Abstract: The aim of the research is to assess the proposal of the financial transaction tax according to the optimal taxation theory. The research is based on a comparative analysis of the characteristics of optimal taxation and the characteristic of the financial transaction tax. The assessment mainly considers objectives, efficiency, economic equality and costs of taxation. The optimal taxation theory is looking for a tax system, which is maximizing social welfare and minimizing the cost of the fiscal process. The analysis would verify whether the tax proposed by the European Commission has the optimal taxation features.
