Stimulation of the Socio-Economic and Innovative Development of the National and Regional Economy: Taking Into Account the Principles of Budget System and Taxation

Summary/Abstract: The state does not carry out direct financing of innovation activities of enterprises, but it is possible and appropriate to use indirect methods of financing innovations embodied in budget and tax policies, which requires clear regulation of the relevant principles. The purpose of this article is to study the current practice of taking into account the goals of socio-economic and, first of all, innovative development in the principles of the budget and tax systems of Ukraine and substantiation of approaches to its improvement.It is substantiated that goals of socio-economic and innovative development is not properly reflected in the principles of both the budget system of Ukraine and in the principles of the tax system (basic principles of tax legislation). It is determined that direct and indirect state financial support and taxes as fiscal instruments should help stimulate economic development, stimulate and intensify innovation, but the choice of forms and methods of such stimulation needs to be justified taking into account the need to achieve specific goals. An analysis of the practices of the World Tax Code and the world practice of applying measures to support small and medium enterprises in terms of Covid-19 showed that direct state financial support is preferred in comparison with tax benefits due to clearer procedures of administration and control and further stimulation of development. It is proved that the combination of direct financial support with the using of investment and innovation tax credits with the possibility of their clear tax administration and control is the optimal mechanism in modern conditions.The directions of reforming the system of local taxation in the context of stimulating socio-economic and innovative development in the region are offered. The need to expand the powers of local governments, local authorities and local communities to establish elements of local taxes and fees, develop a mechanism for investment and innovation tax credits and other types of tax benefits that would enhance innovation in the region are substantiated. Due to the author's emphasis on the importance of clear administration and control of financial and tax support, the prospects for further research are the development of economic and mathematical models for evaluating the effectiveness of such systems.
