Tax payments constitute a significant part of entrepreneurial expenses, therefore one's ability to duly assess and plan tax liabilities and fully use tax preferences and priviledges is one of the most important and necessary skills. Thus, the purpose of the present research is to create the best business model that would ensure a minimum volume of company's tax burden. The subject of the research is the economic relations arising as a result of a leasing agreement as an instrument of tax planning in the process of company tax optimizatino. The methodological basis of the research involves fundamental concepts represented in Russian and foreign researches, legislative and regulatory acts of state authorities, federal laws, Presidential Decrees and RF Government Regulations, and materials of scientific and practical conferences on the matter of tax planning. In their research the authors have used abstract logical, monographic, statistical economical, economical mathematical and other methods of economic research. The scientific novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the authors prove the importance of a leasing agreement as an optimization method within tax planning of company tax.

Abstract: In their research the authors solve the problem of defining reliability as a significant indicator denoting efficient management of the taxation system development and explaining why the taxation system is a large-scale social system, and what functional reliability means in terms of managing such a large-scale system. For the first time in the academic literature the authors view functional reliability of management as a significant indicator of fiscal efficiency. As a result of the research the authors make a more precise definition of the mechanism of tax legal regulation which is understood as a system of legal and institutional means by which the effective impact is made on the relations arising during determination, establishment, introduction and collection of taxes and levies, arrangement and execution of tax control, and holding liable for committing tax crimes. For the first time in studying taxation issues the authors apply the method of the management functional reliability to analyzing large-scale organisation systems. The results of the research demonstrate that reliability as the result-to-objective relation starts to play a prevailing role in defining efficiency of the taxation system, thus, the main requirement for the efficient management of the taxation system is its reliability as a criterion that ensures the compliance of the process of the system's functioning to the legal standards. One of the key moments in studying the functional reliability of the taxation system management is the idea of the influence of such management on economic stability of the country.

Abstract: The article addresses the problem of reducing the use of mineral extraction tax rates, in particular for oil, as well as highlights the difficulty encountered when calculating the mineral extraction tax in accordance with the regulations determining the reduction factors. The necessity of differentiating the tax on extraction of mineral resources was noted, however, continued reforms of the tax law makes it difficult to make decisions on companies investing in new regions of oil production. Benefits mineral extraction tax stimulate involvement in the development of hydrocarbon reserves, the development of which is inefficient and impractical in the absence of stimuli. The research methodology is based on logical analysis of legal norms of the tax legislation on the taxation of hydrocarbons as well as other research methods such as synthesis, deduction, and graphical method. The authors have presented proposals for tax incentives stranded oil production as well as reflect the ideas to improve the taxation of hydrocarbon production through the use of tax incentives. Particular attention is paid to the economic viability of exploration work on the new mineral deposits.

Abstract: As in the majority of developed countries, the efficiency of Russia's system of taxation depends on the two constituent elements: development of the government tax policy by the means of tax legislation at the macrolevel and particular implementation of that tax policy at the microlevel when establishments are allowed to use opportunities of tax mitigation. The subject of the present research is the economic relations arising in the process of taxation of economic entities. The object of the research is the mechanism of tax mitigation as a legal method of minimizing the tax burden and increasing the net profit of enterprises. The methodological basis of the research involves the fundamental concepts and theories presented by Russian and foreign scientists, legislative and regulatory acts issued by state authorities, federal laws, Decrees of the President and Resolutions of the Russian Federation Government, materials of research and practice conferences on the issues of tax optimization. In their research Orobinskaya and Osipenko have used abstract-logical, monographical, statistical-economical and other methods of economic research.
