This article considers the legal and practical aspects of the amendment to Article 209 of the Penal Code, which provides for liability for evading maintenance obligations, determined by the number of court orders, settlements and other agreements. The necessity to change the regulations was justifi ed by the low recoverability of maintenance arrears and the relatively small number of indictments made against the perpetrators of these acts. The crime of not paying child maintenance is socially burdensome and generates signifi cant expenses from the state budget. The legislator, justifying the draft law, considered that its amendment would temporarily increase the burden of law enforcement, but the author cites arguments that this increase will be permanent and will affect not only the prosecutor’s offi ce and the police, but also other institutions which will be required to report information about the offender. However, for over a year after the introduction of the amendment, the authorities conducting preparatory proceedings have been overburdened. In addition, imprecise regulations make it diffi cult to interpret them and put them into practice. The study also addresses the issues of new institutions enabling the perpetrator to avoid liability for the act committed in connection with the payment of all maintenance arrears and the current penalties, as well as the signs of both the basic and qualifi ed types of the crime.

The existence of State-Owned enterprises (SOE) as one of Indonesia’s legal entities, whereby the State owns part of all of the capital of the company has presented several legal issues. The BUMN Act that has become the basis for establishing State-Owned enterprises has become its own independent legal subject and separates itself from the wealth of the State and has adhered to the provisions of the Company Law Act so that the capital that is presented by the State to the corporation remains as the capital of the SOE and not form the State. However, existing legislations regarding State funds places the funds for SOE as being part of the State budget. This ambiguity in the status of BUMN Funds is not only found in legislations but also in two different constitutional court decisions that presents inconsistencies towards law enforcers. This clear distinction is crucial in the practice of law enforcement in Indonesia.

The article deals with an important and relevant issue – measures to combat smuggling and corruption during customs clearance of commercial goods in Ukraine. The authors analyze the scientific doctrine regarding the nature and level of influence of smuggling and corruption on the state budget and the level of economic growth in Ukraine. It has been found out that scientists who choose different definitions and forms were unanimous about the negative nature and level of harmful influence of these phenomena on the economy of Ukraine. Various methods were used in the article: dogmatic, formal legal, and system-structural. It is proposed to analyze the main measures necessary to overcome smuggling and corruption in the customs clearance of commercial goods in Ukraine. First, the implementation of the principle of transparency in the activities of customs during the customs clearance of commercial goods. Second, updating the qualification requirements for positions in this service and the procedure for competitive selection. Third, criminalizing the smuggling of commercial goods. Fourth, establishing coordination of law enforcement and regulatory agencies of Ukraine with the relevant authorities of neighboring countries. Fifth, expanding the powers of the State Customs Service of Ukraine to investigate the smuggling of commercial goods. It is concluded that it is necessary and important to develop and introduce specific, rather than declarative, measures to counteract smuggling and corruption in the customs clearance of commercial goods in Ukraine.

Latvijā pēc kriminālprocesu izbeigšanas tiesībsargājošo iestāžu deponēto līdzekļu kontos tiek ilgstoši uzglabāti naudas atlikumi, kurus tiesiskā regulējuma dēļ nav iespējams novirzīt paredzētajam mērķim, proti, atdot naudas devējam vai ieskaitīt šos naudas līdzekļus valsts budžetā. Kā viens no drošības līdzekļu veidiem kriminālprocesā tiek piemērota drošības nauda. Drošības nauda tiek izraudzīta arī likumā minētajos gadījumos, kad lemj par apcietinājuma piemērošanu. Kriminālprocesa laikā izņemto naudu un drošības naudu ieskaita tiesībsargājošo iestāžu deponēto līdzekļu kontos. Tiesībsargājošās iestādes, kurām izveidoti šādi konti, atbilstoši procesa virzītāja nolēmumiem veic kontā iemaksātās kriminālprocesā izņemtās naudas un drošības naudas atmaksu vai iemaksu valsts budžetā. Nosakot konkrētas darbības, kas jāveic ar naudu, kas atrodas deponēto līdzekļu kontos, likumdevējs nav paredzējis vienotu procesu, kā nauda atdodama. Problēmsituācija rodas arī tādēļ, ka ne vienmēr ir iespējams naudu atdot tās devējam. Rakstā tiek pētīts tiesiskais regulējums, kādas ir iestādes tiesības rīkoties ar šo naudu, un sniegti priekšlikumi normatīvā regulējuma pilnveidošanai, lai šo situāciju uzlabotu un deponēto līdzekļu kontos ilgstoši neglabātos naudas atlikumi. In Latvia, cash balances are stored for a long time in institutions deposited funds accounts, in terminated criminal proceedings, which within the legal framework cannot be directed to the intended purpose, namely, to return the money to the lender or transfer it to the state budget. As one of the types of security measures, a security deposit is applicable in criminal proceedings. The security deposit is also selected in the cases referred to in the law, when it is decided on the application of a security measure – detention. Money withdrawn in criminal proceedings and security money shall be credited to the accounts of funds deposited by law enforcement authorities. Law enforcement authorities to which such accounts have been established shall, in accordance with the decisions of the person conducting the proceedings, reimburse the withdrawn money and security deposit paid into the account or deposit it into the state budget. When determining specific actions to be performed with money held in deposited funds accounts, the legislator has not provided for a unified process by how money shall be returned, as well as a problem situation arises because it is not always practically possible to return money to the lender. The article will study the legal framework how the institution is entitled to dispose of this money, and provide proposals for improving the regulatory framework to improve the current situation, as a result, funds would not be stored in the deposited funds accounts for a long time.

The subject of the study is the mechanism for determining the fiscal fee forthe main transportation of hydrocarbon goods as a resource concept. The purposeof this article is to justify the nature and prospects of using, instead of currentrent, hydrocarbon fiscal-main income as a fiscal payment, which is brought intothe state budget by operators of the main hydrocarbon-transport system as business entities for their transportation of hydrocarbons and products of their processing through main pipelines appropriate to the economic requirements. Theresearch methodology is determined by a combination of methods: a) cognition:legal analysis (study of the regulatory framework for the use of rent); b) justification: abstract logical analysis (definition of the concepts of hydrocarbon fiscalmain income); c) generalization (substantiation of conclusions and proposals).Results of work. In the process of analyzing the regulatory legal acts that regulate the use of current annuity as payment to the budget for the main transportation of hydrocarbons, it was established that it is not a tax in the interpretationof PKU, since the essence does not meet the official definition of tax, does notmeet the accepted definition of the concept of rent. The accepted nature andmechanism of paying rent for the transportation of hydrogen resources and associated revenues of the state and users of the main hydrogen transport systemand the unpromising nature of its use as a fiscal payment are analyzed. Conclusions.It is proposed that the state pay for the territorial pumping of hydrocarbon resources according to our triple principle as hydrocarbon fiscal-main income, whichcorresponds to its essence, and accordingly change the mechanism for calculatingand depositing funds to treasury accounts. Since the funds come to the revenueside of the state budget, that is, inherently belong to state revenue. The creationof such a mechanism needs certain studies, justifications and government decisions. The same applies to land use, since the quality indicators of soils, wherethe laid pipelines are territorially different. In addition, there is a process ofchanging land for its intended purpose, for the property. The fee for movinghydrocarbon resources should be calculated depending on the type of transport,including pipelines, for a set of indicators: quantity and quality of goods, time,main tariffs and distance of its movement. The amount may be adjusted usingfactors officially established by the CMU. Since the pipelines are located in territorial lands, part of this fee should be transferred to the territorial local budgets.Theoretically, the economic use of trunk pipelines should be considered as a typeof economic environmental management. Therefore, this type of government revenue should be determined by a set of indicators, as well as taking into account the economic interests of business entities authorized by the CMU. Thus, theimplementation of our proposed fiscal payment is relevant, has scientific noveltyand promising practical significance, therefore, for state recognition it is proposedto include it in the Tax Code of Ukraine.

Fines are sanctions or punishments that are applied in the form of the obligation to pay a sum of money imposed on the denial of a number of agreements previously agreed upon. There is debate over the status of fines in Islamic law. Some argue that fines may not be used, and some argue that they may be used. In the context of fines for delays in payment of taxes, in fiqh law it can be analogous to ta'zir bi al-tamlīk (punishment for ownership). This can be justified if the tax obligations have met the requirements. Whereas according to Islamic teachings, fines can be categorized as acts in order to obey government orders as taught in the hadith, and in order to contribute to the realization of mutual benefit in the life of the state. As for the amount of the fine, the government cannot arbitrarily determine fines that are too large to burden the people. Penalties are applied as a message of reprimand and as a means to cover the lack of the state budget.
