Introduction. Given the limited own resources of local self-government, it is important to ensure the effective functioning of the mechanism for providing investment subventions from the state budget. Such investment subventions include subventions for the formation of infrastructure in the united territorial communities and subventions for the implementation of measures of socio-economic development of separate territories. The purpose of the paper is the analysis of the mechanism of providing and using investment subventions to local budgets in order to identify disadvantages and eliminate them. Results. Providing an “infrastructure” subvention to local budgets has strengthened the capacity of united territorial communities and to some extent improved the quality of services provided to the population. During 2016–2019, UAH 6.5 billion was allocated from the State Budget of Ukraine to local budgets for infrastructure development and 9475 projects were implemented. With the help of these subventions, schools, kindergartens, outpatient clinics, cultural and sports institutions, water mains and roads were built and repaired, and specialized transport was purchased. However, in recent years, the role of this subvention has decreased significantly due to the fact that the number of UTCs that received an infrastructure subvention during 2016–2021 has increased significantly, and its volume has hardly changed. The amount of subventions from the state budget to local budgets for the implementation of measures for socio-economic development of certain territories has also decreased, which negatively affects the capacity of local governments in the field of investment projects. Conclusion. The volume of investment subventions remains insufficient, and their distribution is partly in a “manual mode”, which creates a favorable environment for political corruption and lobbying.

Unfortunately, tax evasion still exists today. As a result, there is insufficient funding for the public sector of the economy due to a reduction in revenue to the state budget. At the same time, there is a violation of the rules of fair competition. In order to ensure that the fight against tax and tax evasion is as effective as possible, it is important to determine the causes and methods of avoiding taxation, examine the current tax policy, and identify incentive leverage of taxes to replenish the revenue side of the budget. In the course of writing the work, empirical and theoretical research methods were applied, and legitimate ways to derive income from the shadows were identified.

The article examines the influence of public administration and state tax policy on the development of the national tax system. Most countries opt for a moderate taxation policy. Carrying out such a tax policy is aimed at achieving stable economic growth of the country, a favorable tax climate that stimulates the development of economic activity and allows you to effectively solve social problems in the state. The state, through the establishment of tax rates and their types, influences the development of certain sectors or spheres of the economy, thereby increasing the efficiency of economic development. The goal of tax policy is, on the one hand, to establish optimal taxes that do not hinder the development of entrepreneurship, and on the other, to ensure that the budget receives sufficient funds to meet state and local needs. Established in the early 90s, immediately after the proclamation of an independent state in 1991, the tax system of Ukraine was constantly changing in the direction of finding an optimal structure, which allows mobilizing funds at the disposal of the state, distributing and redistributing them for the purposes of economic and social development. The Tax Code of Ukraine establishes the basic principles for determining the subjects of legal relations, their rights and obligations, a list of taxes, fees and mandatory payments that make up the taxation system, objects and tax base, the size of tax rates. In connection with the development of digital technologies, qualitative changes are taking place in the tax administration system. The payer’s electronic cabinet greatly simplifies the technology of relations between taxpayers and regulatory authorities, while eliminating the subjective factor and allows reducing transaction, time, and labor costs. The unfavorable economic situation in Ukraine led to a slowdown in GDP growth and, as a consequence, a decrease in tax revenues. It is possible to increase revenues to the relevant budget due to fair taxation, reduction of the tax burden on tax payers, as well as optimization of the system of control and tax levers of government influence on the economy in order to legalize the income of legal entities and individuals.

At present, the concept of taxation has gone beyond the tax policy of the state and beyond the Tax Code, since there are non-tax payments. In addition, even small businesses may face the peculiarities of international tax information exchange, which will be automated from 2018, since 2017 the role of banks in the area of tax inspections has been strengthened, the concept of unreasonable tax benefit has been changed and the final beneficiary has been verified. Thus, the Russian concept of taxation of small business has recently undergone significant changes.

Therefore, there was the Reform of 1998 in a variety of fields. In reply funsgi decline and the role of government under the Constitution of 1945, there was an opinion with the formation of a new organization outside the government. Gagsan ideas are realized with the establishment of committees that do not require the State budget a little, sometimes a clash of authority between committees also with government agencies. Committees should not be separated from the politics of law. Keywords: Institutionalization of Political Law, Commissions of the State, State Administration System

The article considers some approaches of domestic and foreign scholars to the interpretation of the concept of state’s budgeting mechanism. It involves the following: a set of types, forms, methods and means through which the state establishes budgetary relations; a number of forms, methods, instruments and tools of budgeting process and using budget resources; a practical model of implementation of the state budget policy; a set of tools and methods for government regulation of social and economic development of the state. It is proposed to interpret a budgeting mechanism of the state’s socio-economic development as a set of financial forms, methods, tools, and instruments which ensure a broad range of distribution and redistribution processes; the formation and use of a centralized fund of monetary resources; functioning of the budget system in general and implementation of the budget policy aimed at socio-economic development of the state. The budgeting mechanism of the state’s socio-economic development is viewed through ontological considerations. Taking into account some peculiarities of budgetary relations, two components are highlighted: the mechanism of budgeting process and the mechanism of using budget resources. It is found that the key aspects of functioning and the role of budgeting mechanism in regulating social and economic processes depend on a combination of elements of both components: methods, forms, tools and instruments. Similiarities and differences of financial and budgeting mechanisms of the state are outlined, which provide grounds for interpreting the budgeting mechanism as a special type of financial mechanisms.

Introduction. Clarification of the role of tax receipts in the formation of budget revenues, the dynamic analysis of their absolute and relative values both for the consolidated budget and for the levels of the budget system in the context of constant adjustment of budget and tax legislation becomes relevant and timely, which requires a return to the consideration of this issue. Purpose of the paper is to deepen the theoretical and practical foundations of the nature, composition and structure of tax receipts, their role in filling budgets of different levels. Results. The article demonstrates the inconsistency of the norms of budget and tax legislation that took place before 2011 in the context of determining the composition of tax payments. It is explained the need for preliminary adjustment of the reporting indicators of the treasury before conducting a dynamic analysis of budget revenues. The decisive role of tax revenues in the formation of budget revenues is shown, the dynamics of their actual and real values is presented, the list of budget-forming taxes and fees of consolidated, state and local budgets is named. The role of local taxes and fees in generating revenue for local government budgets is determined. The nature and results of legislative changes in the composition of taxes and fees for the period 2010–2019 are explained. The proportions of differentiation of taxes and fees between budgets are determined and demonstrated, it is shown that the processes of decentralization of funds mainly occur at the level of local budgets, the share of tax revenues of the state budget in the country’s consolidated budget remains stably high. The change in the proportions of the distribution of tax revenues between budgets within the framework of the consolidated budget as a result of the begun practice of forming united territorial communities is demonstrated. Conclusions. A further increase in the importance of tax receipts in budgeting at all levels should be directed towards improving the economic conditions of business entities and their employees, multiplying their income and profits as a real source of funds for filling budgets, rather than being the result of formal changes budget and tax laws.
