Abstract

In this article the author aims to determine the optimal model of digital VAT administration as a tool to minimize the tax risks of inefficient execution of tax obligations of economic entities in developed and developing countries.Existing models of digital VAT administration as a tool to minimize tax risks from tax evasion are compared. Model 1: reverse digitalization assumes that the state creates the most favorable conditions for the modernization of the practice of accounting, calculation and payment of VAT by taxpayers. Model 2: direct digitalization, where the activities of the tax service itself are modernized on the basis of the introduction of artificial intelligence. Model 3: system digitalization, where both the practice of accounting, calculation and payment of VAT by taxpayers and the practice of tax administration of this tax are modernized.It is proved that the system accounting for the efficiency and competitiveness of the tax system, taking into account not only the shadow economy (result), but also the cost of tax administration (costs), the model associated with the modernization of the system, is impractical. In both developed and developing countries, model 2 is optimal: direct digitalization, which involves the modernization of only the activities of the tax service itself. Therefore, it is the most promising model of digital VAT administration.
