Abstract: Because the social structure of today’s human society, the nature of the institutional relations, actions of people related to using natural resources and their attitude to the environment do not comply with the laws of natural evolution, regulating human business and production activities is now becoming especially important so that we can prevent random and unreasonable use of natural resources. This problem can be solved in 2 ways: legal and economic. One of the leading combined economic and legal method of regulation is charging for adverse impact on the environment (pollution charges). This work uses systematic approach to analyze the currently effective legal regulation of pollution charges and identifies the problematic aspects. The article identifies the administration drawbacks of pollution charges and suggests ways to improve them in the current situation. It makes conclusions concerning the quality of the environmental policy maintained in Russia and administration of the pollution charges. It also suggests changes to the existing laws and regulation. Currently, we can observe annual increase of amounts spent on prevention of all the pollution types. However, despite such annual costs aimed at prevention of environmental damage, the scope of atmospheric, water and soil pollution has not reduced to any significant extent.

Abstract: One of the important problems of today’s condition of the Russian administrative and taxation laws is the significant difference of procedural rules according to which administrative and jurisdictional proceedings are conducted with respect to taxes and charges. This article, using the example of the administrative and jurisdictional activities of the regional departments of the Russian Federal Tax Service related to holding major taxpayers liable, offers suggestions aimed at improving the efficiency of tax authorities’ activities. The subject matters of this article is the comprehensive analysis of laws and regulations governing the taxation of major taxpayers and the procedural mechanism of imposing legal sanctions for tax-related offences. The principal research method is the systematic analysis based on the consideration of the procedural rules of the administrative and tax law in connection with the rules of substantive law containing legal sanctions for the offences related to taxes and charges. The government, while acknowledging the employer’s and the employee’s right to define the terms and conditions of their relationship, includes in the rules of existing laws (the Russian Code of Administrative Offences) a separate type of administrative responsibility of the officer (employee) for the offence committed. Taking into consideration the obvious inefficiency of the procedure of holding officers of entities administratively liable, authors propose to make changes to the rules and regulations governing the legal relationship connected with holding persons legally responsible as required by the Russian Code of Administrative Offences and the Tax Code.
