The current global financial market is witnessing the activation of cryptocurrency as a payment instrument and a means of accumulation. However, the risks of money laundering, terrorism financing and tax evasion that cryptocurrency transactions imply lead to the need to implement their state regulation, an important component of which is tax control.Therefore, the purpose of the article is to substantiate the value orientations when forming the system of cryptocurrency transactions tax control in Ukraine taking the positive experience of developed countries into account. The scientific results of the study consist in the emphasizing structural, functional, systemic and institutional approaches to understanding tax control, which became the basis for identifying the features of cryptocurrency transactions as a tax control object.It was revealed that the lack of personalization of the agreement parties, the relatively high level of information security, free international turnover and a decentralized payment system are the factors of the cryptocurrency market further development. On the other hand, this leads to the loss of tax revenues for Ukrainian budgetary system, taking into account the forecasted trends in the development of the cryptocurrency market by 2022 through methods of sums, least squares and expert estimates. Given the institutional approach to the understanding of tax control, an institutional structure of the cryptocurrency transactions tax control in Ukraine is proposed.It is established that domestic state institutions are able to carry out tax control over these transactions. It is also determined that introducing fiscal control will result in the receipt of additional revenues by budgets, reduction of shadow economy, counteraction to cybercrime and terrorism financing.The practical importance of the results is in the need to form an effective system of cryptocurrency transactions tax control as a function of public administration.It has been determined that transactions on cryptocurrency supply, on the determining exchange rates and transactions on cryptocurrency disposal should be an object of tax control in Ukraine. Mining transactions, receipt of income (profits) in the cryptocurrency are subject to general taxes, depending on the taxpayer’s legal status, in particular, personal income tax, corporate income tax and a unified social tax (UST). Taking into account the EU recommendations on the non-application of value added tax in the cryptocurrency transactions taxation, it is not appropriate to implement it in this area. Establishing tax control over cryptocurrency transactions will expand the powers of state authorities that are empowered to control observing financial discipline by economic agents in Ukraine and the financial capabilities of state and local budgets.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Tax Ordinance, if an anti-avoidance clause may apply in a tax control or a customs and fiscal control, the Head of the National Fiscal Administration (NFA), at the request of the control body, takes over such control in whole or in part and initiates tax proceedings within its scope. The control will be continued if no decision using the GAAR is issued in the tax proceeding carried out by the Head of the NFA. Detailed regulations define the procedure and effects of the Head of the NFA taking over control, but do not remove doubts related to the condition that it should take place as a result of an application to the Head of the NFA and the possibility of taking over the case only in part, and the effects of such partial takeover.

The article is to substantiate the essence, divergences and determinants of the evolution of taxation audit, tax control and tax due diligence of large enterprises, and to develop proposals for their improvement. There was distinguished the essence of the concepts of \"taxation audit\" as a service provided by an audit firm, and the concept of \"tax audit\" as a form of tax control by the State Tax Service of Ukraine (STSU). A definition of a tax audit of a large taxpayer is proposed. It was determined that tax due diligence includes a study of the taxation system of an enterprise, assessment of significant tax risks, and optimisation of tax burden, and is carried out before mergers or acquisitions of companies’ capitals. It was defined that for the purposes of taxation audit, tax control and due diligence, the concepts of \"large taxpayer\" and \"large enterprise\" should be identified since the criteria for their recognition in economic and tax legislation are identical. An analysis of the statistical data showed an upward trend in detected cases of tax abuse in 2019-2023. The main share of violations is related to corporate income tax (42.5%), value-added tax (29.0%), and rent payment (13.5%), which increased during the martial law. The evolution of the dynamics of the volume of voluntary auditing services and taxation audits in 2019-2023 showed a negative trend towards its reduction, while the number of tax violations detected by government agencies increased. Taxation audit and tax due diligence are carried out voluntarily as a service provided by an audit firm, which combines both elements of an assurance engagement and elements of a consulting service. A conceptual model of taxation audit, tax control and due diligence of large enterprises was proposed, which will contribute to the growth of the services` quality and their synergy.

The aim of this article is to investigate the possibilities for tax offices in the Czech Republic to control recurrent property tax returns and the data contained therein. The hypothesis that the recurrent property tax control in the Czech Republic is unproblematic and that there is no need for any amendments in related tax law regulation has been mostly confirmed. However, there are still several minor issues (e.g. the renewal of cadastral records) where amendments to the existing legal regulation would be helpful There are also other much more problematic issues in the property tax regulation to be improved. The role of the immovable property tax in the Czech Republic is mostly marginal; the revenue is very low. The paper follows the IMRaD structure; in the research part, we firstly summarise recurrent property tax regulation de lege lata from the theoretical perspective. Secondly, we describe existing practical problems of recurrent property tax control as these problematic issues have been identified from structured interviews with tax office clerks. In the discussion, we critically analyse substantive and procedural tax law concerning the recurrent property tax with regard to controls carried out by the tax office, combining the theoretical background with practical experience. Synthesising the knowledge gained, we identify the strengths and weaknesses of de lege lata regulation and suggest amendments de lege ferenda.

The article is aimed at studying the key aspects and features of accounting and control of small business enterprises in Ukraine under martial law. It is defined that with the beginning of russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine, public authorities approved a number of legislative and regulatory acts directed towards optimizing certain business processes of Ukrainian enterprises, in particular small businesses. Legislative innovations also relate to the procedure for accounting and control at the enterprise, to which accountants of enterprises must adapt in modern realities. According to the results of the study, it is found that in the conditions of war in Ukraine, accounting at small enterprises has undergone significant transformations, in particular, there is a need to account for transactions on the free transfer of property for the needs of the army, depreciation on such property, accounting for humanitarian and charitable aid, etc. The requirements and restrictions for conducting inventory and tax control at small enterprises are also changing. In accordance with the amendments to the tax legislation made during martial law, the possibility of conducting documentary unscheduled, desk and actual audits has been restored, and from the beginning of December 2023, a moratorium on documentary and factual audits has been temporarily introduced in Ukraine, provided that there are grounds for it. Further research on this topic should be aimed at determining the best options for automating accounting processes, ways to simplify and adapt the implementation of control measures for the activities of small enterprises in Ukraine in the post-war period.

Tax evasion operates beyond the boundaries of the jurisdictions, it develops across borders, and the extent of tax fraud as a phenomenon is differentiated according to the aspects and the rigours of legislation, as well as according to the economic environment of each country in part. Regardless of the level of development of the country in which it manifests, the effects of the fiscal fraud are destructive, affecting both the state budget, as well as the financial resources of the offenders’ commercial partners. The fiscal fraud has negative effects over the economic market, and one of the consequences is the social inequality from the perspective of the abuse and the predisposition of certain taxable subjects to fraud. Certainly, the phenomenon remains unraveled, the financial schemes being extremely complex, and the fraud mechanisms are some of the most laborious ones and in a permanent improvement, while the evaders keep finding new means by way of which they illegally attract financial resources. The fight against tax evaders is a difficult one, mainly because of the sometimes “deliberate” legislative “loopholes”, but also because of their ingenuity, which is often “one step” ahead of those who fight against tax evasion.

This paper examines whether a perceived increase in tax audit aggressiveness is associated with lower tax planning effort and a higher quality of internal tax control frameworks. Using survey data on corporate tax functions from approximately 200 firms from different countries, contrary to expectations, we find that neither internal nor external resources devoted to tax planning are lower for firms that perceive an increase in tax audit aggressiveness. Nevertheless, for these firms, we find a positive association with the quality of their tax control framework and their investments in the reputation management and communication skills of their tax department staff. In line with this, we find that an increase in perceived audit aggressiveness is directly (indirectly) associated with an increase in resources allocated to the tax function \"controversy and audit defense\" (\"risk management and governance\"). In addition, our results show a positive relationship between the quality of the tax control framework and the need for comprehensive improvements in human capital and internal processes, suggesting that the tax control framework affects the firms' perceptions of their tax capabilities and drives organizational changes. Overall, these findings are in line with the rationale that an increase in audit aggressiveness changes the costs of compliance errors such that firms improve the quality of their tax control framework to reduce future errors. In contrast, it remains unclear whether tax audit aggressiveness actually changes tax planning behavior, as we find no negative association with the firms' investment in tax planning.

Our study aims to evaluate the current Romanian context for tax control by correlating the legal framework with the administrative model, as derived through empirical analysis. Our hypotheses, confirmed by the observed macro-dynamics of tax control in a period of four years, are as follows: (1) the current legal framework for tax control is heterogeneous, incomplete, and influenced by administrative practices; (2) debt collection is an inconsistent outcome of various forms of tax control, contributing marginally to budget dynamics; and (3) the identification of tax-related illegal activities heavily depends on tax control, while the application of administrative and criminal sanctions varies significantly. The study highlights the need to (re)design the normative framework to enhance coherence and effectiveness; hence, we advanced a model of normative reform based on the three abovementioned conclusion.

Purpose In 2021, nonfungible token (NFT) has emerged and grown as a new digital asset and became a carrier for cryptocurrency holders in China. NFT opens the door of the digital world for creators’ rights and the realization of economic interests. However, potential problems such as money laundering, terrorist financing and tax avoidance risks have increased in China due to the lack of regulations. As tax control is an important tool used by the government to adjust the economy and market, this study aims to investigate the future market capitalization of NFT and provide value orientations to control the NFT market in China with a tax control approach based on the positive experience of other countries. Design/methodology/approach In this study, least squares and expert estimation are applied to predict the future market capitalization based on the global market, which can provide an understanding of the current NFT market and the significance of its tax control. In addition, the tax control and interpretation of Chinese taxation institutions and structures are also explored. Findings Results include the probable tax structure or policy that national institutions can carry out over different transactions. Conclusions show that introducing tax control to regulate and monitor the rise of state revenue and decline of illegal financing activities. Establishing tax control in the Chinese NFT market can provide a centralized guarantee to ensure the safety and legality of transactions and enable further progress. Originality/value This study puts forward new ideas on the future development of nonprofitable tokens based on blockchain technology from the perspective of taxation in China.

The article aims at forming a roadmap for self-reliant control of the absence of tax debt for small and medium-sized businesses in Ukraine. The necessity of conducting tax audits for small and medium-sized businesses in terms of preventing tax evasion has been studied. The article systematizes the types of tax audits provided by the Tax Code of Ukraine (hereinafter referred to as TCU) amid the COVID pandemic. The peculiarities of these audits and their key features are detailed. The necessity to conduct self-reliant control of the absence of tax debt among small and medium-sized enterprises (hereinafter referred to as SMEs) is substantiated based on the analysis of the ratio dynamics of tax debt to tax revenues to the Consolidated Budget of Ukraine. The Roadmap for independent tax control as for the absence of tax debt due from SMEs is suggested. Its structure includes three stages with step-by-step detailing of the taxpayer’s actions at each step. The practical aspect of the roadmap is based on preventive control of taxpayers’ honesty and financial literacy. The implementation of the Roadmap is carried out on the example of SMEs on the simplified system of taxation, and SMEs as single tax payers, using the taxpayer account, which is the key software in the lockdown, as the basis for calculations. The principles of work in the specified electronic resource are visualized. The article considers the tax authorities’ possible areas of work to prevent violations of tax legislation by SMEs. Such areas of work are grouped into 3 fields: taxpayers training, simplification of the taxpayer account, transparency of the uses of taxes paid by a definite SME.
