In this case, taxes can be defined as obligatory fees of the public sector, to which governments do not provide direct equal consideration. Modern tax systems are based on the taxation of incomes, consumption, and property. The trend in the area of EU countries taxation is a transition of the tax burden from incomes and capital to consumption. Mainly conditions of mining organisations are presented in the contribution when tax rates and trends in the area of income tax of mining organisations are described. The goal of the contribution is to describe the tax burden of business subjects (mining and extraction organisations) in Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, and the Czech Republic. In the contribution, we orientate the research to a detailed analysis of tax rates in chosen countries. The contribution consists of results conclusions, found by analysis, as well as by comparison of the tax burden of V4 business subjects. The result of the problem analysis presents suggestions of the tax mix change and transition to the relatively high tax burden of a job, mainly for low-income employees, to the lower tax burden of high taxes, as for example, environmental taxes. The results are useful for the management of mining organisations, which provide a possibility of financial savings. On the international level, the results serve for the comparing of the financial situation of mining organisations in V4 countries, which is suitable for a determination of raw material states policies.
