Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the impact of the country tax competitiveness on the welfare of the population. It is stressed that the tax competitiveness of the state is an integral part of its sustainable economic development and is a guarantee of growth of the branches of trade potential. But, considering its importance at the level of the state only, not taking into account international relations, it should be noted that it also affects the level of general well-being of the population. The authors investigate and analyze the level of taxation of individuals’ incomes and the ratio of minimum wages to the subsistence minimum. It was established that the tax burden on official salaries from 2013 onwards gradually increases and from 2017, regardless of the amount of accrued wages, it makes up 19.5% for all citizens. It can be concluded that in recent years in Ukraine, the tax burden on labor income of all stratum has a tendency to increase. At the same time, the tax burden on low incomes in Ukraine is actually higher in Ukraine than in many EU countries. The authors outline measures that need to be implemented in order to maximally approximate the domestic tax system to European and international standards.
