Based on the research results, the authors emphasize the need to differentiate between the terms 'fiscal sovereignty' and 'tax sovereignty'. Concerning differentiation between the definitions of tax sovereignty and tax jurisdiction, the authors conclude the following: the fact that a state is fiscally sovereign is already the ground for the state to perform its tax jurisdiction. Concerning limitation of tax sovereignty, the authors conclude that voluntary limitation of national law standards as a result of tax treaty is not a limitation but manifestation of sovereignty because bilateral tax treaties set forth neither tax nor punishment for violation of tax responsibilities.
