Problem setting. The definition of the tax system of Ukraine, given in para. 6.3 of Article 6 of the Tax Code of Ukraine (hereinafter - the TC of Ukraine), as a set of national and local taxes and fees, which are managed in the procedure established by this Code [9], does not cover a number of relations regulated by tax legislation. Appeal to the provisions of para. 1 part 2 of Article 92 of the Constitution of Ukraine [4] further "reinforces" our position. According to the abovementioned norm of the Basic Law of Ukraine, only the laws of Ukraine establish a system of taxation, taxes and fees. That is, at the level of the Constitution of Ukraine, the system of taxation and taxes and fees are divided. And there remains space for considerations, which is meant both by the tax system and by taxes and fees. Analysis of recent research. The tax system is a fundamental category of tax law. Various aspects of the tax system have been studied by many scientists. Here it should be noted D. Getmantsev, M. Kucheryavenko, N. Pryshva and others. Among the latest comprehensive legal studies of the tax system should be noted the dissertation of O. Barin "Legal foundations of the tax system of Ukraine: current state, basic elements, principles". The purpose of the article is to study the content and conceptual apparatus of the tax system. Article’s main body. The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the conceptual apparatus used in determining the tax system of Ukraine. The definition of the tax system as a set of national and local taxes and fees in the procedure established by the Tax Code of Ukraine leaves a number of issues of both theoretical and practical nature. Attention is focused on the fact that there is no military fee in the list of state taxes and fees fixed in Article 9 of the TC of Ukraine [9]. It is not clear for what reasons the regulation of its payment is carried out by p. 16-1 of subdivision 10 Section XX of the Tax Code of Ukraine [9]. With this approach, there is a situation when the military fee in the tax system of Ukraine seems not to have. Although the military fee is actually paid. We can’t mention that the name of this tax payment does not correspond to the provisions of clauses 6.1 and 6.2 of Article 6 of the TC of Ukraine [9], where the definition of tax and fee is provided. According to its legal mechanism, the military tax fee, because the main feature of the fee - individual repayment - is absent. That is, the military payer does not receive individual special benefits. Conclusions. The conceptual apparatus used in the Tax Code of Ukraine in determining the tax system of Ukraine has a number of contradictions. The case here is not only in legal technique. The lawmaker's approach to determining the tax system as a set of national and local taxes and fees in the procedure established by the TC of Ukraine leaves a number of issues of both theoretical and practical nature. This attitude to the fundamental principles of legal regulation of the tax sphere can have negative consequences for both taxpayers and budgets of different levels. Bringing the conceptual apparatus into logical compliance will be able to lay down the necessary guarantees of compliance with the rights of taxpayers and will be able to ensure stable receipt of taxes and fees to budgets.

Broad Approach

Problem setting. The approach proposed by the legislator to the definition of the tax system as a set of national and local taxes and fees in the procedure established by the TC of Ukraine, constitutes the tax system of Ukraine (para. 6.3 of Article 6 of the TC of Ukraine), raises the question of the place of transfer pricing in the tax system. If you approach the tax system as a set of taxes and fees, the transfer pricing is actually excluded from the tax system. Analysis of recent researches and publications. Among the scientists involved in the research of the tax system, it is possible to distinguish M. Kucheryavenko, D. Getmantsev, N. Pryshva, O. Barin and others. Some problems of legal regulation of transfer pricing were dealt with by M. Mishin, M. Bondarenko, K. Broyakov and others. The target of the research is to analyze and determine the place of transfer pricing in the tax system. Article’s main body. The article is devoted to determining the place of transfer pricing in the tax system. We propose our own view on the tax system. It is stated that a broad approach to understanding the tax system excludes contradictions laid down in para. 6.3 of Article 6 of the TC of Ukraine. Conclusions and prospects for the development. Transfer pricing involves the application of special methods for determining the compliance of the conditions of the controlled transaction with a certain criterion – the “arm’s length” principle, drawing up and submitting reports, exercising control and bringing to responsibility for violation of transfer pricing requirements. The legislative approach to the content of the tax system as an aggregate of taxes and fees actually excludes transfer pricing from the tax system. Instead, our proposed broad approach eliminates such contradiction.

The Impact

Problem setting. The social value, role and purpose of tax law are revealed in its functions as the main directions of its impact on public life. At the same time, the value potential of law is revealed by both general social and special legal functions. It is obvious that the implementation of the regulatory function of law is influenced by a number of factors, among which tax policy is important. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to characterize the impact of tax policy on the implementation of the regulatory function of tax law. Analysis of recent researches and publications. Note that the question of the functions of tax law, tax policy and their interaction is not entirely new to the science of tax law, because to some extent to their consideration resorted to O. S. Yemelyanov, А. А. Kovalenko, M. P. Kucheryavenko, Yu. L. Smirnikova, V. V. Chaika and others. However, so far it is impossible to say that they have received a proper scientific analysis, as financial scientists have not resorted to a comprehensive examination of them, and conducted a fragmentary study. Thus, the purpose of the article is to consider the impact of tax policy on the implementation of the regulatory function of tax law. Article`s main body. The article focuses on clarifying the impact of tax policy on the implementation of the regulatory function of tax law in modern conditions. The presence of a corresponding dialectical relationship between tax and legal regulation and tax policy is emphasized, which is reflected in two planes: (1) through the definition of goals, objectives, results of tax policy, the directions of regulation of tax relations, its subject matter, limits and methods are determined, by which rules of conduct are established for subjects of tax relations, that is, we are talking about the impact on lawmaking activities in the field of taxation, the implementation of the regulatory function of tax law; (2) by determining the quality and effectiveness of tax legislation, the extent to which the tax policy has been implemented is assessed. Conclusions and prospects for the development. As we have shown, tax policy has its own meaning, it is organically linked to tax law, which by implementing the regulatory function implements the vectors indicated by the policy. Given the profound transformation of public relations that has taken place in our country in recent years, tax policy should be given a special role as a strong foundation for ensuring the effectiveness of tax and legal regulation.

Problem Setting

Problem setting. With the adoption of the Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to the Tax Code of Ukraine to improve tax administration, eliminate technical and logical inconsistencies in tax legislation" of 16 January 2020, many provisions of which entered into force on January 1. 2021, the approach to defining the concept of violation of tax legislation and the characteristics of its composition was changed. In particular, guilt is established as a mandatory feature of a tax offense, liability is established not only for taxpayers, but also for regulatory authorities and their officials (officials). Analysis of recent research. Questions about the nature of the tax offense, its composition and characteristics were the subject of research by such scientists as: P. Duravkin, D. Kobylnik, A. Kotenko, M. Kucheryavenko, R. Khanova. However, given the changing legislative approach to the definition of tax offenses and the characteristics of its composition, there is a need to study them. The purpose of the article is to consider the novelties of the tax legislation of Ukraine to determine the violation of tax legislation. Article’s main body. The article considers the modern approach of the legislator to the definition of the concept of violation of tax legislation and the characteristics of its composition. Emphasis is placed on the inexpediency of fixing only an intentional form of guilt in committing violations of tax law. Conclusions. It is noted that currently the legislator provides for two different legal mechanisms for compensation for damage caused to the taxpayer by officials of the controlling body. It is emphasized that such an approach is one of the manifestations of permissive rule in tax and legal regulation. The necessity of making changes to the Tax Code of Ukraine to improve the definitions of ongoing and repeated tax offenses is argued.

Problem setting. The article analyzes the issue of legal relations in the field of land accounting. The legal nature of public relations in this area has been clarified. The accounting of the quantity and quality of land is investigated. The author’s definition of legal relations in the field of land accounting is provided. The circle of subjects of these legal relations is outlined. Analysis of recent researches and publications. To date, in the scientific literature there is no comprehensive study of the legal regulation of legal relations in the field of land accounting. There are only developments devoted to certain issues of land law science. Target of research. The study of the legal regulation of legal relations arising in the field of land accounting, the allocation of subjects of these legal relations. Article’s main body Justification of the appropriateness of obtaining, systematizing all the resources available on the land plot, determining the size, quality status and distribution of the land fund, providing the necessary data about the land, studying the legal relations arising on this occasion. The basis of the land registration and registration system in Ukraine is the State Land Cadastre. It reflects the subjective information on land, which accumulates as a result of land accounting. Such information is necessary primarily for the implementation of state control over the use, reproduction and protection of land. Only a legally regulated and wellmaintained process of conducting accounting and registration activities in the field of land relations can become the key to the introduction and functioning of a transparent mechanism for the circulation of land in market conditions and an effective mechanism for managing them. In this aspect, it is important to note that it is necessary to distinguish land accounting in the proper sense and land rights accounting (as a broader category compared to the first). In the context of the land registration reform and the further process of improving the State Land Cadastre, it is necessary to talk about the formation of land information relations. Conclusions and prospects for the development. Land accounting relationships are public relations that arise in connection with the activities of public authorities and local governments, which are endowed with appropriate powers to take measures to obtain, systematize and analyze information on the quantity, territorial location and use of land. The subjects of these legal relationships are landowners and land users, the state, state authorities and local selfgovernments, who are vested with the respective powers.

Problem setting. The importance of financial control in the formation of market relations is significantly increasing, because such control contributes to the successful implementation of the financial policy of the state, ensuring the proper formation, distribution (redistribution) and the use of funds accumulated in public funds. In addition, it should be noted that financial control is a means of regulating economic activity. In this context, legal support for financial control is of great importance. Independent financial control is a form of non-governmental financial control that can be exercised by specialized organizations – audit firms or auditors. It is significant that Ukraine recently adopted a law regulating the procedure for auditing and conducting financial audits. It is the Law of Ukraine “On Audit of Financial Reporting and Auditing” № 2258-VIII of December 21. 2017, which came into force on 1 October. 2018. Analysis of recent researches and publications. We emphasize that the study of the concept of “financial control”, the definition of its types, forms and methods, as well as the legal status of the entities that carry it out, were engaged in the following scientists: L. K. Voronova, О. P. Hetmanets, T. A. Zhadan, M. P. Kucheryavenko, P. P. Latkovsky, Yu. A. Mandrychenko, L. A. Savchenko and others. However, changes in the legal regulation of financial control, issues related to the consolidation of the legal status of entities exercising independent financial control need to be examined in detail. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to analyze the legal status of entities exercising independent financial control in Ukraine. Article’s main body. In the article the author reveals the peculiarities of the legal status of the Audit Chamber of Ukraine as a subject of independent financial control in Ukraine. Іt can be stated that the Audit Chamber of Ukraine, which is a professional organization, is a direct participant in the relations related to the organization and implementation of independent financial control, in particular, audit control. Given the compulsory nature of acquiring membership in the AСU, the statutory purpose and activities of this organization, this organization can not be considered public. Conclusions and prospects for the development. It is stated that the legal status of the specified entity is characterized by a certain multidimensionality. In particular, the Audit Chamber of Ukraine is a professional, self-regulatory organization that is authorized to perform public functions and is managed through specially created bodies. The above shows that the current legislation of Ukraine reflects a new approach to the regulation of independent financial control, in particular by defining the powers, rights and duties of the Audit Chamber of Ukraine.

Problem setting. The work is devoted to the study of the legal status of cryptocurrency as an object of taxation. The legal status of cryptocurrency in legal relations between tax authorities and individuals or legal entities is an urgent problem, since there is only a small number of works on this issue. Of particular note is the study of international experience in taxation of cryptocurrency transactions, as well as an analysis of the most relevant proposals for amending national legislation in order to establish the legal status of cryptocurrency and transactions related to cryptocurrency as an object of tax legal relations. Analysis of recent researches and publications. Despite the great relevance of this topic, in the modern science of tax law there are no fundamental scientific works and studies on the problems of taxation of cryptocurrency and cryptocurrency transactions. Target of research. The purpose of the scientific article is to conduct research on the legal nature of cryptocurrency, as well as the disclosure of theoretical, practical problems and features of legal regulation of cryptocurrency and operations related to the use of cryptocurrency in modern tax law. Article’s main body. The article deals with the legal nature of transactions connected with the use of the cryptocurrency as an object of tax relations. The issues of the possibility of attributing income, as well as profits from cryptocurrency transactions to the objects of taxation of personal income tax, profit tax, and value-added tax, are disclosed in accordance with the current tax legislation. The following conclusions have been drawn: it is impossible to impose the relevant taxes on income and profits from transactions with the cryptocurrency; there is a conflict in the current legislation, according to which the proceeds from transactions with cryptocurrency may be subject to the Law ‘On Prevention and Counteraction to Legalization (Laundering) of the Proceeds from Crime or Terrorism Financing, as Well as Financing Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction’ In addition, foreign experience of legal regulation of transactions with cryptocurrency in tax legislation in such economically developed countries as the USA, Great Britain, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, etc. has been analyzed. It has been established that nowadays, in world practice, there is no unambiguous approach to the tax regulation and taxation of cryptocurrency transactions. So, in some countries, the income from operations with cryptocurrency is taxable, while in others cryptocurrency transactions do not belong to objects of taxation. Conclusions and prospects for the development. As a result, the author presents her own proposals on amending the tax legislation aimed at determining the legal status of cryptocurrency transactions in tax law. The article is devoted to the legal nature of transactions related to the use of cryptocurrency as an object of tax relations. Foreign experience of taxation of operations with the cryptocurrency is analyzed. The author considers current proposals for amending the tax legislation of Ukraine, who’s the purpose of which is to determine the legal status and control measures for compliance with tax legislation in the implementation of cryptocurrency transactions in tax law.

The article presents the materials of theoretical studies on the transforming essence of taxes in the pre-classical, classical and modern scientific paradigm. The main object of the proposed study is the taxation system in the modern period. In this regard, a retrospective analysis of previous periods is presented in the work in a concise format. At the same time, the main attention is focused on the transformation of the objects under study since the formation of the pre-classical, classical methodology and their neoclassical, modern interpretation. Basing on the analysis and definition of functions, signs and principles of taxation, and taking into account specific tax forms of withdrawal of a part of the total income of society and its redistribution, the following conclusions are drawn in the work: 1) “taxes” is a complex and multifunctional value scientific category; 2) during the transition from one historical epoch to another, the general economic meaning of the category “taxes” remains unchanged, and specific tax forms (types of taxes, fees and the full set of tax elements approved by law), principles, functions of taxation, as well as tax signs, undergo transformation; 3) knowledge of the principles of its construction, the essence of taxes, their types and forms is not enough for the effective functioning of the tax system. Therefore, modern tax theories base their research on solving the issues of analyzing a specific current tax system, identifying its positive and negative consequences and adjusting its components, methodological tools, including a set of economic regulators. The practical significance of the results obtained lies in clarifying the economic essence of the tax and using the knowledge gained in the process of developing strategic decisions by the relevant administrative structures interested in building effective taxation systems.

The scientific article considers issues related to the definition of the concept of "digital constitutional rights of citizens" and their inclusion in the categorical and conceptual apparatus of the science of constitutional law, in the norms of the constitutions of various states. The author offers an interpretation of this concept. Under "digital constitutional rights of citizens", in this scientific article, a set of universal equal opportunities for human behavior enshrined in the norms of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, is meant, and these opportunities determine the procedure for the implementation of individual and joint activities to use digital electronic services, information, digital technologies, digital products, the procedure for guaranteeing protection their rights in the information space. The article proposes ideas, initiatives and suggestions in terms of forecasting the development of digital constitutional human rights that a person currently possesses, using the new information and communication opportunities provided by the global Internet. Conclusions. An analysis of the practice of international legal documents led the author to the conclusion that despite the fact that international organizations are making attempts to regulate relations in this area, work on substantiating digital constitutional norms in some countries is limited to the development of state programs in which normative legal acts are adopted and introduced changes in the norms of sectoral legislation, in other countries the discussion of this problem is only from the perspective of scientific constitutionalists. It is necessary to start work on a comprehensive international program of international legal regulation of relations in the field of digital rights with the involvement of the international legal community, representatives of the science of constitutional law. This will contribute to the development of a categorical and conceptual apparatus in this area of knowledge.
