The purpose is to determine the features of the formation and development of local budgets in terms of administrative-territorial reform. Methods used in the research process: monographic, historical, system-structural analysis and synthesis, statistical-economic and other research methods. Results. Peculiarities of formation and development of local budgets are revealed and their content and structure are determined. The most significant problems in the field of local budget formation in Ukraine are pointed out. The assessment and analysis of the effectiveness of the formation and directions of development of local budgets for the period 2018-2019 are carried out. Formation and development of local budgets in terms of administrative-territorial reform and decentralization of power should be carried out in stages, purposefully and consistently. They should be based on the results of monitoring the main indicators and indicators of the financial and economic situation. This will avoid mistakes, irrational costs, so these issues remain quite controversial. The formation of local budgets and the efficient use of their financial resources are the priorities of administrative-territorial reform and decentralization of power in Ukraine. They should become tools that will create such conditions for transformation, where each territory (community) will be an independent and full-fledged owner of resources for development and growth. Independent local budgets must fully satisfy the functions and powers of local authorities. Therefore, the financial decentralization of the united territorial communities is an important lever in establishing them as independent and financially independent economic entities of the country and its regions. Practical meaning: local governments, city and district councils, institutions of higher education. Prospects for further research. Their prospects in the conditions of decentralization of power and other measures of administrative-territorial reform are substantiated.

Introduction: the paradox of the judicial practice on claims of the municipal authorities on forcing the conclusion of lease agreements of land plots with the owners of parking spaces in the underground parking lots (garages). The Tax Code of the Russian Federation (Article 15 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation) establishes a fee for the use of land. The forms of payment for the use of land are land tax and rent. Article 15 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation establishes that the land tax refers to local taxes and the payment for it goes to the local budget of the municipality in whose territory the tax was introduced. The right of ownership of land (real estate) is registered and is publicly available. The tax authorities immediately issue payment receipts and the owners pay the tax, so the payment for the use of land is observed. Nevertheless, the municipal authorities (the departments of municipal property of the DMI) require owners to conclude lease agreements, lease their property and pay a fee to the local budget. The courts satisfy such claims and create a paradox that does not meet the requirements of the Constitution of the Russian Federation (Article 36), the requirements of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, which establishes that the landlord can only be the owner or a person authorized by law or the owner to lease the property (Article 608 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). It is paradoxical, but that’s the fact that the owner of his property becomes both a landlord and a tenant of his property. And the departments receive double payment for the use of land in the form of a local tax and in the form of rent. It is necessary to formulate the norms of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and the Civil Code of the Russian Federation more clearly and expressly so that there is no possibility of a paradoxical interpretation of the procedure for their application. In addition, the courts recognize the owner as unreasonably enriched, since the registered ownership of the land plot is not considered a sufficient legal basis to use his property. The purpose of the study is the author’s attempts to show contradictions in the judicial practice on the application of the norms of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, and the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Methods: in the process of the research, the method of a systematic approach to the study of legal concepts, comparative legal analysis, and synthesis was used. Results: the author clearly shows the conflict of interests of the owners of land plots and the departments of municipal property. As a result of the study, it is shown that the wording of the norms of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and the Civil Code of the Russian Federation allows them to be interpreted differently and, accordingly, applied differently. Conclusions: the author proposes the rules for the exact interpretation of the norms of law and changes in the judicial practice in such cases.

Local governments play a significant role in the life of the community and the national economy which can be achieved in fiscal health conditions reflected in the low disparity in income structure towards regional expenditure. The inability of regions to escape fiscal dependence is due to the low income, especially from Pendapatan Asli Daerah, which causes fiscal stress which then impacts on policies and implementation of regional spending through spending on programs and activities. This study will examine the relationship between Fiscal Stress and Pendapatan Asli Daerah and expenditure of East Nusa Tenggara Province through simple linear regression testing using secondary data Pertumbuhan Pendapatan Asli Daerah and Belanja Langsung using a sample of six (6) districts / cities in 2014-2016 The results of the study show that the fiscal stress variable does not affect the income structure through Pertumbuhan Pendapatan Asli Daerah and Belanja Langsung at a significance level of <0.05. The results of this study contribute to local budget policies and theoretically to the use of direct expenditure variables that are different from previous studies. Key Words: Fiscal Health, Fiscal Stress, Pendapatan Asli Daerah, dan Belanja Langsung

The article is devoted to the organization and activities of the Central Snitch Squad at the Saint-Petersburg Security Department for ensuring the security of the head of state in the Russian Empire. The normative basis for the activities of agents of the Central Snitch Squad and the specifics of implementation of their job descriptions are described in the article. The Central Snitch Squad was a separate division of the Search and Surveillance Service of the Russian Empire, which solved the various and most complex tasks of search-and-surveillance. The Central Snitch Squad operated until the fall of the monarchy in February 1917, but the experience gained by it in fulfilling tasks of national importance continues to be used in modern Russia. At the same time, the issues of the organization and functioning of the Central Snitch Squad have not received a comprehensive analysis yet. One of the activities of the Central Snitch Squad, which has not received proper coverage in historical and legal literature, is the protection of imperial majesties in the Russian Empire at the beginning of the 20th century. Therefore, its regulation and implementation has become the subject of this article. The main and integrating method of research on the organization and activities of the Central Snitch Squad was the method of materialist dialectics. General logical (deduction, induction, analysis and synthesis), general scientific (systemic, structural-functional, typologization) and special (formal-legal, historical-legal, comparative-legal, interpretations of regulatory legal acts, sociological and statistical) methods of legal research were used. It was concluded that the protection of imperial majesties and the highest persons in the Russian Empire was one of the most important areas of activity of the gendarmerie. The simultaneous existence of three different divisions that guarded the emperor ‒ the Central Snitch Squad, the Security Unit and the Security Agency led to duplication of agents activities and inconsistent actions of the units. The Central Snitch Squad of the Saint-Petersburg Security Department has accumulated a variety of search-and-surveillance experience that can be used to solve problems of national importance in modern Russia.
