Abstract

The article focuses on the need to study the current state of theoretical and organizational support of fiscal policy. Factors influencing the effectiveness of fiscal policy at the state and local levels are outlined. It is established that the imperfection of fiscal policy creates barriers to the activation of investment and innovation activities in local communities and the state. The normative and legal aspects of harmonization of fiscal policy in the European Union are considered. There are two areas of unification of local taxes and fees in Ukraine: the implementation of the principles of good governance in the field of taxation, the harmonization of the structure of the tax system based on the concepts of direct and indirect taxation. In the article emphasis is placed on the priority of fiscal federalism or decentralization in Ukrainian realities. The essential determinants of the fiscal policy of the state and the region have been identified. The key objectives of regional fiscal policy should be to guarantee financial independence and ensure the ability of the administrative unit's economy to develop itself. The tax potential of local budgets in Ukraine is analyzed. As a result, a low level of budgetary and tax autonomy of territorial communities has been established. In this regard, it is important to focus efforts on combating the spread and minimizing the effects of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) for individuals of fiscal policy. The need to increase the financial capacity of the amalgamated territorial communities has been identified. Guidelines for improving the organizational and legal support of fiscal policy in terms of intensification of Ukraine's European integration aspirations are proposed. It is argued that fiscal policy in Ukraine should be a catalyst for the development of priority sectors of the economy, innovation processes, investment activities in the regions, energy saving and environmentally friendly technologies, educational and scientific processes, digitalization of management at the state and local levels in the administration of taxes, fees, payments.
