an increase in the rent for the use of forest resources in 2016; expiration of special VAT regime from January 1, 2017, introduction of land tax on forest lands from January 1, 2019, increase of deductions from net profit to the state budget from 75 to 90%.
Information
bases of research are the survey has been conducted, the statistic reporting,
reporting to the State Forest Resources Agency and financial reporting of
forestry enterprises. By means of methods of the econometric
analysis, it is studied indicators relations of the amount of the paid taxes
and the area of logging, the amount of the paid taxes and the area of
restoration of the wood from 2010 to 2019. The impact of tax increases on the
financial condition of forest enterprises was analyzed. The social effect was
analyzed by studying the dynamics of payment of wage taxes, the environmental
effect was analyzed by indicators of growth of areas of forest restoration
including areas of planting a new forest. By results of the analysis of data of
the State committee of statistics and the reporting of 17 state enterprises of
the Volyn region which serve 7% of the total area of the woods of Ukraine it is
established: tax revenues from forest enterprises have tripled, what is not
related to the increase in profitability of their activities; reduction of the
number of dividends paid in favor of the state; the total sectorial
profitability of the activity decreased more than 6 times; bankruptcy is on the
rise, and at the end of 2019 accounts for nearly half (65%) of all operating
entities. The constructed econometric model allows us to claim with probability
p = 0.95 that the increase in tax payments leads to an increase in the volume
of harvesting although taxes should stimulate the economical use of forest
resources. The results show that all government decisions as to increasing
fiscal pressure on forestry enterprises were unsystematic and lead the industry
into bankruptcy. This has a detrimental effect on the ecology of the region as
forestry grows. However, instead of developing the industry, these studies indicate
a complete decline as enterprises lack the resources to forestry development.

INTRODUCTION
The concept of
sustainable development, which underlies the "Ukraine-2020"
development strategy, requires harmonious development and interaction of three
spheres of human activity: economy, ecology, society. The regulator of these
processes is a state which influences the needs of society, the environment,
and economic development, through taxation and the creation of certain
institutions.
Over the 2015-2019
years in Ukraine we have seen many radical steps in forestry reform some of
those have been unexpected for businesses. The electronic logging of timber is
a major step forward but its effectiveness remains in doubt. New forms of
taxation for forestry enterprises have been introduced. However, the issue of
preserving the natural capital of the forest has remained unaddressed as no
changes have been made to the sector's reform.
We overlook that the
increase in corporate tax payments does not encourage the redevelopment of
forests, and their frivolous use to cover tax payments, the basis of which is
not related to timber harvesting. In our opinion, the most significant steps
that require analysis in terms of their feasibility and effectiveness are
banning the export of timber products in 2015; an increase in the rent for the
use of forest resources in 2016; expiration of special VAT regime from January
1, 2017, introduction of land tax on forest lands from January 1, 2019,
increase of deductions from net profit to the state budget from 75 to 90%.
Their impact on enterprise performance, the identification of social,
environmental and economic effects of a range of solutions require detailed
analysis using a variety of analytical tools.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Similar studies have
been conducted in the tropical forest (Hansen & Lund 2018), Indonesia
(Darusman et al. 2015), Slovakia (Hajduchova et al. 2015), Nepal (Lund et al
2014), Central Africa (Karsenty, 2010), Liberia and Gabon (Krelove et al. 2010)
and Ukraine (Garasim et al. 2018). However, their purpose was to study the
impact on the financial results of the enterprise's activity, filling the state
and local budgets.
Harrison (1998)
explored the need and effectiveness of tax incentives for forestry enterprises.
He noted that tax support policies must strike a balance between equity and
efficiency.. Hansen and Lund (2018) concluded that the same changes in the
system of forestry taxation in different countries give different efficiency..
They explain this by the significant influence of the national political and
economic factors of each individual country.
It has been argued that
in the forest sector it is more appropriate to impose taxes on raw materials
rather than on financial results or finished products so that enterprises have
incentives to engage in woodworking (Karsenty, 2010). In some studies, the tax was considered as a
benchmark to limit deforestation (Chaudhary et al. 2017).
The assessment of the
influence of various factors on the volume of deforestation was carried out in
the studies, but the activity of local communities was chosen as a factor of
influence. (Mohammed et al. 2017). Scientists carried out the analysis about
objects from which taxes in forestry of economically developed countries are
levied (timber, logging, land, forest rights) was conducted by the guards
(Moroz, 2010; Palmer et
al. 2010). In our research, we will
analyze the impact of taxes on forest reproduction and conservation, the
financial condition of forestry enterprises and the social protection of
industry workers. Many researchers study the impact of government decisions on
the state of the environment, ecology and forests (Faizul et al., 2017).
The impact of changes
in industry management from decentralized to centralized and vice versa was
investigated by Baynes et al. (2015), Hyde (2019). Our research provides an information base for making crucial
decisions on reforming the taxation of forest businesses.
The purpose of the study is to develop a methodology for
identifying the impact of taxes on the activities of forest enterprises in
Ukraine, social and natural capital. Conservation and augmentation of
forests is one way of reducing global environmental problems that must be addressed
by governments of all countries. In this study, we try to identify the causes
of the increased tax burden and the impact of this process on forest
conservation.

DATA AND METHODOLOGY
We conducted an
analysis of changes in the Tax Code of Ukraine dated 02.12.2010 № № 2755-VI for 2015-2019 to check the effectiveness and feasibility
of the measures taken to increase the tax burden on enterprises in the industry
in Ukraine.
In order to identify the impact of
each change, a survey has been conducted on the statistics of reporting,
reporting to the State Forest Resources Agency and financial reporting of
forestry enterprises.
The indicators of report # 3 “Forest
Activity” concerning the area of deforestation and the area of reproduction,
the volume of logging were taken into account. By means of methods of the
econometric analysis, it is studied indicators relations of the amount of the
paid taxes and the area of preparation of the wood, the amount of the paid
taxes and the area of restoration of the wood from 2010 to 2019. The Fisher
test was used to verify the results obtained. To analyze the impact of tax
increases on the financial condition of forest enterprises, 17 state-owned
enterprises in the Volyn region were selected to operate in the forest sector.
Among them, there are 11 forest enterprises, 5 forestry farms and 1 forestry
training facility.
The forest area of Volyn region is
702 thousand hectares, which is 7% of the total forest area of Ukraine. The
enterprises selected for research occupy more than 80% of the area of all
forests of Volyn region. Studying economic effect the ratio of the sum of the
factorial Altman received net profit to the total income of the enterprise, the
5th model Tereshchenko (2003) was carried out according to
financial statements with the use of the coefficient of financial stability of
the enterprise.
The social effect was
analyzed by studying the dynamics of payment of wage taxes, the environmental effect
was analyzed by indicators of growth of areas of forest restoration including
areas of planting a new forest. It should be noted that the areas of the wood
from which pass wood procurement officially began to be published by the State
committee of statistics only since 2016 that did not allow to use this
indicator for the analysis.
In
Table 1 it is systematized indicators which are used for the analysis.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
4.1.
The ban of export of the wood in Ukraine
The first step in protecting the
forest in Ukraine is the ban on the export of untreated timber in 2015.
Expected that it would influenced the reduction of volumes of selling of such
products by the domestic enterprises as demand for wood resources in the domestic
market considerably smaller.
Researches prove (Hansen and Lund,
2018) that the ban of export of logs in other countries reduces the internal
competition in the market and according to the price, at the same time it has a
negative effect on the restoration of the woods as the enterprises lost
incentives to restoration. Instead, export quotas and forest auctions show a
positive effect.

logging volumes and logging areas.

In
Ukraine, the ban on exports has not affected the volume of procurement that is
increasing every year.
The
share of finished products in the warehouses of Volyn region forest enterprises
(Table 3) in the total amount of enterprise assets was analyzed to determine
whether the products in the warehouses depend.
Finished
goods balances have been increasing since 2015. In 5 of the studied enterprises
the situation with volumes of finished goods already is rather difficult as its
share, within two last years, already exceeds 15% of the total cost of assets
of the enterprise.
The
dynamics of residues of finished products of forest enterprises of Volyn region
are presented in Figure 1.
Warehouse stock balances are growing at a much
slower pace than stockpiles, so export restrictions have not affected the
industry's development globally.

Cancellation of special VAT tax regime, rent
increase
Until January 1, 2017, Ukrainian
forests were under the
special VAT regime. The amount of value-added tax charged by enterprises was
not payable to the budget and remained entirely at the disposal of such
enterprises for the purchase of raw materials used in the production. Since
2017 the special mode is canceled, and the enterprises are paying VAT on a
general basis.
Cancellation
of a special regime of the VAT, increase in rent, the introduction of land tax
gradually - all these increases a tax burden by the enterprises of forestry.

for 2014-2019.

For the years 2014-2019, there is a
clear increase in the tax burden on enterprises in the industry, especially
VAT. The positive aspect is the filling of local budgets. Tax revenues from
forest enterprises have tripled and this is not related to the increase in
profitability of their activities. At the same time, there was a decrease in
the number of dividends paid in favor of the state. Social contributions to the
budget, when measured in dollars, decreased from 2014 to 2019.
In parallel with the increase in the
tax burden during 2014-2019, the profitability of forestry enterprises has been
steadily decreasing. Thus, if in 2015 there were 8 enterprises with a share of
net profit in the sales revenue of more than 10%, then in 2019 in all 17
surveyed enterprises the share of net profit was less than 5%. The dynamics of
this indicator for forestry enterprises are shown in Table 4

Economic effect
The dynamics of the share of net
profit in sales revenue for all surveyed enterprises are presented in Figure 4.

of net profit in the income from the sale of forestry enterprises of the Volyn
region by industry in 2014-2019 according to the sample
Source: compiled by the authors on according to the financial reporting of 17 enterprises
During
2015-2019, the total sectoral profitability of the activity decreased more than
6 times, which is a negative trend and indicates a decrease in the efficiency
of the activity of forestry enterprises and a deterioration of their financial
status (Figure 5 ). At the same time, logging is increasing.
Figure 5: Coefficient of financial
stability of forestry enterprises of Volyn region
in 2014-2018 according to the sample

on according to the financial reporting of
17 enterprises
In 2019, only 1 of the 17 (6%)
surveyed forestry enterprises in the Volyn region had financial sustainability
ratios within the regulatory framework, although in 2015 there were 8 (47%).
The constant tendency to decrease the value of this indicator indicates the
deterioration of the financial position of the enterprises of the forestry
industry and the increase of the probability of their bankruptcy.
To
assess the likelihood of bankruptcy of forestry companies, we have selected two
models: the Tereshchenko model, which is the most adapted for domestic
enterprises, and the most common world model, the Altman 5-factor model for
non-listed companies. The results of the analysis of indicators of activity of
the investigated forestry enterprises of Volyn region according to the
Tereshchenko model are presented in table 5.

These
data indicate that during the last 4 years there has been a constant tendency
to deteriorate the financial condition of forestry enterprises in Volyn region.
The number of bankruptcy taxpayers in the forest industry is on the rise and at
the end of 2019 it is almost half (64.7%) of all operating entities.
After
analyzing the bankruptcy probability estimation according to Altman's 5-factor
model, for the companies of which the shares are not quoted on the stock
exchange, a graph was presented that reflects the dynamics of the average value
of the financial security indicator of the activity of the studied enterprises
(Figure 6).

enterprises in Volyn region in 2014-2019

17 enterprises
Based on the obtained graphical data, we can
conclude that the calculations made by the Altman model confirm the previously
obtained results (by Tereshchenko's model). In the long term, we expect further
deterioration of the financial status of the studied enterprises. As in 2019,
the financial burden is increasing for forest enterprises. According to the
decision of the Ukrainian government, state-owned enterprises are obliged to
pay 90% of net profit to the budget from 2019 (in 2015-2018 it was 75%) and a
forest land tax is being introduced.

Ecological effect of tax introduction
To assess the effectiveness of
environmental taxation, enterprises of the Volyn region conducted an
econometric analysis of the impact of the amount of accrued taxes on the volume
of wood. We used data for 10 years, from 2010 to 2019 for the construction of the
econometric model (Table 6).

The
model is constructed as a paired regression. On the basis of the value of the
coefficient of determination it is established that the most optimal line of
dependence is a exponential since the coefficient of determination becomes the
largest value of the considered variants of the dependences ( R2= 0.915248)/

As shown in Table 6, the sums of the
statistical and calculated values of the indicator coincide and their dynamics
coincide, which indicates that the econometric model is constructed
qualitatively. Verification of the constructed econometric model for the
adequacy of the experimental data using the Fisher test showed that with
probability p = 0.95; the constructed model is adequate for the
statistical data and is suitable for further analysis and forecasting.
So, if in the next period the tax
burden increases, then with probability p = 0.95, according to the
constructed econometric model, the volume of forest harvesting will increase
and will be 1515 thousand cubic meters. In this case, budget revenue will
increase to 300 thousand UAH. Although taxes should encourage the economical
use of forests.

The social effect of the taxes
introduction
The
data of the surveyed enterprises show that, along with the deterioration of the
financial situation, there is an increase in wage arrears, dismissal of
employees. In this case, the amount of wages in 1 cubic meter of harvested
forest decreased from $ 3.16 in 2012 to $ 2.02 in 2019 (Table 7).

CONCLUSIONS
The results show that all government
decisions as to increasing fiscal pressure on forestry enterprises were
unsystematic and lead the industry into bankruptcy. This has a negative impact
on the ecology of the region as forest harvesting grows. The greatest added
value is provided by the processing and manufacture of finished wood. That was
the purpose of banning the export of timber. However, instead of developing the
industry, these studies indicate a complete decline as enterprises lack the
resources to implement forestry.
The starting point for introducing
reforms should be a comprehensive inventory of the forest with an estimate of
the forest stand and stock of wood at the root, not wood resources of the
forest (berry-pickers. animal). This will allow them to monitor their
conservation and growth while analyzing the effectiveness of the solutions. The
current system of taxation in Ukraine does not stimulate environmental behavior
of forest users, the economical use of natural resources. For the development
of the timber industry, companies that have invested in timber processing
should have tax benefits. For today in Ukraine, the rent payment copes with
prepared raw materials. Woodworking enterprises should be given an incentive to
invest in increasing the volume of treated wood.
Our aggregate
indicators show the state of the industry in a comprehensive way. as they
represent information from several sources – statistics, enterprise reporting,
data from the State Forest Resources Agency. This set of indicators
can be used for annual rapid monitoring of the industry.
