An important condition for the success and effectiveness of the further development of Ukrainian society is the subordination of tax policy to the course of socio-economic transformation, taking into account their bilateral interdependence. The development of the tax system should take place in accordance with the long-term macroeconomic development goals of Ukraine. On the one hand, it is the construction of a socially oriented economy, and on the other – to stimulate the development of national production and ensure its competitiveness. Given these development goals, the main characteristics that the tax system should acquire in the reform process are social orientation and high efficiency of its regulatory potential.
