Abstract: Tax crime is one of the main threats to economic security in Russia.

Therefore at the present stage of the development of the Russian state, efficient prevention of tax crime is becominng especially important. For this purpose, an important prerequisite for efficient tax pevention is the determination and elimination of the main social and political determinants of tax crime. This is the topic the present research article is devoted to.

Abstract: The article is devoted to studying 'public finances' as the particular element of the financial sphere that is directly related to the financial support of a state institution and municipal units and involves the deveopment of financial and other jural relations. Based on the example of public finances and associated social relations, it is possible to illustrate the issues regarding the content and admissible limits of administrative regulation of the financial sphere and the balance between financial and other forms of legal regulation in this sphere. By classifying and analyzing the legislation and scientific doctrines of financial law and administrative law, the author of the present article defines the nature, content and limits of the financial and administrative regulation of social relations in the sphere of finances including the financial support of a state institution. The author also proves the regulatory nature of some categories of financial law (financial activity of a state institution, budgetary mechanism of the government, budgetary process and financial control) and that it is admissible and useful to interpret financial jural relations as managerial and therefore legally binding and contractual. Taking into account modern tendencies in financial and administrative regulation, the author analyzes essential differences between financial and administrative relations as well as examples of the latter in the financial sphere and offers criteria for differentiating these legal relations.
