The System of Direct Taxation in Ukraine

Abstract

For the development of any country, everything in the country's economy needs to work at the highest level. This article is devoted to the system of direct taxation in Ukraine. It is determined that the main document regulating taxation is the Tax Code of Ukraine. The Tax Code clearly states that the tax is a mandatory, unconditional payment to the budget received from taxpayers. The direct taxation system in Ukraine could be better, but a number of problems prevent it from functioning fully. Direct tax is important for the activities of producers of various goods. The system of direct taxation in the world occupies a significant niche, in turn, as in Ukraine. Therefore, for development, it is necessary to start relying on the experience of the countries of the World. From this we get that it is important to reform the taxation system in Ukraine, starting with direct taxation. The direct tax system has many benefits that do not allow obtaining financial resources in full. Analyzing the data on the consolidated budget in Ukraine, it can be noted that it is formed from 80% of tax revenues. This is not enough by European standards. This suggests that in Ukraine the suboptimal structure of the revenue side of the state budget. Examining the factors influencing the system of direct taxation of individuals and legal entities, it was found that the most important qualitative factor from the standpoint of fiscal orientation is the level of tax evasion. The problem of taxation at all times, and especially in our time and for our country is extremely relevant, because it is taxes that are the source of income to the state, without which no country can exist. Direct taxes and are the basis for taxation. Direct and indirect taxes are also important for tax culture. Tax culture is important for effective tax collection. This can be explained by the receipt of income and income taxes, which depend on the correctness of the declaration of these incomes. In European countries, declaration is a prerequisite for every citizen, and public morality is focused on condemning those who hide something. In turn, this culture in society in Ukraine does not yet have a proper level. Therefore, the country should pay more attention to the control of the direct taxation system and create conditions for the payers of these taxes.
