| dc.description.abstract | Small businesses are one of the main factors of political and social stability of society and national economy in the modern European states. However, small businesses are vulnerable to a number of factors (inflation, expensive costs of credits, instability and complexity of tax law, burdens of public administration and permitting system) and require government support. In the world practice, the state support of small businesses uses a wide range of tools, including targeted government funding, assistance in formation of seed capital, preferential loans, preferential taxation,
leasing, franchising, protectionism in investment and export policy, priority
subsidies or information. The most effective tools of the state support are
financial methods, especially fiscal methods, carried out directly through
the tax system. In the following paper, experience in application of instruments of tax incitement in the tax systems of the post-socialist countries has
been analysed while three trends of use of instruments of tax regulation
have been revealed. The first one is avoiding the use of special tax regimes
and a significant reduction of tax preferences. The second one represents
limited use of special tax regimes and introduction of the complex of incentive tax preferences aimed at reducing of the tax load at tax system, creating new work places and encouraging research, investment and innovation
activities. The third one means wide use of special tax regimes, joined with
provision for small business tax preferences. Finally, recommendations
about the adaptation of certain foreign tax technologies and tools to the
national tax legislation and practice have been proved. | uk_UA |
