The main purpose of the research is to assess problems and define priorities for improving the Russian Federation constituents' revenues management as the factor of growing regional tax potentials and options. To achieve the research objectives, Musaeva has carried out a successive and step-by-step analysis of scientific researches by foreign and Russian authors, periodical literature and conference materials, legislative acts of the Russian Federation and regions thereof, reference and statistical materials. In the course of her analysis Musaeva has used both general scientific and special methods and tools such as system functional approach and dialectical approaches, principles of logical anaylsis and synthesis, methods of classification, grouping and generalization, expert evaluatoin, comparative and factor analysis and economic mathematical modelling. The scientific novelty of the article is caused by the fact that the author has developed scientific, methodological and practical suggestions and recommendations aimed at improving the efficiency of the Russian Federation constituents' revenues management as the guarantees of fair transregional tax competition in the modern period. The need for balanced territorial budgets amid today's unstable geopolical situation defines the priority of increasing the share of local budget revenues in the Russian Federation constituents through raising their taxable capacities and efficient use of of them.

She determines what causes difficulties with allocation of taxes between the budget levels taking into account peculiarities of the socio-economic development of the Russian Federation. Musaeva also analyzes the methods and problems of objective assessement of regional taxable capacities and proves the need for keeping the record of tax competitive ability of regions when generating tax revenues for the purpose of conducting the equal policy of redistribution of financial sources between elements of the budget system. The author also offers her own inventory to assess taxable capacities of the Russian Federation constituents. This inventory implies the corrective factor and allows to increase efficiency and to consider peculiarities of regions with the low level of local tax revenues. The researcher has calculated the taxable capacity of the Republic of Dagestan based using the inventory and based on that defined potentials for increasing the level of collectability fo regional tax revenues. The author has also made particular recommendations on regulation of tax incentives in the Russian Federation and reinforcement of their investment focus. Musaeva offers a set of recommendations to improve the efficiency of the Personal Income Tax administration as the most significant source for tax revenues of the Dagestan Republic budget.
