Tax incentives are specific and targeted tax instruments in the economic and social policy of the state. With appropriate tools, the state can support the creation of new jobs and also the sustainability of human resources in existing companies. The article deals with the issue of stimulation of companies in Slovakia and the suitability of the applied incentives in connection with the business environment. The aim of the paper is to approach and analyze the impact of tax incentives applied in the Slovak Republic and evaluate them based on their impact on business entities, respectively business environment. The analysis of the overall development of provided tax incentives in the Slovak Republic is focused on the period from 2002 to 2018. The paper uses the method of analysis and synthesis together with the methods of tabular and graphical representation. Mathematical and statistical methods are used in individual calculations. On the one hand, it can be stated that tax incentives are important, even necessary, for countries, given the inflow of foreign capital, but on the other hand, domestic businesses are disadvantaged by which foreign investors disrupt the domestic business environment.

The study is devoted to the interaction of the interests of business entities and the interests of subjects of the corporate environment, as well as determining the possibility of targeting accounting and financial activities in the business environment, taking into account the social constraints associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of the article is to study the processes of the possibility of targeting accounting and financial interaction of business entities in various conditions of the development of the business environment. The subject of the research is the accounting and financial interaction of business entities both within the country and abroad in the context of the introduction of various social and behavioral restrictions on doing business. The hypothesis of the study – the definition of specific target categories of accounting and financial interaction of the subjects of state subsidies will provide a specific algorithm for determining the feasibility of implementing some business initiatives and reducing others, precisely in the context of the introduction of social and behavioral restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods used in the study: system analysis, economic and statistical methods, information processing, method of logical generalization of results, expert assessments, etc. Presentation of the main material. The article examines the conditions for targeting accounting and financial interaction of business entities, designed to use the factors of competitiveness that were underutilized in the past period in the business environment. This systematization pursues the goal on the part of the state to introduce a system of economic incentives, changes in macroeconomic parameters (reduction of inflation, emphasis on attracting long-term money to the economy, growth of business activity and private investment, changes in the structure of budget expenditures), and on the part of the state entities themselves – situational assessment their own capabilities and threats, subject to the introduction of social and behavioral restrictions. The practical significance of the results obtained lies in the possibility of using the developed recommendations for an independent analysis of the possibility of introducing a target in the field of accounting and financial interaction of business entities in Ukraine. Conclusions and prospects for further research. Targeting accounting and financial interaction of business entities to ensure contractual stability between partners provides for compliance with the regime of floating, but stable relations (depending on the conditions of socio-behavioral restrictions), the fluctuations of which serve as the main buffer against the impact of external shocks on the economy of Ukraine as a whole. Further research will be aimed at determining the feasibility of target procedures in the tax environment and identifying the prospects for the introduction of target tools for targeted interaction with various audiences for administering tax payments

The article presents an analysis of the experience in developing European border areas and a theoretical basis for analyzing investment attractiveness of their business environment. The specifics of such regions, the possibilities and restrictions imposed on them by such an arrangement and, accordingly, determining the approaches to the management of business entities on its territory are described. The specificity of the Russian-Belarusian border area in modern conditions is analyzed. On the one hand, the border location of the regions provides its residents with additional opportunities for the implementation of business ideas of international trade and cooperation, and on the other hand, it can significantly change the business environment in comparison with other regions of the state, increasing competition and creating additional risks for entrepreneurs. For Russia and other independent states of the post-Soviet space, the issues of adaptation of the population and economy of the regions of the new and “old” borderlands to the geopolitical changes that have taken place are urgent. The problems of foreign trade cooperation of these border regions have been repeatedly considered in the works of modern scientists. The main focus is on studying the impact of the formation of the Union State on the relationship between business entities of Russia and the Republic of Belarus. Based on the analysis carried out, the article proposes a methodology for assessing the investment attractiveness of the business environment in the regions of the border area of the Vitebsk, Mogilev and Smolensk regions (Dnieper-Dvina region) and assessing changes in the behavior patterns of subjects in this territory under conditions of interstate integration based on the resource approach. The methodology is aimed at identifying imbalances and unused opportunities for economic growth for the subsequent substantiation of options for a strategy for their socio-economic development. The revealed patterns should help explain the reason for the lag of the level of socio-economic development of these regions from the national one.

Abstract. Introduction. In modern economic theory, theoretical discussions constantly arise about the feasibility and effectiveness of tax incentives. Tax incentives, under certain conditions, are an effective tool for supporting national competitiveness and creating a new technological core of any economic system, especially a transformational one. At the same time, the conditions for the effectiveness of the benefits provided are their strict purpose, time constraints and constant comprehensive monitoring. In addition, benefits have a certain psychological effect on business entities and increase the investment activity of enterprises. On the other hand, the ineffective practice of preferential taxation contributes to the formation of significant losses of budgetary resources of the state, which leads to a violation of economic stability, a slowdown in economic development and a decrease in the level of financial security of the state. The above confirms the relevance of the study of the impact of tax incentives on the formation of budget revenues, as well as the search for ways to optimize preferential taxation in Ukraine. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to summarize the theoretical aspects of the use of tax incentives as an instrument of tax regulation and to study the effect of preferential taxation on the formation of budget revenues in Ukraine. Results. The theoretical foundations of the functioning of tax incentives are considered. Approaches to the interpretation of the concept of "tax incentive" are generalized and its economic essence is revealed. The advantages and disadvantages of tax incentives, the rights of taxpayers to use tax incentives have been identified. The types of tax benefits in terms of direct taxes have been investigated and systematized. The analysis of losses of the state and local budgets from the provision of tax incentives has been carried out. The main sectors of the economy have been identified and analyzed, where more tax benefits are directed. Conclusions.It was found that the system of providing tax incentives in Ukraine is ineffective. Therefore, there is no doubt about the need to reduce the volume of tax benefits provided to business entities, mainly on non-transparent principles and lead to large-scale budget losses. Tax breaks are not directed to those industries that really need support, but to those that are lobbied in parliament. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce a clear mechanism for the provision of tax benefits, their monitoring, control of losses and benefits of each benefit. Proposals have been developed to improve the system of granting tax benefits and to strengthen control over their development.

Digital technologies have changed the relationship between the society and business entities, taxpayers and the state. Ceteris paribus, the ability to effectively manage financial flows and make administrative decisions depends on the correct and established interaction between the state and taxpayers. This study aims to form and develop a taxpayer’s understanding of the digital age with all its features and opportunities for information and communication technologies, including mathematical modeling methods that form the basis of the digital economy for building and sustaining business development, improving the systemic vision of business processes. The research hypothesis is that the further development of economic entities management in the digital context, as well as the coordination of these entities’ interests, is possible only in the partnership of the key economic participants, with the taxpayer at the forefront. That will allow identifying the areas for improving tax trajectories. Using polynomial approximation, the authors have obtained the models of tax trajectories of companies that allow predicting tax burden. The data for approximations are obtained using the previously constructed mathematical model of the optimal tax path. The main input data of the model are fixed assets and human resources, the totality of which form the production function. The analysis of the transformation of tax paths shows ways for achieving a balance of interests between both the state and the taxpayers. Finding this balance will help to overcome the crisis of confidence in the authorities, the development of adaptability and creativity of Russian society to new tax changes. A number of parameters determines the scale of this task. They include the complexity of the object of study, the long-term and multi-aspect nature of the impact which modeling the digital economy has on adaptation to the new digital realities of the state and taxpayers, as well as the absence of significant analogues of the solution to this problem in global and Russian economics.

Environmental scanning yields greater anticipatory management that provides important inputs for aquitision and use of information for planning and designing organization strategies. Apart from this, effective environmental scanning activities are likely to deal with threats and grasp the opportunities to finally link with enhancing organizational effectiveness. In fact this relationship matrix has led the researchers to conduct an environmental scanning through an examination of the existing status the components of the macro-environment vis-a-vis their relationship with the organizational effectiveness. There are a number of approaches, which describe the macro-environment, of which PEST analysis is regarded as the most common approach for considering the external business environment. Thus, the present study applies PEST analysis to scan the existing business environment. Jammu and Kashmir due to its peculiar political, geographical, economic, and socio-cultural features, had led its cost mountain economy become a distinctive identity. Despite the fact that the state has rich endowments, international relations with its neighbours vis-a-vis its impact on political environment also pose developmental challenges for the business units operating in the state. This has provided valid rationale for conducting the present. The environmental scanning is done through the perception of the select entrepreneurs operating MSMEs in the state of J & K. An impact analysis of environmental factors (PEST) on the organizational effectiveness is also done in the study. The findings of the study show that the political environment of the state that is not favourable for entrepreneural development whereas the rest of the other drivers of PEST i.e. economic environment, socio-cultural environment, and technological environment show a favourable response of the entrepreneurs. In terms of cause and effect relationship, it is found that the first two drivers of the PEST i.e. political and economic dimension impacts OE positively whereas the other two dimensions namely socio-cultural and technological impacts OE negatively but it is pertinent to mention that the impact is very less and is insigninificant. The study also suggests some of strategic options for developing and creating an enabling environment for successful entrepreneurial development to achieve integrated development of the state.

This article is the result of an investigation about tax incentives in the State of Maranhão, where the purpose was to answer the question: what is the efficiency of tax incentives in relation to the impact on the state of employment? The hypothesis behind this research is that the idea of the Maranese government to create fiscal incentives to stimulate the generation of employment and income can not impact the regions with low human development index (HDI). The general objective of this article is to verify the relationship between the fiscal incentive and the balance of jobs between 2010 and 2016 in Maranhão in regions with lower HDI. The specific objectives are: to investigate the policy of granting the fiscal incentive "more companies" in Maranhão; compare the number of jobs generated with the number of companies that benefited from the tax incentive; to verify the evolution of the jobs generated in each mesoregion and to know the economic activities that generate more jobs in the state. This study is justified because it believes in the relevance it can bring to the academic environment and to the society that encompasses government, companies and professionals, since it presents a more comprehensive perspective regarding economic development in the local regional government of Maranhão. It considers the methodology of this study, a field research, but of quantitative-descriptive character. Among the results, it was identified that the fiscal incentive had no impact on job creation in the Meso-regions that have the lowest HDI indices in the state of Maranhão between 2010 and 2016.

The structure of the business environment, as part of the socio-economic situation, indirectly affects a citizen’s quality of life. A “friendly” business environment has a positive effect on job formation, thus helping with employment. A country encourages formation and development of large enterprises through various incentives that reduce regional disparities, especially in less-developed regions. Nevertheless, a huge majority of enterprises in the European Union are small- and medium-sized. Self-employed persons are considered a specific form of business. Their activity is strongly influenced by state policy. This paper analyzes the business environment in regions of the Slovak Republic. Its principal aim is to examine the development of regional disparities and the related quality of citizens’ lives. An evaluation of statistical data of the structure of the business environment in the Slovak Republic indicated a change in legal units in relation to business. Although the number of legal units are stable, the number of legal persons has increased and that of natural persons-entrepreneurs decreased. Deepening of regional disparities was not observed across regions of the Slovak Republic.

The successful functioning of business entities and their achievement of strategic advantages in a competitive environment largely depend on the effectiveness of their innovative activities. Therefore, an important area of tax regulation in the country should be to stimulate the attraction of investments for the introduction of innovations into economic activities. The purpose of the article is to assess the tax regulation of innovative activities of business entities in Ukraine and to develop proposals for its improvement. To achieve this goal, a systematic approach, an abstract-logical method, an economic-statistical and a comparison method were used. The authors analyzed the state of legislative regulation of innovative activity in Ukraine and identified its shortcomings regarding the interpretation of the concept of «innovative activity». The methods of tax incentives for innovative activities, contained in the legislation of Ukraine, have been investigated. It is proved that, unlike foreign countries, tax support for innovative projects in Ukraine has not yet received a stimulating character and has not become a means of activating the process of modernizing the material and technical base of enterprises. It was stated that according to the indicators of the European Innovation Board (EIT), the position of Ukraine is defined as the crane «Innovator that is being formed». It is noted that it is possible to start the process of innovative renewal of the national economy, subject to the introduction of a policy of tax incentives and the construction of an effective taxation model for innovative activities of a stimulating nature. The state of foreign investment and innovation activity of business entities in Ukraine has been analyzed. The possible directions of using tax instruments to stimulate innovative technologies have been substantiated, which include tax holidays for startups, the use of accelerated depreciation, a tax credit for the payment of payroll taxes, the introduction of a tax credit for income tax, a deferral of tax payments and carry forward of losses.
