Norway has 5 million inhabitants, of whom 200,000 are aged above 80 years. The country is a welfare state, with a tax system covering most health services for its citizens. It is estimated that 78,000 people in Norway suffer from dementia, of whom 60% live at home and the remainder in residential care. In 2007, the first National Dementia Plan was launched (2007–2015), and the second in 2016 (2016–2020). The main goals of the two Plans are to develop services across the country to improve the care and quality of life for all people with dementia and their family caregivers, as well as increase the knowledge of dementia among healthcare professionals. In addition, the Plans also aim to improve awareness of dementia in society as a whole and to develop and implement measures to help create a more dementia-friendly society.

The creation of an optimal tax system remains a challenge even in the developed world, and is a subject of constant debate and discussion among scholars as well as political and business circles. In this context, especially in the context of modern economic development in Georgia, it is important to identify and discuss one of the most important parts of the tax system - tax administration, ways to improve it and its effective implementation. In order to improve tax administration, it is important at the first stage to identify the elements that are vital for improving not only tax administration but also the overall tax system. This requires a coherent policy that ultimately will make a significant contribution to the country›s economy. Enhancing trust in tax system, constructive and trust-based dialogue, transparent procedures for conscientious (bona fide) taxpayer, as an encouragement of the “cornerstone” of the tax system, increasing efficiency of Revenue Service, developing an ascertainable and unambiguous legislation, reducing the time of tax disputes and enhancing the quality of decisions and, most importantly, raising the taxpayer’s payment culture as the part of the national self-consciousness, - this, in our opinion, is incomplete, however prioritized list of elements, that will provide a significant boost to the overall tax system and, ultimately, to the country’s economy. Taking into account the development problems of tax administration, the competent circles’ «proper interest», and our consistent and comprehensive implementation of the stressed instruments into the system development process will play an important role in establishing tax administration as a mechanism to stimulate economic development.

Throughout its entire history Russian tax system has been built on the prevalence of indirect taxation. In the Russian tax system such taxes account for more than 60 % and their level and amount has a significant impact on the economy. The ratio between direct and indirect taxes is one of the indicators of the quality of the tax system. Unlike direct indirect taxes increase the formed price of products (goods, works, services), the final payer of indirect taxes is the buyer. Indirect taxes have a more complex impact on economic processes through pricing, both at the macro level and at the micro level. We defined the role of indirect taxes in the regulation of processes at the micro level, namely, the functioning of economic agents in the course of their production, distribution, consumer, and exchange activities. The research found the following microeconomic effects of indirect taxes: changes in supply and demand; deformation of the behavior of economic agents; decrease in entrepreneurial activity; the emergence of an additional factor of production. The study also showed possible consequences of the increase in the rates of indirect taxes for the country's economy.


Significance Although both the bill’s legislative future and the amount it would raise are uncertain, it reflects ever more explicit class polarisation and anger over inequalities. Impacts Chile’s current fiscal situation will increase the salience of the efficiency of public spending and its targeting. Through its impact on the quality of public services, Chile’s low tax burden helps to lock in inequalities. The regressive nature of Chile’s tax system is likely to be exploited by left-wing candidates in the 2021 presidential race.

This article is devoted to issues of national tax system effectiveness and overcoming existing problems with it. Under the current conditions, taxes are the integral lever of government influence on the countrys market economy. As a result, the level of development of the national economy and the conditions in its social sphere are directly influenced by the state of the tax system. The author considers it possible to ascertain the efficiency of the tax system in the broadest sense, namely as an aggregate level of achievement, by its goals. Those goals are set in accordance with the functions of taxation. However, when they are realized, significant disparities and even narrowed interpretations of functions arise. As a result, the existing tax system is flawed and unable to achieve high operational efficiency. As one of the most important problems, the author singles out the problem of incomplete fiscal performance due to insufficient tax discipline arising from a low level of tax culture. The author offers a proprietary interpretation of the factors influencing the specific actions of tax decision makers. From the point of view of tax culture, they are divided into factions that make up the tax culture, factions formed and determined by the prevailing tax culture, and others developed under the influence of alternate circumstances. The author considers the most complete and logical understanding of tax culture to be the level of citizen awareness of the importance of taxes as a source of financing the existence of the state and the performance of its functions. With this interpretation, it is justified to assume that citizens compare the degree of decline in their levels and quality of life due to their taxes, and increases in the quality of their lives by means of the implementation of social and other public functions. The prevalence of the latter leads to increased tax disciplineand the former to its decrease. Although these assessments are always subjective, they can serve as bases for the formation of objective directions for improving the activities of tax authorities and educational institutions and, by extension, the tax discipline of citizens and the business community. The effects are economically measurable and long-term.

Indirect taxes play an important role in the Russian tax system, one of which is VAT. Value added tax is one of the most complex taxes in the Russian tax system. The article is devoted to the study of changes in budget income from the increased VAT rate. A comparative analysis of changes in budget income from an increased VAT rate is carried out. The list of basic and special indicators of changes in budget income from the increased VAT rate has been clarified. Particular attention is paid to the facts that have a significant impact on changes in budget income with an increased VAT rate. VAT is capable of ensuring the stability of the entire Russian system of public finance in the long term, not to mention the fact that stability is especially important in a crisis. Therefore, any steps to change the tax, especially in the direction of increasing, should be carefully calculated from all possible points of view, and not only from the side of additional income to the budget. In this regard, the objectives of this study are to determine the significance of factors affecting the quality of VAT administration, to identify the main constraints that reduce the efficiency of VAT collection in the OECD countries and Russia, and to develop recommendations for improving the quality of VAT administration in Russia.
