Abstract

In the old times, governments had gone to ban the
consumption of certain goods and services that’s considered as sin, and had
resorted to heavy penalties. After then, releasing of aware of states to taxing
these goods and services had changed view point of states. Recently, discussion
has begun if governments levy extra taxes on these goods and services to reduce
consumption or to obtain more revenue. In this study, the issue of whether or
not high sin taxes is really effective in achieving social purposes has been discussed.
Violence incidents (domestic violence) have been taken into account in terms of
social purpose effectiveness which is closely related to sin taxes. For this,
changes in tendency of consumption, and depending of using of such goods in
parallel with increasing tax rates have been studied in accordence of
(domestic) violence.

Günah Vergilerinin Şiddet Olayları Üzerindeki Etkisi

Abstract

Eski
tarihlerde devlet yöneticileri günah olarak kabul edilen bir takım mal ve
hizmetlerin tüketimini yasaklamaya gitmiş ve ağır cezalara başvurmuşlardır.
Ancak daha sonra bunları vergilendirerek gelir sağlayabileceklerinin farkına
varmaları devletlerin konuya bakışını önemli ölçüde değiştirmiştir. Son dönemlerde
devletin bu mal ve hizmetlerin tüketimini kısmak için mi yoksa daha fazla gelir
elde etmek için mi fazladan vergilendirmeye gittiği tartışılmaya başlanmıştır.
Bu çalışmada yüksek günah vergilerinin gerçekten sosyal amaca ulaşmada etkin
olup olmadığı konusu ele alınmıştır. Sosyal amaç etkinliği açısından da günah
vergilerinin yakından ilişkili olduğu (aile içi) şiddet olayları dikkate
alınmıştır. Bunun için de artan vergi oranları karşısında tüketim eğiliminde
meydana gelen değişimler ve bu tür malların kullanımına bağlı olarak (aile içi)
şiddet olayları ilişkisi irdelenmiştir.
