Monetary inequality is a serious socio-economic problem both for Russia and for many countries. The implementation of tools for smoothing inequality today becomes a condition for ensuring Russia's national security and sustainable development around the world. The level of inequality and poverty in Russia is at a very high level. The degree of inequality has not been reduced for 30 years, that is, in fact, since the beginning of the period of market reforms and privatization, despite the measures taken by the government. And even in the current very difficult financial and economic conditions, the task of reducing inequality remains a key direction of socio-economic policy. This task has been set today at the highest state level. The above makes it urgent to develop and implement a set of measures to influence the state on inequality. The subject of the study is the socio-economic relations of the state and citizens regarding the smoothing of monetary inequality in terms of determining the configuration of factors of state influence. Within the framework of the study, the factors of the state's impact on inequality are systematized and classified. As such, the following are considered: income, property and indirect taxation of citizens, state social transfers (pensions, benefits, social programs), monetary policy, labor market regulation, macroeconomic policy to ensure growth. It is shown that the main state instrument in the field of smoothing inequality in Russia are state social transfers. The potential of personal income tax is practically not realized, despite the fact that the world experience of smoothing inequality is focused primarily on income taxation. The prospects of development in the impact of the state on inequality are determined. Advantages and disadvantages of tax instruments are noted. The directions of improving income, indirect, and property taxation of citizens to reduce inequality are proposed.
Начало 2022 года стало для машиностроительной отрасли определенным испытанием ввиду обострения геополитической ситуации. Экономическая изоляция, как следствие санкционных процессов, имеет для машиностроительного комплекса России разнонаправленные последствия. С одной стороны, открываются перспективы на внутреннем рынке, в том числе с точки зрения развития импортозамещения. С другой стороны, сегодня нарушены мирохозяйственные связи и значительно сокращены внешние рынки сбыта, что не может не сказаться отрицательно на объемах производства и инвестиционном потенциале организаций как минимум в краткосрочной перспективе. Целью статьи является проведение оценки инвестиционной активности предприятий машиностроения России для определения направлений и возможностей выхода из складывающейся кризисной ситуации. Для достижения поставленной цели был проведен анализ уровня промышленного производства и доли инвестиций в основной капитал по подотраслям машиностроения. Результаты проведенного исследования позволили сделать вывод о существенном падении объемов инвестиций после февральских событий, чему среди прочего способствовала возросшая инфляция. В сложившихся условиях интенсификация инвестиционной деятельности является важной составляющей в решении существующих структурных проблем и устойчивого развития экономики. Научная новизна заключается в оценке вектора инвестиционной активности предприятий машиностроения России, а также в обосновании факторов, способствующих выходу из кризисной ситуации 2022 года. The beginning of 2022 has become a certain test for the engineering industry due to the aggravation of the geopolitical situation. Economic isolation as a result of sanctions processes has multidirectional consequences for the Russian machine-building complex. On the one hand, prospects are opening up in the domestic market, including in terms of the development of import substitution. On the other hand, today global economic relations are disrupted and external sales markets are significantly reduced, which cannot but have a negative impact on production volumes and the investment potential of organizations, at least in the short term. The purpose of the study is to assess the investment activity of Russian engineering enterprises in order to determine the directions and possibilities for overcoming the emerging crisis situation. To achieve this goal, an analysis was made of the level of industrial production and the share of investments in fixed capital by sub-sectors of engineering.. The results of the study made it possible to draw a conclusion about a significant drop in investment volumes after the February events, which, among other things, was facilitated by increased inflation. Under the current conditions, the intensification of investment activity is an important component in solving existing structural problems and sustainable development of the economy. The scientific novelty lies in the identification and evaluation of the vector of investment activity of Russian engineering enterprises, as well as the identification of factors contributing to the exit from the crisis situation in 2022.
The investment resources of the population in Russia have a high potential from the standpoint of ensuring sustainable economic growth. Stimulation of investment activity of the population occurs with the help of various instruments, among which tax incentives have a significant place. The implementation of tax instruments to stimulate investment activity of the population should be carried out taking into account both tax and monetary, as well as social effects, since the economic spiral of such incentives leads not only to an increase in the growth rates and incomes of investors, but also affects the monetary inequality of citizens. The subject of the study is the socio-economic relations between the state and taxpayers regarding tax incentives for investment activity of citizens and the effects of this incentive. В The study assessed the tax, monetary and social effects of the current system of tax incentives for investment activity of citizens. It is proved that the investment potential of citizens in the Russian economy is realized rather poorly. Tax incentives are one of the instruments of state stimulation of investment activity of citizens. The personal income tax investment deduction in the amount of funds deposited to an individual investment account is one of such instruments. The shortcomings of the regulation of individual investment accounts in Russia are revealed both from the standpoint of the incentive mechanism itself and the impact of tax deduction on the monetary inequality of citizens. Proposals have been formed to eliminate shortcomings.
The subject of the study is the manifestations and perception of economic inequality of citizens in Russia. Economic inequality is one of the global problems of our time. In Russia, it has been at a consistently high level for 30 years. The task of smoothing the inequality of citizens in Russia has been set at the highest state level. Research interest in this regard is the manifestations and subjective assessment or perception by citizens of the degree of inequality, regardless of its calculated statistical indicators, as well as the ability of the state to smooth inequality and overcome poverty. The purpose of the study is to identify and evaluate the manifestations of economic inequality of citizens in Russia, as well as its perception based on the results of a sociological survey to determine the prospects for smoothing inequality. The scientific novelty consists in identifying the manifestations and assessing the perception of economic inequality by Russian citizens based on the interpretation of the results of a sociological survey, as well as in substantiating the aggravating effect of personal income tax deductions on inequality. With the acute perception of inequality and injustice in the distribution of income in Russia, there is no intensification of protest sentiments and the risks of threats to socio-economic stability are not realized. Manifestations of inequality of citizens are the need to save on food and consumer preferences, tourist activity, the availability of credit obligations, the use of medical and educational services, the demand for personal income tax deductions. The current bias in favor of investment and property deductions for personal income tax to the detriment of social and standard deductions does not allow realizing the potential of their smoothing effect on the inequality of citizens. Property and investment deductions used by more affluent citizens lower the average effective personal income tax rate for them at a level lower than that of poor citizens, which leads to regressive income taxation.
The subject of this research is the tax risks for the state, namely systematization of theoretical approaches towards their essence and consideration of practical examples of their implementation. Within the framework of theoretical cognition, the author systematized the approaches towards determination of tax risks for the state and their causes. The empirical research is carried out via analyzing the Russian tax policy with regards to identification of the key tax risks for the state. The scientific novelty lies in determination of tax risks for the state in the context of the modern concept of risk theory, systematization of approaches towards studying tax risks for the state, and substantiation of their classification. The analysis of the Russian tax policy reveals that the key tax risks for the state imply shortage in tax revenue into the budgetary system, ambiguity of the text of tax legislation, ineffectiveness of tax incentives, and decrease in competitiveness of the federal/regional tax system. Therefore, tax policy of the Russian Federation should be oriented towards minimization of these tax risks.
