Abstract: The subject of the research is public relations arising between the taxpayer and the tax authority. The article considers current problems concerning the interaction of tax authorities with taxpayers. As a result of the study, a number of typical problems faced by taxpayers in the process of interaction with tax authorities were identified. Also, foreign experience in organizing the interaction of taxpayers with tax authorities was analyzed, followed by generalization and conclusions regarding borrowing experience in relation to domestic practice. Based on the identified problems, a conclusion was made about the insufficient effectiveness of a number of measures taken concerning the forced collection of debts, as well as organizational aspects of interaction between taxpayers and tax authorities. As a result, a number of measures were proposed aimed at improving the system of relationships between taxpayers and tax control authorities. The methodological basis of the study is the general scientific dialectical method of cognition of social processes and socio-legal phenomena, the theory of application of law. General scientific research methods were used (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, etc.). In addition, specific scientific methods were used: logical, system-structural, complex, statistical and other methods. Analysis of international experience and specific problems of interaction between tax services and taxpayers in Russia allowed us to formulate a number of proposals. The key was the development of the tax consulting institute and its legal registration. Along with this, it was proposed to legislatively specify the competencies of tax authorities in the process of inspections. An important element is the strengthening of information and explanatory work with taxpayers, including not only a detailed interpretation of tax regulations, but also an analysis of practical situations identified during previous inspections.

Abstract: In the context of a complex geopolitical situation, an urgent issue is to ensure growth of the budget revenue to finance significant national projects, including the new national project "Family". The purpose of the study was to analyze the possibility of introducing a new tax, namely, a special tax to finance government support measures for families with children. The following tasks were defined: to analyze the current demographic situation in Russia, to conduct a historical analysis of the practice of levying a tax on childlessness and its effectiveness, to develop a new special tax in modern conditions. The study of the subject area revealed the futility of using the tax on bachelors and childless as a tool for increasing the birth rate. The work is based on the analysis of official data from Rosstat for the period from the 1950s to the present. Based on extrapolation and the averaging method, an estimate is given of the amount of revenue from the proposed tax to the budget. Based on the theoretical analysis of the economic essence of the tax, as well as the understanding of fair taxation, the possibility of introducing a new tax as a tool for additional redistribution of income between individuals with and without dependent children has been proven. The result was the development of conceptual parameters of a "special tax to finance measures of state support for families with children". The methodology for constructing a special tax is based on the fact that its size should be determined depending on the share of the subsistence minimum for a child to the average wage. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of practical implementation of the tax, taking into account the justification of all its mandatory elements.

Abstract: Transformation of national economies caused by globalization and digitalization of business processes leads to changes in the whole chain of relationships at the levels of "state-individual", "employee-employer", "tax authority-taxpayer". The following research goal is to develop a unified construct of the taxation system, taking into account modern transformation processes and system economy principles. The research applies a comprehensive approach, which includes three main analysis methods: qualitative comparative analysis, simulation modeling, and interpretative qualitative research. Qualitative comparative analysis was used to identify the elements of individual taxation. Simulation modeling was used to visualize taxation main parameters and limitations. Interpretative research was used to describe the interaction of the system elements. The scientific novelty of the research is the presented architectonics of individual taxation system, which develops the theory of system economy of Kleiner and includes 4 elements (subsystems), classified by the criterion of definiteness of time and space. First, objects – exist in the uncertainty of time and the certainty of space. Second, projects - exist in limited time and defined space. Third, environments – exist in the indefiniteness of time and the uncertainty of space. Fourth, processes - exist in limited time and uncertainty of space. The elements of the objective subsystem include taxpayers individuals and individual entrepreneurs, tax authorities, tax agents, other participants of tax legal relations, and the territory. The project subsystem includes tools and mechanisms of tax regulation, which are experimental and temporary in nature.

Abstract: Monetary inequality is a serious socio-economic problem both for Russia and for many countries. The implementation of tools for smoothing inequality today becomes a condition for ensuring Russia's national security and sustainable development around the world. The level of inequality and poverty in Russia is at a very high level. The degree of inequality has not been reduced for 30 years, that is, in fact, since the beginning of the period of market reforms and privatization, despite the measures taken by the government. And even in the current very difficult financial and economic conditions, the task of reducing inequality remains a key direction of socio-economic policy. This task has been set today at the highest state level. The above makes it urgent to develop and implement a set of measures to influence the state on inequality. The subject of the study is the socio-economic relations of the state and citizens regarding the smoothing of monetary inequality in terms of determining the configuration of factors of state influence. Within the framework of the study, the factors of the state's impact on inequality are systematized and classified. As such, the following are considered: income, property and indirect taxation of citizens, state social transfers (pensions, benefits, social programs), monetary policy, labor market regulation, macroeconomic policy to ensure growth. It is shown that the main state instrument in the field of smoothing inequality in Russia are state social transfers. The potential of personal income tax is practically not realized, despite the fact that the world experience of smoothing inequality is focused primarily on income taxation. The prospects of development in the impact of the state on inequality are determined. Advantages and disadvantages of tax instruments are noted. The directions of improving income, indirect, and property taxation of citizens to reduce inequality are proposed.

Abstract: The investment resources of the population in Russia have a high potential from the standpoint of ensuring sustainable economic growth. Stimulation of investment activity of the population occurs with the help of various instruments, among which tax incentives have a significant place. The implementation of tax instruments to stimulate investment activity of the population should be carried out taking into account both tax and monetary, as well as social effects, since the economic spiral of such incentives leads not only to an increase in the growth rates and incomes of investors, but also affects the monetary inequality of citizens. The subject of the study is the socio-economic relations between the state and taxpayers regarding tax incentives for investment activity of citizens and the effects of this incentive. В  The study assessed the tax, monetary and social effects of the current system of tax incentives for investment activity of citizens. It is proved that the investment potential of citizens in the Russian economy is realized rather poorly. Tax incentives are one of the instruments of state stimulation of investment activity of citizens. The personal income tax investment deduction in the amount of funds deposited to an individual investment account is one of such instruments. The shortcomings of the regulation of individual investment accounts in Russia are revealed both from the standpoint of the incentive mechanism itself and the impact of tax deduction on the monetary inequality of citizens. Proposals have been formed to eliminate shortcomings.

The researchers analyze the volumes of tax economy (tax benefits) on personal icnome tax granted to taxpayers who use standard tax deductions, and their share in the annual budget of physical entities. Based on teh analysis of the drawbacks of the current tax deduction mechanism, the authors give their recommendations regarding further development of standard tax deductions on personal income tax in order to raise the taxation fairness. The authors evaluate shortfalls in budget revenues as a result of the application of aforesaid measures. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the authors develop the system of standard tax deductions that would be based on the living wage minimum and thus would satisfy the principles of justice. The results of the research can be used to define priorities for the development of the tax system by the Ministry of Finances and Government of the Russian Federation. The authors conclude that the current concept of tax deductions on personal income tax does not satisfy the principles of justice and thus needs to be improved.

The author particularly focuses on problems arising in the process of distributing tax burden of personal property tax. This research is based on analysis of statistical information. The author has used following methods: observation, comparison, measuring, and modelling. Results of the research are represented in forms of description, technical writing, tables and graphs. As a result of analysis of taxable objects and tax base volume the author has found that imperfection of accounting and valuation of property negatively effects growth of tax revenue. The author has also found that current mechanism of applying personal property tax deductions leads to inequitable and unfair distribution of tax burden. Applying tax deductions leads to growth of dependence of effective tax rate from size of property rather than from cadaster value. The author makes certain suggestions on how to develop the mechanism of property taxation based on cadaster value. She has also developed and proposed the mechanism of setting tax rate of personal property tax.

Abstract: The research is devoted to regional features of collecting transport tax from physical persons. Almost every family in Russia owns a car or other vehicle, which are subject to taxation, so the question of levying the vehicle tax and identification of regional features of its collection are relevant to all Russians. The object of this research is the taxation of vehicles belonging to physical persons in the Russian Federation. The subject of the research is the tax relations arising between the state and individuals on the taxation of vehicles.In her research Borodina analyzes dynamics and structure of payments for the transportation tax levied on individuals. Special attention is paid to the following aspects: the structure of distribution of vehicles and amount of vehicle tax according to the Federal districts; the detailed analysis of the collecting transport tax from physical persons in the Central Federal district. In her research Borodina has used statistical, analytical and graphical research methods and carried out qualitative, quantitative, comparative and retrospective analysis. The researcher has also used the method of synthesis. The main results and conclusions of the research are the following. The author has discovered inhomogeneous distribution of transport tax sums collectged from individuals in federal districts and Russian Federation constituents. The transport tax burden has been shifted from light motor vehicles and motor bikes towards trucks and air vehicles owned by individuals. The author has also discovered the low profitability of implying multiplying coefficients for light motor vehicles for the budgets of the Central Federal District constituents. Based on the analysis of legislative acts of the Central Federal District constituents the author has found out that many regions do not use the opportunity to apply tax priviledges and differentiated tax rates offered by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation which significantly reduces the regulating and social functions of transport tax.

Abstract: The subject. The subject of the research is the grounds for improving individual taxation system (taxation of residential property) based on the development of models for their cadastral valuation and prediction of consequences of individual taxation decisions. The object of the research is the mutual relations and mutual influence arising in the process of individual property taxation based on state cadastral valuation. The purpose. The purpose of the research is to make recommendations on how to improve procedures of calculation and collection of individual property (residential property) tax based on state cadastral valuation. Methodology. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research is the concepts and fundamental provisiosn in the sphere of taxation theory, theory of property valuation, theory of public finances reflected in monographs, researches and practice-oriented findings of foreign and Russian authors, publications of research centers, and legal acts and laws of the Russian Federation and its constituents. The adequacy of conclusions is guaranteed by the combination of approaches and methods such as systems approach, analytical method, method of documentary sources analysis, and method of comparative analysis. Based on the crtical analysis of the Methodological Guidelines on State Cadastral Valuation (2016) the authors have discovered provisions that are not sufficiently grounded and thus do not allow to perform a correct calculation and collection of individual property tax. Based on the systems approach, the authors have made recommendations on how to improve the method of residential property valuation as well as to reform the existing system of property taxation in general. At the present Russia has made serious steps towards developing an efficient individual property (residential property) taxation system. However, the results of the author's analysis demonstrate that there is still much to be done to develop the theoretical, methodological and instrumental basis of the reform.

Abstract: The article is devoted to topical issues of implementing non-traditional activities with higher school students in the educational process. One type of such activities is binary lectures that contribute to the development of certain competences of students and their adaptation to contemporary reality. Binary lecture promotes better memorization and learning, allows students to learn more about different scientific views and promotes the development of their own position on the issues under consideration. Giving lectures in this manner contributes to the development of both cross-cultural and professional competencies. The authors share their own experience with binary lectures on 'taxation of individuals'. Using methods of describing and summarizing the basic advantages and disadvantages of this form of classroom teachin the authors have developed criteria for evaluating binary lectures from a position of listeners. The results of binary lectures have been discussed at the meeting of the Department of Taxation Policy and Customs and Tarif Regulation held by the Financial University under the President of the Russian Federation which has allowed the researchers to make certain conclusions regarding the main principles and methods of giving such lectures.

Abstract: The subject of the research is the grounds for directions of improving physical entities' taxation (in particular, individual residential property taxation) based on their cadastral valuation and prediction of decision consequences using the method of simulation modeling. The object of the research is dependent and interdependent relations that may arise in the process of residential property taxation based on their cadastral valuation. The purpose of the research is to develop recommendations on how to improve the procedure of calculating and collection individual property tax (IPT) based on their cadastral valuation and using the method of simulation modeling. When developing the simulation model, the authors have applied the system dynamics approach that allows to reflect the difficult interdependent relation between individual property taxation elements in the process of individual property taxation based on cadastral valuation. The interface of working with the aforesaid model allows a real-time evaluation of management decision consequences in the process of individual property taxation prior to the moment they are put to practice. The authors offer their own simulation model for connecting budget taxation flows and the level of the population satisfaction based on the principles of system dynamics which allows to predict consequences of decisions that are made in the sphere of individual property taxation as well as to valuate measures aimed at keeping the balance of interests between the state, municipalities and households (economic entities).

Abstract: Over the past years the main emphasis of discussions related to the income tax in the Russian Federation has been made on the possibility to transfer from the proportional to the progressive taxation scale. Issues of tax operations and tax payment procedure, as a rule, recede into the background in the discussions on the income tax. The subject of the present research is the possible mechanisms of arranging the income tax including mechanisms applicable in case of possible transfer from the proportional to the progressive taxation scale. The authors analyze the costs of paying taxes beared by a taxpayer, tax agent or tax authority. The author also touches upon the question regarding awareness of a taxpayer about the tax to be paid. The research methodology is based on the description and allocation of transaction costs (tax payment related costs) and modeling consequences in case of three alternative modifications of the tax payment system: fully assigning the obligation to calculate and pay taxes on taxpayers (physical entities) with the opportunity of the latter to authorize tax agents to perform these or those actions, or assinging the obligation to calculate taxes on a tax authority with a mandatory notice of a taxpayer regarding a tax that has been paid. The author also notes that there has been a shift from the concept of 'income tax' to the concept of 'payroll tax' for taxpayers who are wage workers and describes advantages and drawbacks of the current tax payment system and alternatives thereto. The results of the research can be used in the law-making process when preparing draft laws aimed at making amendments to Chapter 23 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

Abstract: The subject of the research is a new scheme for calculating property tax to be applied as a result of Part 32 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation entering into force. According to the authors, taking into account the fact that the law does not offer a classifier to differentiate residential properties a new tax collection scheme will have the greatest effect on taxation of old fund buildings as well as buildings located in prestigious areas. The latter is due to assessing officers using a comparative approach and a 'typical object' method that do not usually take into account consumer parameters of residency quality, i.e. comfort of a residential property. In this regard, the authors pay special attention to developing a method of referring a residential property to a particular class considering various price factors constituting its cadastral value. The object of the research is the methods and models of defining the cadastral value of residential properties. The methodology of the research involves principles of the systems approach to economic realities, qualimetry methods, methods of evaluating the quality of an urban residential environment and method of forming the integral rating of the major cities of Russia. The main conclusion of the research is that a new property tax must take into account the social component. In the future consumers will be more pragmatic about choosing a residential property and try to keep a relevant tax burden in mind. The scientific novelty of the research is that the authors develop a method for differentiation of residential properties depending in their comfort level whicdh allows to determine the amount of property tax differentiating tax rates according to the consumer quality of an object.

Abstract: The article is devoted to actual practices and issues of social and property tax deductions on personal income tax in the Russian Federation. During difficult economic conditions the system of tax deductions for individuals is a powerful stimulus and become a strong support from the state to socially vulnerable segments of the population. The analysis of current practice shows that the system of tax deductions for personal income tax needs to be developed. It is obvious that the establishment of socially oriented tax deduction for the tax on personal income leads to budget losses while such actions may be considered as budget expenditure on social policy. The author analyzes the existing tax deductions both in the Russian practice of personal income tax and abroad. This enabled to identify trends and patterns of granting tax deductions. In his article Pavlov assesses the current tax deductions system in Russia and makes proposals to improve the mechanism and procedure of their provision. To overcome the problems in the difficult economic and political situation it is necessary to strengthen the social orientation of tax deductions and to increase the revenue part of the budget at the same time.

Abstract: The object of the given research is the residential real estate. The subject of the research is the social justice of the residential real estate taxation as a low formalized, generalized and subjectively determined economic category. The author of the article formulates the main debating points such as whether the taxation of residential real estate is fair in general as a socially important object taking into account objective costs and benefits, which known method of taxation answers the principle of justice and whether it is possible to give a formal evaluation of fairness of the tax amount generated by any model of taxation. The methodology of the research is based on the analysis and systematisation of theoretical researches fo numerous authors regarding justice of the residential taxation as well as selective observation of residential real estate objects for the purpose of developing tools for the formal evaluation of the social justice of the tax amount. The scientific novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the author adjust the price differential known in the theory of residential real estate evaluation to evaluation the social justice of the tax amount generated by any (existing or theoretical) model of taxation. The author calls the inventory 'the differential of the taxation vertical uniformity'. Using this inventory, the author evaluates the social justice level of the current taxation model in the Kyrgyz Republic.

Abstract: The object of the present research is the taxation of residential properties. The subject of the research is the price zoning of the city area for evaluating the role of the location of residential properties in the taxable price thereof. The author of the article offers a multi-stage algorithm for converting data on the price of residential properties sourced by the secondary market into a value set of the relative price of the reference object as well as describes opportunities for using this value set in the implementation of the cluster analysis formal procedures and transfer from clusters to price zones. The methodology of the research is based on the cluster sampling of residential properties sold on the secondary market, pattern recognition methods and experience in price zoning. The scientific novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the author develops a new method of price zoning for housing taxation which allows to overcome the problem of heterogeneous initial data (numerous series of apartments, types of houses with household plots, etc.) that distorts clusterization results or even makes them inadequate for practical use. Using the aforesaid method, the author of the article draws out the map of price zoning of Bishkek.

Abstract: Low fiscal significance of tax on property of individuals and land tax in local budgets along with gradual transition to taxation of immovable property in the Russian Federation based on cadastral value have defined interest to depiction of the factors of growth of these taxes. The subject of the research is taxation of immovable property of individuals. The object of the research is influence of the decisions made at federal level in relation to these taxes on the sustainability of local budgets. Legislative acts of representative bodies of municipalities and laws of cities of federal importance Moscow and St. Petersburg, which set new rules of collection of tax on property of individuals, data of statistical reportings of tax authorities and results of control actions in respect of land tax served as the methodological basis of the research. The author of the research used the following research methods: observation, analysis, comparison and generalization. The scientific novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the author creates the mechanism for taxation of immovable property of individuals on the basis of cadastral value with the use of defined and not fully used factors of growth. The special contribution made by the author is the grounding and proposal of change of the current approach to the establishment of tax deductions and tax benefits/exemptions.

Abstract: The subject of the research is the scheme of charting tax on personal income and income differences among population of the country. The object of the research is the personal income tax. The authors of the article focus on such aspects as the value of personal income tax for the budget of the Russian Federation and scheme for calculating personal income tax. They also underline the fact that the existing progressive scale for different types of profits does not improve the social inequality which creates social tension among population of the country. Special attention is paid to income differences. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research consists of provisions of theoretical economics, taxation theory and methods of personal income taxation. In the process of their research the authors have used such research methods as statistical observation, analysis and synthesis, comparison and generalization. The main conclusion of the research is that for the present moment it would be a fair assumption to say that Russia is at risk regarding the level of income differences in the country and the main problem of personal income taxation is the low efficiency of regulating the income ineuquality. According to the authors, implementation of the progressive personal income tax rates would significantly lower income differences. Progressive taxation would contribute to increased support of low-income citizens by increasing the tax burden on people with high incomes, thereby to reduce inequality of income distribution in the country. The general idea proposed by the authors is that implementation of the progressive taxation scale will allow to develop a fairer personal income taxation system in Russia.

Abstract: Importance. Nowadays in terms of the tax reforms which are carried out in our country, continuous harmonization of the taxation, and diversification of the tax income of local budgets, the problem of the property taxation of natural persons gains special relevance. Objective. The purpose of the article is to study the structure of individual property tax and to evaluate whether the fundamental principles, particularly the principle of tax equity, are fully applied to the process of tax calculation. To fulfill this purpose, the following tasks have been set and solved: evolution of the property taxation in the modern taxation system is tracked; the basic design of individual property tax is presented; elements formed at the local level are considered based on the example of the city of Vladivostok, assessment of changes of the tax burden on individual property tax upon transition to calculation of tax proceeding from the cadastral project cost is given. Methods. In the course of their research the authors have used general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis as well as elements of the systems approach, case study, some results are received through the application of the method of focus groups. Results. In this article the classical principles of taxation are applied to analyzing the structure of individual property tax. Modeling of the basic structure of the tax is made and basic elements are described and divided into the two groups (federal level and local level). Comparison of tax burden during five fiscal periods in the process of transition to the new principles of tax calculation is carried out. Assessment of growth of tax burden taking into account characteristics of the standard object of real estate is given. Conclusions and Relevance. The conclusion that the effective structure of individual property tax with the basic elements of tax makes it impossible to apply the principle of tax equity. When developing the structure of tax, it is necessary to carry out an in-depth study of the question, provide for the economic justification of the effect of tax for the budget and make sure the principle of social justice is fulfilled.

Abstract: The authors of the article describe the basic trends in transformation of taxation of wealth in Russia from the point of view of neo-industrial economic paradigm and inclusive economic growth. The authors describe compliance of the principles of neoindustrialization with the provisions of the concept of inclusive growth, their complementary nature in solving the problems associated with the transition from raw materials export model of GDP growth towards a comprehensive (inclusive) sustainable economic development. It is proposed to extend the definitions of the object of taxation of property in Russia and luxury category to the category of wealth. In order to harmonize tax systems, the wealth tax is defined according to the Classification of Property Taxes fixed by the Guidelines on Government Finance Statistics of the IMF for the developed countries in 2014. The comparative analysis of the wealth tax contribution to GDP and tax revenues in the 8 OECD countries and Russia allows to prove the fact that the regulative potential of the wealth tax is not fully used in the Russian economy. By analyzing the hierarchy of taxes depending on their degree of compatibility with economic growth the authors emphasize the importance of the wealth tax not only as a device to limit wealth inequality and encourage a better use of major assets but also as a counterbalance to the possible negative consequences of tax incentives of neo-industrial development. In the short term, the authors suggest that we should return to the estate tax and gift tax, and in the long term (when building an adequate system of international administration) it will be better to use the net wealth tax.

Abstract: The object of the research is the personal income tax and opportunities for imposing this tax on Russian citizens. The subject of the research is the scope of theoretical and practical issues aimed at increasing the efficiency of personal income taxation and fulfilment of the capacity of Personal Income Tax as a fiscal and regulation tool of the Russian Federation fiscal policy. In her research Musaeva examines the problems of the capacity of Personal Income Tax as a fiscal and regulation tool of the Russian Federation fiscal policy in the modern period. Special attention is given to the need for the guarantees of social justice and economic efficiency in the process of taxation of physical entities. The researcher analyzes the experience of both industrially developed and fastest growing countries in calculation and collection of Personal Income Tax and compares their experience to taxation practices in the Russian Federation. The emphasis is made on the analysis of the factors that tighten the growth of Personal Income Tax revenues into the consolidated budget of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Dagestan. Based on the analysis of the structure of the Personal Income Tax base and the composition of actual taxpayers paying Personal Income Tax, the author of the article demonstrates that in many regions of the Russian Federation incomes that can't be attributed to wages or salaries usually avoid being taxed. The author examines opportunities for increasing revenues derived from taxes in the Russian Federation constituents (including the Republic of Dagestan) through improving the Personal Income Tax administration. To substantiate theoretical provisions and practical recommendations, the author has used the methods of abstraction, induction and deduction, economical statistical methods (observation, generalization, grouping, etc.) combined with the tools and principles of comparative and logical analysis as well as the integrated (system) approach. The scientific novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the author offers suggestions and recommendations, both theoretical and practical ones, aimed at fufilling fiscal and regulation capacity of Personal Income Tax and improving the role of Personal Income Tax as a tool for the implementation of the government social policy at the modern stage of the development of the Russian Federation. The main result of the research is the description of the problems and evaluation of the best ways to fulfil the capacity of Personal Income Tax as a fiscal and regulation instrument in the Russian Federation. In particular, the results of the research demonstrate that not all principles of economic and social efficiency are observed by the effective mechanism of calculating and collecting Personal Income Tax which hinders the development of human potential and the growth of citizen welfare. Thus, the author offers particular recommendations on how to improve the process of Personal Income Tax administration and to incurase the role of Personal Income Tax as a fiscal and regulation tool of the fiscal policy in the Russian Federation. The author also proves the need for applying progressive taxation to personal income. According to the author, this is the best way to fulfil the fiscal and social capacity of Personal Income Tax in the modern period. The author's contribution to the topic is that she emphasizes the need to differentiate between social and property-related Personal Income Tax deductions depending on the amount of Personal Income Tax and to take into account family circumstances when collecting income taxes because family circumstances are the factor that defines a taxpayer's ability to pay the tax.

Abstract: The object of the present research article is the taxation system of the Russian Federation. The subject of the research is the processes of income taxation of physical entities through the institution of tax agents. The researcher examines such aspects of the theme as the classification of the processes of personal income taxation of physical entities through the institution of tax agents depending on the type of a 'process owner' as well as describes the main directions for improving the processes of personal income taxation of physical entities such as the decomposition of the processes based on the given classification and improvement of descriptions of the processes of personal income taxation. The researcher offers his own classification of the processes of income taxation of physical entities through the institution of tax agents depending on various classification groupings. He also describes the processes and subprocesses that relate to personal income taxation. The main conclusion is that modeling of a company's activity should start with the preparation of a TOP-diagram and decomposition diagrams according to the international standard IDEFO or any other similar guidelines. Modeling of business processes of the lower level should be performed basedon the guidlines on the role modeling of activity of individual employees or a group of empoloyees.

Abstract: The optimization of tax expenditures and the balance of interests of all participants of tax relations in the presence of the economic crisis become the object of close attention of the government. A significant share of the financial outflow consists of obligatory payments to the budgetary and extrabudgetary funds payable from revenues of individuals working at an organization. Reduction of tax expenditures attributable to salary funds would increase the efficiency of the organization. Finding a reasonable compromise between the regulatory authority and the taxpayer, i.e. policyholder has become one of the main criteria of the process of tax planning. Elements of personal income tax determine the value of the tax base and payment to be paid including tax rates clearly presented in a tabular form and the current tax deduction system developed in a form of a schema. In addition, the researcher identifies the essential aspects of planning and offers legitimate methods to minimize tax expenses attributable to the income of employees at an organization. The analyzed data are of interest primarily for practitioners in the financial service of business entities with employees as well as for students of economic specialties as a supplement to courses in taxation.

Abstract: The subject of the study is social and economic relations that have to do with taxation of individuals’ incomes. The article examines the scale of taxation of individuals’ incomes currently applied in Russia. The author gives a detailed analysis of the world’s experience in this issue through the examples of Austria, Germany and Luxemburg, of several peculiarities of the historic development of this sphere and of opinions of several economists, politicians and other experts. He also gives scientific substantiation of the suggested scale of taxation of individuals’ incomes. The author attaches special attention to the role of personal income tax in forming the income basis of regional budgets in the context of remaining risks of their poor balancing. The methodological basis of the author’s study are both general scientific methods (analysis, comparison, measurement) and special ones (economic, mathematical and statistic). The main conclusions of the study are as follows. More than 1/8of employees in Russia (12.8%) receive wages or salaries lower than 9,000 rubles (which approximately equals $ 176.5) per month, and it would be socially unjust to impose any incomes on them. For this purpose, amendments should be introduced in § 1 of Article 224 of the Revenue Code of the Russian Federation, in order to free this group of population from any taxations (through introducing a zero rate of interest for them). For individuals with wages or salaries not larger than 17,000 rubles (appr.$ 333) per month, a 10% incentive rate should be introduced. The novelty of the author’s approach is the suggestion of a scale of taxation of individuals that is based not only on the fiscal function, but on principles of social justice as well. The practical significance of the results of the study is the possibility for experts of governmental institutions to use them in making concrete decisions on modernization of social and economic processes, as well as for lecturers and students of secondary and higher educational institutions to use them in their academic activities.

Abstract: The question about introduction of luxury tax has being discussed in Russia since 2004. The need for taxation of luxury items is explained by the growing social stratification in the country. The world practice of taxation shows that the most effective achievement of social justice is promoted by taxation of the income and property of citizens. Meanwhile, the current Russian Federation system of taxation of physical entities practically doesn’t include taxation of luxury items and has no essential impact on the tax burden of wealthy citizens. Authors of the present research article describe the system of taxation of the income and property of physical entities (personal income tax, transport tax and physical entity property tax) in terms of its development and for the purpose of revealing possibilities of strengthening their regulatory function. The analysis of the foreign experience in taxation of the ‘excess income’ allows to make the conclusion about possibility of applying this taxation in Russia. The analysis of statistical data emphasizes the need for a series of measures aimed at increasing the tax load of people with high income. According to the authors, introduction of a separate tax on luxury items in Russia isn’t advisable. Moreover, some measures that prove to be successful in foreign countries are, according to the authors, unacceptable in Russia, such as financial status tax and ‘lux’ goods tax. A better option would be to add particular legal rules regarding taxation of luxury items to the current tax legislation such as the establishment of the progressive scale of personal income tax rates, replacement of property tax of physical entities with real property tax and the change in principles of transport tax calculation.

Abstract: Today’s tax science in Russia uses the following tax categories for evaluating the impact o taxes and taxation on the national economy, economy of an individual economic entity and their development: taxable capacity, tax burden, tax load, capacity, press, pressure and etc. Just like the majority of tax categories, the aforesaid categories can be described and understood quite differently by researchers. The results of the authors’ analysis of the essential tax categories used by different researchers for describing and evaluating the impact of taxes and levies on the economic status of entities demonstrate that there is no particular method that could have been used to evaluate the tax burden of the household sector. This has become the purpose and the subject matter of the present research article. In their research the authors used the structural and functional approach, analysis and synthesis methods, deduction and induction methods, comparative analysis, statistical and economic analysis and other research methods. The authors offer a multi-component method for evaluating gross and net tax burdens of the household sector in terms of taxation of profits, expenses and properties of households. This method allows to evaluate the effectiveness of the mechanism of tax regulation in general (absolute and relative tax burdens) as well as its components (tax burden of the income, property and indirect taxation of Russians). The method offered allows to estimate performance indicators of the current tax regulation in the household sector.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the formation and development of the system of taxation of physical entities in Russia. The authors of the article describe the very first attempts to introduce property taxes. The first taxes and levies (payable with both money and products) were paid solely by taxpayers, i.e. physical entities. Other economic entities joined in paying taxes only later. Today tax payments collected from physical entities are the part of financial and economic relations and create somewhat like a sub-system of taxation of physical entities. The author also views particular changes in the system of taxation of physical entities that came into force on January 1, 2014 as well as changes that are expected to be made soon for the purpose of improving the procedure for the income taxation. The system of taxation of physical entities involves the following taxes: personal income tax, individual property tax, inheritance or gift tax, land tax and transport tax. The system of taxation of physical entities of the Russian Federation needs to be further improved in accordance with the principles of justice, legal certainty and economy as formulated by Adam Smith so that it would not only contribute to budget revenues but also regulate the economic activity of citizens. The results of the research of the process of formation and development of taxation prove that taxes collected from physical entities play an important role in formation of the budget revenues and regulation of the economic activity of citizens.

Abstract: The planned introduction of the immovable property tax calculated based on cadastral value should not lead to the uncontrolled considerable changes in the tax burden, while this situation is quite possible due to the considerable difference between the cadastral and inventory values. Due to the above-mentioned reasons, there is a need to analyze social and economic consequences of the introduction of the new tax model based upon the results of cadastral evaluation of the capital construction objects, which was held for the first time in the Russian Federation in 2011-2012. Such an analysis shall allow establishing the parameters for the taxation with an optimum spread of tax burden. Evaluation of tax burden for the capital construction housing objects in the Kaluga region and the Republic of Tatarstan took place within the framework of the IBRD project “Analysis of Social and Economic Consequences of Imposing Property Tax”, and it has shown the need to provide social tax deduction based upon the area of taxation object. The tax deduction is currently included into the framework of the new tax. Taking it into account and using Nizhegorodskiy region as an example, the author evaluated the tax burden on physical persons, most of whom are owners and payers of taxes for housing, then the author made a conclusion on the category of taxpayers, for whom it shall be excessive, and offered to mitigate it.

Abstract: This article concerns the problems of tax inequality in Russia both for organizations and for the physical persons. The author analyzes the characteristic features of definition of “luxury” and the order of its administration. The article proves that the novel tax shall not be applicable. Based upon her studies the author offers other means to burden “rich” persons. Introduction of a new tax may provoke the outflow of capital from Russia to the states not having similar taxes. Since the tax rate is considerable, large amount of income of rich people shall become “shadow income”. Also, it is necessary to wait till the property tax is introduced and analyze it. Introduction and practical application of property tax may lead to dismissal of the newly planned luxury tax.

Abstract: This article explores the issues of tax inequity in Russia, from the point of view of both, natural persons and legal persons. The author substantiates the unacceptability of the new luxury tax. The new tax may trigger outflows of capital from Russia, into countries that do not have such tax. In case the tax rates are too severe, the majority of income of the wealthy population will slide into the informal sector. It is necessary to wait for the real estate tax to be introduced and observe its dynamics. Introducing and utilizing the real estate tax will possibly cause for the “luxury tax” rejection. Thus, it is necessary to demonstrate patience and care as far as luxury tax is concerned, despite the continuous attention towards it.

Abstract: The article studies the infl uence of a taxpayer’s family status on his payment of income, transport and land taxes. The author also touches upon the question about family’s legal position in taxation laws of Russia and other countries. It is found out that certain types of taxes not subject to taxation as regulated by article 217 of the Russian Federation Tax Code creates certain grounds for assuming that there are actually certain signs of the conception of cumulative taxation of family members in the Russian Federation Tax Code. However, it has been also proved that a taxpayer’s family status is not quite fully considered in granting of tax deductions from income tax. It is well shown that separate taxation of spouses’ income contradicts to the legal order of regulation of their cumulative property. Based on experience of the foreign states, the author of the article makes conceptual suggestions allowing to fully consider a taxpayer’s family status when calculating the amount of tax deduction from his income tax. The author also proves the need in legal enforcement of cumulative taxation of family members and offers her own conception of cumulative taxation of family members based on the institution of a consolidated group of taxpayers.

Abstract: How to estimate a personal income tax which should be paid to a member leaving the limited liability partnership? Too many people have to face such a problem but the existing legislation doesn’t quite cover the topic.
