https://doi.org/10.32609/0042-8736-2018-12-46-65

Abstract

The article discusses the current state and development prospects of transferdependent regions of Russia (recipient regions). Transfer-dependent regions are defined as regions with the share of intergovernmental transfers in their total revenues exceeding 25%. The paper presents a new classification of recipient regions, where regions are divided according to the degree of their transfer dependence, as well as the growth rate of tax revenues. Based on the analysis of intergovernmental transfers, the dynamics of tax revenues and regional government debt, as well as the structure of the regional economy, the paper proposes various scenarios for changing the tax system and discusses the potential results of their implementation for the budgets of the recipient regions.
