Countries of former Yugoslavia and Albania are considered as countries with many common problems as well as changes, which in this context are regarded as insignificant. On their way towards development, these countries are characterized by common problem, among which the most sensitive have been and still remain, unemployment, increasingly compressed public administration, unjustified optimism when planning the budget, mismanagement of public finances and poor fiscal discipline which mostly depends on being or not an election year. In these countries we notice the lack of harmony between economic and fiscal policies and the real needs of the economy. This is seen as other major common ofWest Balkan countries. This similiarity of problems narrows the possibility of competition associated to the foreign investment absorbing capacity. But, which is the moacroeconomic picture in the countries of West Balkan? What are their tax systems? How much are the foreign direct investments? Does the tax system serve as a promoter for these invvestments? This paper represents a comparative analysis of the fiscal systems in the countries of this region. The subject of this paper is the protection with arguments of the economic and fiscal policy which are built for the economic development of a country. This because we are given that there are two types of experiences related to tax system, one of which handles taxes as instruments for revenue collection and the other as a promoter factor for economic development.

The chapter examines tax structure and its relation to good governance and economic development in the MENA countries. First, it discusses how different tax systems and tax structures in the region compared with other countries. MENA region can be characterized with low level of tax-to-GDP ratio compared to other groups of countries. However, tax systems considerably diverge within the region. Most importantly, whether having hydrocarbon revenues meaningfully divides the region's countries with respect to tax composition, tax levels, tax ratios and tax regimes. Literature suggests that natural resource revenue is also an important determinant of governance and institutional development that have impact on economic development, while good governance, a more legitimate and responsive state is an essential factor for a more adequate level of tax effort. Therefore, the second section of the study examines the relationships between taxation and good governance with emphasis on the MENA region.

The article is devoted to the problem of tax systems’ transformation in the era of digital economic development. The authors highlight the problem of technological unemployment and growing income inequality as the article’s primary concern, which they explain using a gap in workers’ professionalism and qualifications. The authors highlight various possible consequences for the tax systems of developed and developing countries. Based on this analysis, the authors also consider the prospects for multilateral cooperation as an instrument of economic policy that aims to slow the rate of technological unemployment and the growth of inequality (both between and within countries). Having studied developed and developing countries’ economic interests, in their concluding arguments, the authors suggest that a cooperation scenario is currently unlikely, which places the poorest countries’ tax systems in an extremely vulnerable position. The final part of this article explores the Russian tax system’s adaptation to digital economic challenges. This article was prepared as part of research by state assignment at the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration

В данном исследовании была сделана попытка установить связь между стадией экономического развития государства со сформировавшейся моделью налоговой системы на примере налоговой системы КНР. В рамках проведенного анализа первоначально обосновывалось отнесение национальной экономики к той или иной стадии экономического развития. Далее на основе изучения особенностей налоговой системы был сформирован перечень характеристик, присущих налоговым системам государств, находящихся на индустриальном этапе развития. The study establishes a connection between the stage of economic development of the state and the established model of the tax system using the example of the tax system in China. First of all, the attribution of the national economy to a particular stage of economic development is justified. Then, on the basis of studying the features of the tax system, a list of characteristics inherent to the tax systems of states at the industrial stage of development was formed.

Formulation of the problem. The well-being and efficiency of the country's economy depends largely on the state of its tax system, which is greatly influenced by changeable economic conditions, the development of foreign trade, and active processes of integration and globalization. The modern tax system must meet the standards of the economy of the world and rely on the realities of economic development and the specifics of the country. The aim of the research is to analyze the transformations of the tax systems of the European Union within the framework of the consolidation of its domestic policy during the crisis period and to evaluate the effectiveness of the measures taken. The object of the research is tax systems of the European Union is an association of countries with different levels of economic development. Methods used of the research. The use of the induction method allowed us to designate directions for improving the tax system of the European Union as a single mechanism by consolidating changes in individual countries. This experience made it possible to identify countries that carried out similar activities, and to assess the effectiveness of the implementation of reforms. The hypothesis of the research .The functioning of the internal market of the European Union depends on the existence of a single tax on all transactions within it, which ensures the free circulation of goods and services and prevents discrimination. The statement of basic materials. Many European Union domestic policies are redistributive in nature (single monetary, monetary, agricultural, social and regional policies) and depend on a common fiscal policy. Originality and practical significance of the research is to justify that the basis of a monetary union should be a coordinated fiscal policy that requires many transformations. In fact, this means that the tax environment of the European Union is not fully harmonized, but is based on common principles. Conclusions of the research. The study of the practice of reforming the tax systems of the countries - members of the European Union during the crisis period makes it possible to assess the possibilities of transforming the elements of taxation and to determine the most favorable trends in this area.

The article provides a fundamental analysis of the tax systems of Japan and China, which includes the study of the internal macroeconomic conditions of the tax policy, the analysis of the fundamental factors of the implementation of the tax model used. Parallels have been drawn between the industrial (the predominant share of industry in the structure of the economy) China and post-industrial Japan (the predominant share of the service sector and the high rate of introduction of innovative technologies into the economy). The features characteristic of the industrial and post-industrial tax systems of the countries of the Asian region have been formulated based on the conducted analysis. The conclusion of the study was a vector model that characterizes the main elements of the tax policy.
