Abstract: This article is devoted to the multilateral tax instrument within the BEPS plan and how the entire concept and particular provisions of it are perceived by participating jurisdictions. To achieve the aforesaid goal, the authors of the article analyze provisions of the multilateral tax instrument within the BEPS plan and official sources of foreign competent authorities explaining positions of these countries regarding the multilateral tax instrument within the BEPS plan. The results of the first part of the research demonstrate that the multilateral tax instrument within the BEPS plan is still far from achieving the goals of international 'tax cooperation' and some key countries prefer not to implement certain provisions of the multilateral tax instrument within the BEPS plan in their double tax treaties based on particularities of their own tax policies. The second part of the research is focused on analyzing the role and position of the Russian Federation regarding the multilateral tax instrument within the BEPS plan. Based on the analysis of Russia's laws, other legal sources and the experience of the foreign states analyzed in the first part of the research, the authors underline provisions of the multilateral tax instrument within the BEPS plan that Russia is not ready to implement in double tax treaties yet. In the third part of the research the authors analyze a new double tax treaty between the Russian Federation and Japan that fully comply with Action 15 of the BEPS plan and multilateral instrument within the BEPS plan, however, they underline that it also has the problems described in the second part of the research. In the third part of their research the authors focus on the features of the mutual agreement procedure within the framework of the aforesaid double tax treaty. Based on their analysis, the authors have discovered a pressing need to reform the mutual agreement procedure and offer their recommendations on how to do it.

Abstract: The object of the research is the system of taxation for individual entrepreneurs in the Russian Federation. The subject of the research is the patent system of taxation as one of the types of deemed tax regimes. The authors pay special attention to comparing this special regime with other tax regimes in Russia, namely unified tax on imputed income and common system of taxation. Unified tax on imputed income does not base on real income of the taxpayer, while common tax is calculated based on real income. As result of comparative analysis, the authors discover pros and cons of mechanisms of collecting taxes under three above-mentioned options of tax regimes. Analysis shows that there are significant tax benefits in patent tax system, including simplified tax accounting and reporting, tax benefits on social contributions, while positive economic impact from this system in form of tax revenues, taxpayers reporting, types of activities covered is not significant yet. This proves the need to modernize this system.

Abstract: The object of the research is taxation of immovable property based on cadaster value. The subject of the research is the mechanism of lowering tax burden on citizens resulting from shift to calculating tax liabilities based on cadaster value. In her article Loginova analyzes court cases about setting cadaster value of immovable property. As result of such analysis she discovers that problems with accounting and valuation of immovable property is the key factor of forming indebtedness for personal property tax. Problems of property registration and problems with regulations and legislation lead to ineffective tax administration, which occasionally lead to budget revenue loss. The author particularly focuses on problems arising in the process of distributing tax burden of personal property tax. This research is based on analysis of statistical information. The author has used following methods: observation, comparison, measuring, and modelling. Results of the research are represented in forms of description, technical writing, tables and graphs. As a result of analysis of taxable objects and tax base volume the author has found that imperfection of accounting and valuation of property negatively effects growth of tax revenue. The author has also found that current mechanism of applying personal property tax deductions leads to inequitable and unfair distribution of tax burden. Applying tax deductions leads to growth of dependence of effective tax rate from size of property rather than from cadaster value. The author makes certain suggestions on how to develop the mechanism of property taxation based on cadaster value. She has also developed and proposed the mechanism of setting tax rate of personal property tax.

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.
