The components of monitoring the administration of taxes, fees, payments are investigated. The analysis of tax and non-tax receipts of income (payments) to ensure the formation of state and local budgets is conducted. The data of the main indicators of control work in the oblasts of the western region of Ukraine for 2014-2018 are presented. Important are additional payments to the Consolidated Budget of Ukraine, which are the result of elimination of violations of the tax legislation of Ukraine (underpayment of taxes and other payments, penalties). The study shows the uneven income of this financial (cash) flow. The share of cash accruals in tax revenues of the Consolidated Budget of Ukraine also shows some fluctuations of the tax flows. The article proves that in the Western regions of Ukraine, the number of documentary checks in 2018 decreased by almost 50% compared to 2014, and the amount of additional accrued monetary liabilities in 2018 increased by one third (33.8%).

The essence of term «tax burden» is justified and its impact on the domestic economy is evaluated. The fact that the state tax policy in Ukraine is mainly focused on the maximum use of fiscal functions is proved. Imperfect tax legislation does not provide favorable conditions for the enterprises and creates excessive tax burden for them.
The author’s own interpretation of the tax burden is formulated. So the tax burden should be understood as the total amount of taxes, fees, charges paid by the entity to budgets and trust funds. The level of tax burden and its value for some taxes at the micro level (local companies) are generalized. An integral indicator of the tax burden of enterprises is offered. It can be considered as the object of taxation management because it reflects the share of tax in relation to the net profit of the company, as well as measures to optimize the tax burden to stimulate local entrepreneurship entities. The local (micro and macro-economic) activities for optimization are determined. The tax burden of enterprises of European countries and the main directions of tax planning on the basis of international experience are outlined.
