Tax policy is an integral part of the socio-economic policy of the state, which is focused on strengthening the economic situation of the country and regions, economic development, harmonization of the interests of the economy and society. The article summarizes the approaches to the definition of the essence of tax policy, its role in the state regulation of the economy, as well as the goals, objectives and methods of tax policy at the current stage

This article discusses the main possible directions for coordinating the tax policy of member countries of economic and monetary unions. The regulatory role of tax instruments in regional integration associations is assessed. The relevance of the article is due to the fact that with the accelera tion of integration processes in various regions of the world, fiscal policy becomes particularly important. Therefore, the research of representatives of various scientific schools pays much attention to the analysis of the impact of the fiscal component on the economies of the member countries of the associations. At the same time, approaches to the organization of taxation within economic unions differ significantly. The activation of integration processes in the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) necessitates the convergence of the legislation of the member States in the field of taxation. At the same time, the harmonization and unification of legislation on indirect taxes is particularly relevant, since these taxes have a significant impact on price formatio n and provide a significant part of budget revenues. According to the authors of the article, in the conditions of deepening integration in the EEU, a well-thought-out distribution of powers in the field of tax regulation between state and supranational bodies that ensure a consistent convergence of the tax systems of the participating countries, taking into account the economic situation and the interests of all members of the Association, becomes particularly relevant. Measures to ensure the elimination of double taxation within the Union are proposed. The authors conclude that it is necessary to harmonize the tax policies of the member States of the Eurasian Union. At the same time, the harmonization of taxation in the countries of the Union should become a condition for the formation of a currency zone on the territory of the EAEU.

The tax system, as an integral area of the economic direction of state policy, urgently requires such construction and development that will be directly related to those main vectors of the state policy of socio-economic development, which will help ensure a sufficient amount of tax revenues to the budgets of different levels. In many countries around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant deterioration in the state of public finances. Containment measures, increased government spending, and reduced tax revenues have led to an increase in the budget deficit and public debt, which as a percentage of GDP has reached its highest level in several decades. Restoring public finances is a priority for all countries for many years to come. At present, in the Republic of Kazakhstan, it became necessary to develop a single document, the basis of which should be a system of indicators that determine the trends in the development of the macroeconomic situation in the region, as well as the influence of sectoral and regional factors of the current structure of financial flows on the state of the tax base and the prospects for its development. Purpose of the article is a substantiation of the role of the tax passport in assessing the tax potential of the region in modern conditions. The tax passport of the region should be considered as a document that allows assessing the existing tax base of the region, the level of the tax burden in the context of certain types of taxes in dynamics, by industry, as well as developing a forecast for the receipt of taxes and fees for the future, both under the current legislation and taking into account its possible change. When writing the article, the dialectical method of cognition, the methods of scientific generalization and classification, the method of systemic and comparative analysis were used. The introduction of tax passports will mean the beginning of a qualitatively new system of tax collection, corresponding to market conditions and the scale of the revival of the economy, that will contribute to a change in the tasks of the tax service (there is a need to predict the volume of tax revenues in the medium term, develop new concepts in the field of taxation that contribute to the development of business without prejudice social programs, substantiation of tax programs to ensure protectionist policy in the field of foreign economic activity).

The sphere of taxation, ensuring the implementation by the state of the first stage of public financial activity is the mobilization of public funds, is the subject of close attention of scientists and increased public interest. The processes of tax reform taking place in the Republic of Kazakhstan show the dynamics of tax and legal regulation, implement a number of international standards in the field of tax relations, which cause an urgent need for theoretical understanding and thorough generalization, analysis and evaluation of new or significantly changed institutions of tax law. Tax administration has a procedural nature, which reflects the dynamics and statics of tax legal relations. From the standpoint of statics, tax administration is a set of all tax procedures provided for by tax legislation aimed at ensuring the receipt of tax payments to the relevant budgets. The purpose of the study is to determine the legal regulation of the procedures for fulfilling the obligation to pay taxes and fees by individuals and legal entities in the Republic of Kazakhstan by clarifying their legal nature, and bringing to administrative responsibility for non-fulfillment of this obligation. The methodological basis of the research is based on modern methods of cognition: dialectical, formal-logical, historical, comparative-legal, analytical-synthetic, system-structural, logical-legal. The article describes the legal regulation of the fulfillment of the obligation to pay taxes and fees in the Republic of Kazakhstan from the standpoint of statics (as a set of all tax procedures provided for by tax legislation, aimed at ensuring the receipt of tax payments to the relevant budgets) and dynamics (as the activities of relevant entities for the implementation of tax procedures). A distinction has been made between tax administration in a broad and narrow sense as: tax administration, which includes the whole set of procedures, including bringing to administrative responsibility for non–payment of taxes, as well as procedures for resolving tax conflicts in the mode of administrative coordination and in court; administration of tax payment - procedures for the payment of taxes and fees, the result of the implementation of which is aimed at all tax activities of the state, which ensures the actual receipt of funds to the budgets. The article also discusses a number of features of bringing legal entities to administrative responsibility for non-payment of taxes, within the framework of administrative proceedings.
