Tax system in an unstable economy

The purpose of the article is to examine the state of the tax system in an unstable economy. The initial condition is the lack of uniform methodological and methodological approaches to the formation and organization of the tax system. This study is based on the theoretical provisions of the institutional theory, systemic and synergistic approaches. The main research methods used were analysis and synthesis, methods of induction and deduction, the method of designing hypotheses. The article examines the dynamics and structure of tax payments in the traditional approach to tax regulation. The question of determining the role of direct and indirect taxes is undoubtedly important for a comprehensive analysis of the taxation system since the influence of each of them on the economy is differentiated. The directions of modernization of the system of taxation regulation, the impact of mechanisms, methods, and instruments of tax regulation on various segments of the national economy, primarily on industries that ensure economic growth, have been investigated. The lack of a clear structuring of the elements of tax revenues becomes a serious obstacle to obtaining an adequate assessment of the impact of tax policy on various aspects of the country's socio-economic development. The state tax policy should be aimed at balancing the budget, improving the quality of its implementation, adhering to the timing of the budgetary process and, as a result, ensuring socioeconomic growth. The theoretical and practical significance of the study is to substantiate the need to adapt the tax system to ensure sustainable growth of the national economy.

NETHERLANDS SEEKING FOR A NEW BALANCE IN THE INTERNATIONAL TAXATION

The article examines the combination of the Netherlands’ departure from the role of a transit jurisdiction for capital from all over the world and their struggle to attract the headquarters of multinational companies, including those migrating from the UK due to Brexit. It is shown that these processes are due to both fundamental reasons and the current need of countries for tax refunds to replenish their budgets to cover the consequences of the pandemic crisis. The author comes to the conclusion that the restructuring of the rules of international tax regulation which is going on now, may cause clashes of countries’ interests and strategies, which is illustrated by the example of the breakdown of the Agreement on the avoidance of double taxation between Russia and the Netherlands.

Effects of Government Subsidies on Production and Emissions Reduction Decisions under Carbon Tax Regulation and Consumer Low-Carbon Awareness

To promote low-carbon production, the government simultaneously provides some subsidies under carbon tax regulations. Two government subsidies are widely adopted: one is based on emissions reduction quantity and the other is based on emissions reduction investment cost. Additionally, consumer low-carbon awareness has also been enhanced. Considering the aforementioned circumstances, this paper investigates the effects of different government subsidies on production and emissions reduction decisions under a carbon tax regulation by formulating three decision-making optimization models. The results show that (1) although the carbon tax regulation cannot guarantee further improvement of emissions reduction levels, government subsidies could make the corresponding conditions of improving emissions reduction investments wider; (2) a heavy carbon tax or stronger consumer low-carbon awareness would make the positive effect of government subsidies more apparent; and (3) subsidy policies may also be selected by the government from different perspectives, such as manufacturer development, consumer surplus, environmental damage and social welfare. Especially, from the perspective of maximizing social welfare, investment cost (IC) subsidy is not always advantageous, while emissions reduction (ER) subsidy can always bring higher social welfare compared with the case under no government subsidy.

Legal regulation of the administration of taxes and сharges in the conditions of construction of the digital economy: discussion aspects

Problem setting. Digital technologies are one of the most current trends, with the help of which new models of interaction between the state, business and citizens are being formed. New methods of doing business involve constant work with data, which entails significant changes in traditional sectors of the economy. It should be emphasized that the development of digital processes leads to a significant increase in financial flows that are outside the scope of legal regulation. It seems that in order to adapt to the challenges of digital technologies, there is a need to develop its own (national) digital ecosystem, which will cover the field of tax regulation. Analysis of recent research. The study of some aspects of digitalization in the field of taxation has been the subject of scientific research by such scholars as O. Dmytryk, M. Kucheryavenko, D. Kobylnik, V. Ryadinska, K. Tokarіeva, and others. At the same time, the above direction is developing rapidly, and this in turn requires appropriate timely regulation and reflection in the law. In view of the above, the purpose of the article is to analyze the legal regulation of taxation in the digital economy. Article’s main body. The article discusses the features of legal regulation of the sphere of taxation in the conditions of building a digital economy. It was emphasized that the introduction of digital technologies into tax regulation has both positive (implementation of the principle of taxation convenience, the formation of a service model of interaction between authorities and obligated participants in tax relations) and negative aspects (fragmentary legal regulation, the need to implement mechanisms for protecting tax information included in the corresponding electronic services, bases). Based on the analysis of a number of acts of promising legislation of Ukraine: the introduction of a special legal (including tax) regime of Diya City was subjected to a critical analysis; the legislator's approach to the regulation of taxation relations for the delivery of electronic services to individuals by non-residents was positively assessed. Conclusions and prospects for the development. The formation of a service model of the tax authorities provides for even broader interaction of tax authorities with taxpayers in electronic form. It should be noted that the interaction of taxpayers with the tax authorities through "digital channels" can be both positive and negative, which largely depends on the ease of use of the service (thus increasing the convenience and efficiency of interaction between taxpayers). In addition, the analysis of the legal regulation of taxation in the digital economy in Ukraine indicates the need for comprehensive development of effective mechanisms for each specific tax (or even legal regime) and data protection mechanisms provided by the subjects of tax relations to the relevant electronic databases, registers, offices, etc.
