World experience of family business taxation and prospects of its implementation in Ukraine

Approaches to defining the essence of family businesses in foreign countries are considered and the main requirements for their creation are determined. It is determined that family business in foreign countries is mostly carried out in farming. The world family business is characterized by two features. First of all, the preservation of a huge number of small and medium enterprises created by family members. The second feature is the presence of huge family corporations and holdings with a world name and age history, which are inherited 3-6 times. Approaches to the regulation of family businesses in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania are analyzed. Foreign experience proves that family businesses can be created both in the form of commercial enterprises and in the form of a legal entity, which allows companies to choose the rules of their own activities; an automatic registration procedure is applied, which reduces time costs; the law defines the list of persons who may belong to family members; joint and several liability of family members under the terms of the contract is applied, which strengthens the liability of all family members for the results of activities; There is a distribution of profits depending on the amount of contributions of each family member, which creates the interest of all persons in increasing the profits of the enterprise. Draft legislative acts were considered, which provided for the introduction of family businesses taxation or regulation of their economic activities. The advantages and disadvantages of such bills are substantiated. The existing system of taxation of family farms within the single tax is analyzed (group 4). Recommendations on the possible introduction of family business taxation in Ukraine as part of the simplified taxation system are substantiated. The risks of applying family business taxation for the state and family businesses are highlighted.

THE CURRENT STATE OF DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL BUSINESS TAXATION IN UKRAINE

The article is devoted to the study of the current state of small business development and the need to reform the simplified taxation system, as well as to identify areas of stimulation of small business methods of state tax policy. It is considered that the taxation of small business is carried out in two forms - general or simplified. There is also found a single tax being the best way to tax small businesses because the general system of taxation is unclear and burdensome. It is determined that the system of simplified taxation promotes the development of small business by simplifying tax accounting and offers recommendations for improving the simplified taxation system in Ukraine. The rates of the single tax by groups, as well as the dynamics of tax revenues to local budgets from both legal entities and individuals are analyzed. It is found that the development of small business is possible only by combining and coordinating different forms, methods, means of regulation and state support, and the system of taxation of small businesses should be aimed at stimulating the development of small business and further filling budgets. Deficiencies in the legal framework related to the development and state support of small business in Ukraine are identified and ways to address them are proposed. It is substantiated that the most important method of influencing the activities of small business is the fiscal mechanism, which needs to be reformed in the direction of providing favorable conditions for doing business and attracting investment by building an incentive tax system. Experience of small business taxation in developed countries and new methods of state support that can be implemented in the tax policy of our state are studied. It is proved that if you exempt companies from taxation for a period of one to three years, provided they reinvest half of the net profit has a positive effect on the development of the company and the growth of tax revenues from its activities to the budget. The introduction of this tax regime in Ukraine will promote the development of small business, expand production, increase employment, increase competition, grow small businesses into medium and large and, as a consequence, increase tax revenues.
