„TAX POTENTIAL” IN THE SYSTEM OF ECONOMIC CATEGORIES

The „Tax potential” as the economic category began to be of special interest in Russia since the model of the genuine federalism was implemented. Consequently, the most administrative-territorial entities for the objective reasons have been failing to finance the minimum public goods using own financial resources. Thus, it’s necessary in more depth theoretical study of the „Tax potential” as the economic phenomenon. This is because the theory as the basic prerequisite for effective practical reforms is high-importance.

The purpose of the study is evolution of the scientific views on the „Tax potential” as the economic category. This study includes: scientific search of the denotation of the „Tax potential” and also its conditions and the intension; determination of the composition of the „Tax potential” based on its essential differences; demarcation of the „Tax potential” from the related concepts; definition of the „Tax potential” based on the research findings. System analysis method, synthesis method, abstraction method, comparison method and method of induction were used in this study.
