The impact of tax policy on the implementation of the regulatory function of tax law

Abstract

Problem setting. The social value, role and purpose of tax law are revealed in its functions as the main directions of its impact on public life. At the same time, the value potential of law is revealed by both general social and special legal functions. It is obvious that the implementation of the regulatory function of law is influenced by a number of factors, among which tax policy is important. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to characterize the impact of tax policy on the implementation of the regulatory function of tax law.

Analysis of recent researches and publications. Note that the question of the functions of tax law, tax policy and their interaction is not entirely new to the science of tax law, because to some extent to their consideration resorted to O. S. Yemelyanov, А. А. Kovalenko, M. P. Kucheryavenko, Yu. L. Smirnikova, V. V. Chaika and others. However, so far it is impossible to say that they have received a proper scientific analysis, as financial scientists have not resorted to a comprehensive examination of them, and conducted a fragmentary study. Thus, the purpose of the article is to consider the impact of tax policy on the implementation of the regulatory function of tax law.

Article`s main body. The article focuses on clarifying the impact of tax policy on the implementation of the regulatory function of tax law in modern conditions. The presence of a corresponding dialectical relationship between tax and legal regulation and tax policy is emphasized, which is reflected in two planes: (1) through the definition of goals, objectives, results of tax policy, the directions of regulation of tax relations, its subject matter, limits and methods are determined, by which rules of conduct are established for subjects of tax relations, that is, we are talking about the impact on lawmaking activities in the field of taxation, the implementation of the regulatory function of tax law; (2) by determining the quality and effectiveness of tax legislation, the extent to which the tax policy has been implemented is assessed.

Conclusions and prospects for the development. As we have shown, tax policy has its own meaning, it is organically linked to tax law, which by implementing the regulatory function implements the vectors indicated by the policy. Given the profound transformation of public relations that has taken place in our country in recent years, tax policy should be given a special role as a strong foundation for ensuring the effectiveness of tax and legal regulation.
