Abstract: The authors of the research analyze changes in tax legislation regarding small business in Russia and special taxation regimes in particular. The authors assume that efforts that are undertaken by the Government of the Russian Federation to simplify the process of administration of special regimes are necessary but insufficient. Having analyzed judicial practice and legislation that regulates implementation of special taxation regimes, the authors discover that active actions performed by the Government of the  Russian Federation to introduce additional tax incentives and preferences for small business will not be efficient unless contradictions and gaps of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation are covered. The main methodology of the research involves the systems analysis of tax legislation, letters of the Ministry of Finances of Russia and instructions of the Federal Tax Service of Russia that contain contradictory provisions regarding administration of special taxation regimes. The scientific novelty of the research is caused by the fact that based on their analysis, the authors discover contradictions and gaps in the tax law. These gaps and contradictions need to be eliminated to ensure a success of small business, on the one hand, and to fight against shadow tax avoidance schemes, on the other hand. The results of the research can be used in the legislative decision making process that regulates special taxation regimes.

Abstract: The object of the research is the tax system of the Kyrgyz Republic. The subject of the research is the taxes collectable in terms of special tax regimes and their role in boosting the economic growth of the country. Based on the analysis of special tax regimes and dynamics of small and medium business in the Kyrgyz Republic, the author of the article emphasizes the efficiency of these mechanisms affecting revenues of the state budget as well as the fact that these mechanisms comply with certain taxation principles. The author pays special attention to the encouraging role of special tax regimes in the economic development, in particular, development of the agricultural sector. Within the framework of the present research the author has used general research methods such as analysis, synthesis, description and generalization, comparison and grouping. In his research Krasnov has defined particularities of special tax regimes applied in the Kyrgyz Republic, in particular, the prevailing role of voluntary patents. He has also stated that implementation of special tax regimes has both positive and negative sides. In particular, despite the fact that administration and control over implementation of these tax regimes are rather simple, they still lead to the breach of the presumption of good faith. Moreover, the need to apply for patents causes discrimination of economic entities by depriving them of the right to choose another taxation method. The results of the research can be used as instruments for further researches as well as in the process of improving special tax regimes. Based on the analysis of statistical data, the author of the research has described the main particularities of the tax policy being implemented in the Kyrgyz Republic.

Abstract: The purpose of the research is to analyze the main aspects of taxation with reference to imposing VAT on small and medium enterprises as one of the key elements of the country's taxation system as well as to study the main peculiarities of tax benefits гыув by small and medium enteprises while paying taxes in countries across the world. The subject of the research is preferential taxation with reference to value-added tax for small and medium enterprises. The object of the research is value-added tax. The methodological basis of the research involves the comparative analysis of existing approaches to preferential taxation with reference to value-added tax for small and medium enterprises. In her research Sokolovskaya has also used the methods of synthesis and summary of results. The theoretical and methodological analysis carried out by the author has allowed to systematize existing approaches to the process of taxation of micro-, small and medium enterprises with value-added tax depending on the company's scope of activity. The analysis of relevant researches on the topic has also demonstrated that for today there is no best option to build the VAT taxation system for small and medium enterprises. However, it is quite definite that motives to use presumptive taxation for the purpose of replacing value added tax in the sphere of small and medium businesses are less grounded or reasonable compared to a better replacement of value-added tax with presumptive tax.

Abstract: The object of the research is the special tax regimes and their role in supporting small business in Russia. The subject of the research is the analysis of the gaps and contradictions in the legislation regulating applicability of special taxation regimes. The article presents the results of analyzing changes in the tax laws regarding small business in Russia and special taxation regimes in particular. The authors of the article make an assumption that the efforts made by the Government of the Russian Federation in order to simplify administration of taxation regimes are necessary but insufficient. Having analyzed the judicial practice and legal provisions regulating the application of special taxation regimes, the authors discover that active actions made by the Russian Federation Government in order to introduce additional tax recessions and preferences for small business will be not have a positive effect unless certain contradictions are eliminated in the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. The methodological basis of the research is the systems analysis of the tax legislation, letters of the Ministry of Finances of Russia and instruction of the Federal Tax Service of Russia that contain contradictions with regard to administration of special taxation regimes. The scientific novelty of the research is caused by the fact that based on the results of the analysis of tax legislation regulating special taxation regimes, the authors make a conclusion that the efforts applied by the government in the sphere of taxation is not efficient enough. To support small business, the government uses a standard set of methods such as reduction of tax rates, expansion of tax preferences, etc. Meanwhile, it is necessary, first of all, to conduct a revision of the applicable tax legislation, in particular, parts of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation regulating implementation of special tax regimes, and to eliminate uncertainties and contradictions that create actual hindrances for the development of small entrepreneurship. For the moment tax laws do not distinguish between small, medium and large business which, according to the authors of the article, is wrong. In case of small business where special taxation regimes are applied, it is necessary to apply the principles of simplicity and easy use of tax laws which implies, first of all, elimination of contradictions and uncertainties. The results of the research can be used in the legislative decision-making process regulating special taxation regimes.

Abstract: The subject of the research is the agricultural industry tax incentives under existing tax laws. According to the authors, today's fiscal instruments are insufficient to perform their functions while it is well known that the entire economy depends on the system of taxation applied to the agricultural sector. Taxation, investment, and import substitution are the areas that today are most exposed to the close attention and active intervention of the government. In turn, public policy in these areas has a direct impact on the real sector of the economy, one of the fundamental industries of which is agriculture. Important factor in the development and implementation of ideas of import substitution in tactical and strategic context is the sustainable development of the Russian economy under the impact of investment and innovative commitment to public policy. Events of recent years indicate a change in approaches to solving the problems of development of the agricultural sector. Agricultural issues are converted into national and food security of the country. The authors consider such aspects of the topic as implementation of import substitution tasks, increasing investments in agricultural holdings which is impossible without interference with taxation. Increasing the attractiveness of taxation terms for business entities is a powerful mechanism for raising investments into various projects and allows to increase the number of taxpayers and the quality of their products. Particular attention is given to the special tax regime 'unified agricultural tax' and the problems of implementing this tax regime  in the context of the need for import substitution. The authors of the article offer measures aimed at improving particular provisions of tax legislation for enterprises paying the unitifed agricultural tax including application of the investment tax credit. In addition, the authors have analyzed the other approach to calculating the tax rate for the unified agricultural tax and proved the efficiency of this approach. The main emphasis is made on the intergrated approach to using tax instruments in the agricultural sector.

Abstract: This article takes a look at issues of taxation for the simplified taxation system. The subject of the research is the possibility of choosing the payment of value-added tax by entrepreneurs applying the simplified taxation system. Under existing legislation one of the barriers to the application of this tax regime is the accounting treatment of amounts of value added tax by taxpayers and their counteragents. The right choice of VAT payment will prevent loss of counteragents, as entrepreneurs using the simplified taxation system will be able to issue invoices to their counteragents. This is extremely important at the time of economic crises. The authors explore the role and the place of the simplified system of taxation in the budget system, advantages and disadvantages of this tax regime, changes in the terms of taxation from the point of view of their evolutionary aspect and offer improvements that allow counteragents working with enterpreneurs according to the simplified taxation system to partially apply VAT to deduction of tax and have the right to choose the method of VAT payment. The authors' recommendations to amend the VAT accounting procedure for small business representatives will promote partnerships between entrepreneurs and minimize budget losses arising in the process of the refund of value added tax. These issues are particularly relevant in the context of financial and economic instability when the questions of supporting small and medium-sized businesses become especially important.
