Abstract: The article discusses the prerequisites for the creation of a new concept of VAT calculation based on the transfer of the function of calculating VAT to tax authorities through invoices, with the simultaneous cancellation of tax reporting on this tax. This concept implies that sellers issue invoices in electronic form through an electronic document management operator, who will transfer them to the tax authorities for their calculation of tax and billing to the taxpayer for payment. This approach will eliminate the need for businesses to comply with frequently changing tax laws and reduce the risks of tax evasion. The topic of the article is relevant because the current concept of the procedure for calculating and declaring taxes was introduced in the last century and is aimed at self-calculation of taxes by the taxpayer with subsequent preparation and filing of tax returns. However, modern conditions raise the issue of effective tax calculation in a new way and allows shifting these functions to fiscal authorities. The purpose of the study is to determine the readiness of the current situation for the introduction of a new concept of VAT calculation, the subject is the current VAT calculation mechanism. This work has practical significance, which consists in the potential introduction of a new concept of tax calculation. Before considering the issue outlined in this article, it is necessary to understand the conceptual apparatus, however, the study of tax terms does not relate to the topic of this work, which is why it will not be given. Therefore, for the purposes of this article, the calculation and procedure for calculating taxes means a set of actions of a taxpayer (or a tax authority in the case of transfer of such a function to it) to determine the amount of tax due to the budget.

Abstract: This work focuses on the study of the concept of data comparability. Despite the importance of ensuring comparability of data in theory, in practice, analysts often forget about the need to verify whether information collected from different sources, for different subjects of economic activity, is suitable for comparative research. Based on this: the object of the study is to directly ensure the comparability of data, and the subject of the study is the application of this theory in practice, with an emphasis on the field of taxation. Moving from general, abstract economic examples in theory related to financial data and reporting, the author gradually moves on to the study of comparability in transfer pricing, in industry analysis using such industry averages as profitability and tax burden. The article uses a number of scientific research methods: formal logical, induction and deduction, as well as dialectical research method. Studying Russian and foreign sources, the author identifies three levels in theory: accounting, correctional and expert; which is also a scientific novelty. With their help, the difficulties associated with comparing enterprises with different characteristics are considered, the scope of comparability is explored, taking into account factors such as differences in jurisdictions, economic conditions and the changing regulatory landscape. Shedding light on these issues, this article gradually delves into the application of the concept in practice in the analysis of tax-related data, pointing out both the positive and negative sides of using industry-wide relative indicators when comparing organizations. At the end of the study, it is concluded that there is a need to apply a more targeted approach when comparing the results of economic activity of organizations.

Abstract: Subject – customs status of goods. The aim is to study the tax and customs status of fish import and of fish products made in the exclusive economic zone of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the EEZ of the Russian Federation) and the World Ocean. The authors of the study analyze the law enforcement practice, formed over the past few years, what allow them to draw attention to the methodological underdevelopment of a set of issues related to the determination of customs legal relations of fish and fish products imported (manufactured) by Russian fishing vessels (or production of fish products) (hereinafter - Goods) outside the state territory of Russia. Scientific contribution: Development of practical cases to determine the tax and customs consequences of importing fish (catches), produced (caught) in the EEZ of the Russian Federation. Results and conclusions: The results of the study show that the current regulation (norms of the Customs Code of the EAEU) does not allow to make an unambiguous conclusion as to whether such goods should be considered in customs legal relations as "goods of the Union" or as "foreign goods". In connection with the above, it seems relevant to solve the problem related to the development of methodological approaches to determining the status of imported Goods.
