Abstract: The article studies the infl uence of a taxpayer’s family status on his payment of income, transport and land taxes. The author also touches upon the question about family’s legal position in taxation laws of Russia and other countries. It is found out that certain types of taxes not subject to taxation as regulated by article 217 of the Russian Federation Tax Code creates certain grounds for assuming that there are actually certain signs of the conception of cumulative taxation of family members in the Russian Federation Tax Code. However, it has been also proved that a taxpayer’s family status is not quite fully considered in granting of tax deductions from income tax. It is well shown that separate taxation of spouses’ income contradicts to the legal order of regulation of their cumulative property. Based on experience of the foreign states, the author of the article makes conceptual suggestions allowing to fully consider a taxpayer’s family status when calculating the amount of tax deduction from his income tax. The author also proves the need in legal enforcement of cumulative taxation of family members and offers her own conception of cumulative taxation of family members based on the institution of a consolidated group of taxpayers.

Abstract: Very debatable question about optimization of taxation of commercial banks is a very wide issue to its specifi c features. It covers aspects related both to general terminology and narrow elements of the system of taxation improvement of commercial banks. This is due to a number of reasons. The main reason is that there is a certain need in a legal instrument and procedure of its implementation which would solve the general conceptual problem. Therefore, the question about the mechanism of implementation of improvement measures in taxation of commercial banks is very topical and typical for the general issue of optimization of commercial banks taxation. The given study makes an attempt to summarize all today’s views and grounds for building such a mechanism. As a result, the author makes a complex procedure of optimization of taxation of commercial banks as well as formation of a unifi ed opinion on that procedure in each particular case. This position regarding the mechanism of implementation of improvement measures in taxation of commercial banks is universal and effi cient for other taxpayers as well. This allows to talk about its implementation in a wider sphere and taxation environment in general.

Abstract: Since tax relations are an essential part of the economic system of a country, all changes related to the current taxation procedures, in fact, dictate the need in changes of the national economy as well. Taking into account the parallelism of effi ciency of taxation system development and stability of budget, the question about improved taxation is growing very important. Unclear defi nitions of the terms ‘optimization’ (improvement) and ‘taxation’ due to certain gaps in theory requires further researches and structural analysis of the taxation improvement processes. This is also refl ected in formation of the balance of long-term and short-term interests where the main goal is to establish the balance between values of tax infl ows from taxpayers. In its turn, it creates the need in formation of a general procedure of tax load calculations. As a result of the study, the author creates a set of methods of calculation of burden load both in general and local taxation. For the present moment it is impossible to eliminate all gaps and minuses of the procedures and methods described in the article. However, it is due to objective reasons and it is still possible to try it in actual practice.
