The development of the small business sector and the maintenance of a high level of competition is a key step towards ensuring the sustainable development of the national economy. Small business also contributes to the restructuring of the state, increasing production, creating new jobs and introducing innovative technologies in areas where large business would not be so effective. However, the path to starting a small business is uneven, with many pitfalls and obstacles to jump. Accordingly, the governments of most countries are obliged to support small businesses in any way to protect the economy as a whole. So, in order for small and medium-sized businesses to develop gradually, they desperately need clear and understandable rules of the game in today's market, as well as favorable conditions for uninterrupted operation. To this end, it is necessary to formulate a clear unified state policy on small business, using international experience.

Qualitative Characteristics

This main objective of this article is defining capacity of small business to act as compensator of negative trends, emerging in sphere of employment in large and medium sized business of Ukrainian economy. Authors are focused not only on the availability of working places created in small business for persons, vacated from large and medium sized enterprises, but on the small business capacity to create economic preconditions for improving qualitative characteristics of employment in this sector and in whole economy. Authors have built the multiplicative term, which expresses impact, caused by different characteristics of economic activity in small and large and medium sized business on the payroll dynamics as main indicator of economic potential for improvement characteristics of employment in appropriate economy’s sector. The first factor — is the total number of enterprises, as the expression of entrepreneurs’ economic activity and their preference to working in the official (registered) sector of the national economy. Second factor — is the average number of employees in enterprise of certain sector, as the expression of scale of resources, accumulated by average entity for economic activity. Third, the scale of output, created by unit employee in certain sector, as the expression of productivity level of labor resource, involved in this sector. Fourth, the volume of payroll is affected by the distribution of total output (which was used for estimation of labor productivity) between different directions of productive consumption, i.e. the share of payroll in the total revenue of small enterprises. The results obtained by factors analysis didn’t prove the thesis about small business capacity to compensate the negative trends, observed concerning employment in sectors of large and middle business of Ukrainian economy. The trends prevailing in creation and distribution of added value in small business does not contribute to improvement of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of employment in small business and whole Ukrainian economy. This situation indicates that small businesses in the face of negative macroeconomic dynamics have been unable to accumulate resources (at least by concentrating resources on fewer businesses that will be able to ensure higher efficiency) needed to improve the impact of the small business sector on the reproduction of employment in the economy of Ukraine. In addition, the significant lag in the level of wages in small business from large and medium and from the average level of the economy remains an important element of the mechanism for reproducing the low level of wages in Ukraine.

Taxation System

Introduction. The development of a simplified accounting and reporting system has a significant impact on tax legislation, which involves the use of simplified tax regimes for small businesses. The entry into force in 2011 of the Tax Code of Ukraine affected the composition of the elements of the simplified accounting and reporting system, which led to the emergence of new and the possibility of refusing to use the traditional elements of this system. Purpose. The article aims to formulate criteria and elaborate algorithm for selecting elements of a simplified accounting and reporting system by small enterprises. Method (methodology). In the process of research, method of system approach, method of analysis and synthesis, method of generalization and comparison have been used. Results. It has been established that within the simplified accounting and reporting system its subsystem appeared. This subsystem is created for simplified accounting of incomes and expenses. The main elements of such a system are the Simplified Financial Statement of the Small Business Entity and the accounting registers that are identified by the "Methodological Recommendations for the Application of Small Business Registers" No. 720. They are created without the use of the Account Schedule and double entry. The expediency of using the concept of "simplified accounting and reporting system for non-payment of VAT" has been substantiated. The defining criterion for conduction of simplified accounting of incomes and expenses is the lack of registration of a small enterprise by a VAT payer. The algorithm of the choice of the small business entity for the elements of the simplified accounting and reporting system depending on the taxation system has been developed. The possibility of generating this system of information for calculation of tax, statistical and other forms of reporting has been considered in the research.

Alliance Structure

Despite the proclaimed advantages of small-business strategic alliances, little research has been carried out to determine whether these structures promote the benefits and/or “cushion” the disadvantages arising from e-commerce adoption for member businesses. There has also been a lack of research into comparing e-commerce use in those small businesses that are members of a strategic alliance to those that have opted to remain outside such arrangements. This chapter aims to correct the situation by presenting the findings of a study of 176 regional small businesses in Sweden that investigated the impact of strategic-alliance membership on the benefits and disadvantages associated with e-commerce adoption. The results of the study indicate that there are no significant differences between strategic-alliance members and nonmembers where benefits of e-commerce are concerned. In contrast, e-commerce disadvantages are often dissipated through a strategic-alliance structure more easily than through a single self-directed unit. The study also shows that correlations between e-commerce benefits exist and that the benefits can be grouped according to three distinct factors: costs, efficiency, and sales or inventory.

Poverty alleviation and micro-small enterprises are the essential topics in discussing the paradigm of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Micro and small businesses are considered as a panacea to alleviate poverty. So the relationship between poverty and the existence of micro and small enterprises is theoretically unidirectional. In other words, if poverty increases, micro, and small enterprises will also increase. To see the effect of poverty on micro and small businesses, this study will use the Village Potential Data (Podes) 2018 with a total of 8559 villages/wards in Central Java Province. Apart from poverty, this study will also examine the effect of technology as represented by the number of electricity customers, health from the number of supporting health centers, and finally education represented by the number of Public Elementary Schools (SDN), State Junior High Schools (SMPN) and State Senior High Schools (SMAN). By using multiple regression models, an interesting relationship is found. Those that have a unidirectional relationship to micro and small enterprises are poverty, technology, health, and primary education (SDN). The role of education in the growth of micro and small businesses strengthens Duflo's thesis (2001) on the effect of education on reducing unemployment which earned him the Nobel Prize in 2019. Meanwhile, junior and secondary education for its effect on micro and small enterprises is negative. This showed that the impact of secondary education is that it provides the possibility to work in other sectors outside of micro and small enterprises
