Taxation risks and the system of their management

The paper is devoted to the study of the current state of taxation system in the period of its reform and to further designs in the field of fundamental bases of taxation. The purpose of writing this article is an in–depth study of the nature, the essence of risks in the sphere of taxation, consideration of the content of the system of the risk management and substantiation of conceptual bases of the efficiency of the taxation risk management by introducing a systematic approach under conditions of a large share of the shadow economy. The study was conducted with the use of the methods of deduction and induction, system approach, analysis and synthesis on the basis of the legislative framework of Ukraine, data by the state fiscal service of Ukraine, data by the state statistics service of Ukraine, papers by domestic and foreign economists, materials of the authors’ research. The nature and position of taxation risks in the system of their management were studied. It is proven that the taxation, as well as economic, risks are usually too overestimated, because as far as the cost is concerned, the measures to improve the performance results of human capital are very vague and formed under imperfect information conditions. The need for a systematic approach to managing taxation risks was identified. The main elements of the management system of taxation risks were considered. The influence of human capital and information on the efficiency of taxation risks management was proven. Special attention is paid to the feasibility study of taxation risks in the system of their management and to minimization of countermeasures. It is proven that such a system can be described as a set of certain methods, procedures and measures that makes it possible to forecast the deficit of tax payments and to take measures in regard to minimizing abuses in the taxation field. The main elements of the taxation risks management system were considered. This system is a set of interconnected and interrelated elements such as: 1) the essence and the original sources of risk; 2) analysis, evaluation and description of the risk; 3) methods of minimizing risks; 4) monitoring of measures of prevention and counteraction of risk. It is proven that the method of systematization of the taxpayers is applied according to the standards for determining the taxation risks in the system of their management. This approach will allow implementing into practice a new strategy of organization of the control and revision work with significant reduction in the cost of implementation of planned inspections. It is stressed that the taxation risks should be considered as a scientific basis for the design of the criterion of the efficiency of creating systems of national taxation security. Like any risk, taxation risks must not be identified only, but kept to a minimum. To do this, it is advisable to apply a taxation risks management system as a set of certain methods, procedures and activities. The use of human capital and information software will provide for reaching the necessary level of efficiency. The application of a systematic approach in the theory and practice of taxation will help to anticipate the negative consequences of the impact of the external environment; will contribute to the efficient monitoring of the risks and their practical management. The fiscal service may increase the amount of tax revenue to the budget by reducing tax abuses (tax evasion). This, in turn, will promote the exit of the economy out of the shadow. Scientific novelty of the research is in the deepening and determining the nature and the essence of taxation risks, as well as the substantiation of conceptual bases of the efficiency of their management through the implementation of a systematic approach. Adopting a systemic approach will allow fiscal services to efficiently manage taxation risks. A promising area of research is to review regulating documentation of the state fiscal service on the basis of a systematic approach and consideration of taxation risk as a measurement of results of human capital performance and imperfect information provision
