The article analyzes the problems associated with illegal logging, as well as its illegal circulation in the territory of the Irkutsk region. Statistical information is analyzed that indicates that the situation in the field of illegal logging is much worse than in the neighboring Krasnoyarsk Territory. The range of subjects called upon to engage in forest conservation is described. A criminologically significant set of causes and conditions of crime in the forest sector is considered. The authors consider the main reasons for illegal logging in the region at the level of society to be defects in the ecological consciousness of citizens and attitudes towards extensive exploitation of the environment for the sake of economic growth. The authors attribute the low level of control over the legal turnover of timber, the shortcomings of the legislative sphere, to the conditions that are conducive to these crimes. The socio-economic factors that contribute to the crimes considered in the territory of the Irkutsk region, rich in forest resources, are analyzed. The problems associated with the degradation of the woodworking industry in the region amid an increase in the number of logging are described in detail. The authors consider shortcomings in the field of regulatory and law enforcement practice, on both a regional and federal level, which makes it possible to commit illegal logging in the region. On the basis of the study conducted, specific legislative, organizational and technical proposals are formulated to prevent crimes in the timber industry of the Irkutsk region. The measures proposed by the authors are partially or fully applicable for similar regions of Russia.

On October 1, 2019, the Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting entered into force with respect to the Russian Federation. The main purpose of the MLI is to establish minimum standards for combating international tax avoidance. The MLI will extend the key approaches of the BEPS plan at once to a large number of bilateral double tax treaties. The application of the MLI is expected from January 1, 2021 in relation to a number of tax treaties concluded by the Russian Federation. At the same time, certain provisions of the MLI leave some questions about their application and may cause new problems for the taxpayers and tax authorities. In the short term, the application of a number of MLI provisions may be expected to increase uncertainty in international tax planning and lead to an increase in the number of disputes over tax treaties. The main purpose of this article is to analyze the key provisions of the MLI and identify possible problems of their enforcement for the subsequent analysis of potential ways to overcome the legal uncertainty of the application of the MLI. To this end, the tasks were set to study the goal of adopting the MLI, and analyze the content and procedure for the application of the MLI, as well as the content of the key standard of the MLI—the principal purpose test. Identifying the problems of law enforcement before the start of active use of the MLI is important, since it would allow one to pay attention to possible problems at an earlier stage and quickly move to their resolution, which would contribute to the formation of a higher level of legal certainty in the field of international tax planning and further development of foreign economic cooperation.

This article is devoted to the study of the mechanisms of tax control of value-added tax reimbursement in Russia and in the Scandinavian countries. The research methodology is based on a comparative analysis of current VAT taxation mechanisms in Russia and in Norway, Sweden, and Finland. In addition, a comparison was made of the basics of organizing the process of tax control over the reimbursement of value added tax in these countries. This paper examines statistical data on the volume of value-added tax receipts to the budget system of the Russian Federation from taxpayers engaged in business activities in the Russian timber industry. It was found that with the General trend of increasing the level of business activity of economic entities in the timber industry, the share of income from value-added tax for the period 2012-2018 was on average negative, due to the presence of significant volumes of export operations and the predominance of VAT refund processes over its payment to the budget system of the Russian Federation. The paper examines the economic essence of the concept of compensation for value added tax on the example of branches of the timber industry as the right of VAT taxpayers established by the legislation on taxes and fees. At the same time, we also studied the negative impact on the level of tax security of the country of mechanisms for unjustified compensation of value-added tax on the example of the Russian timber industry. The mechanism of tax control of the value added tax claimed for reimbursement by taxpayers of the timber industry sectors of the Russian Federation is considered. positive trends in automation of control processes during in-house VAT tax audits are noted. We have studied the processes of value-added tax reimbursement and the mechanisms of tax control of these processes in the Scandinavian countries. Based on the results of the study, recommendations are proposed for adapting certain control methods used by tax authorities of foreign countries in the process of tax control of value-added tax compensation to the existing tax control mechanism in Russia.

The financial position of a company depends on its liquidity, or otherwise, on how soon the funds invested in the assets turn into real money. The growth of non-payments complicates the company’s rhythmic activities (purchase of raw materials, payment of labor and other expenses generated from revenue) and leads to an increase in accounts receivable.
