USING BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY IN THE TAX SYSTEM

Аннотация

This paper explores the potential application of blockchain technology within the tax system, aimed at enhancing efficiency, bolstering security, and increasing transparency in tax collection and administration. By employing a decentralized ledger system, blockchain technology promises to streamline tax processes, minimize fraud and evasion, and automate compliance through smart contracts. This article delves into the mechanisms through which blockchain could be integrated into existing tax frameworks, evaluates the benefits and challenges of such an integration, and envisages the future of taxation in light of these technological advancements. Given the global reach of taxation policies and the universal need for more robust tax collection mechanisms, the study emphasizes the significance of international collaboration in adopting blockchain technology across different jurisdictions. The findings suggest that while the transition to a blockchain-based tax system presents notable hurdles, including technological infrastructure, legal frameworks, and privacy concerns, the long-term benefits could fundamentally transform tax administration worldwide.

ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕ ТЕХНОЛОГИИ БЛОКЧЕЙН В НАЛОГОВОЙ СИСТЕМЕ Аннотация. В данной статье исследуется потенциальное применение технологии блокчейн в налоговой системе, направленное на повышение эффективности, усиление безопасности и повышение прозрачности в сборе и администрировании налогов. Используя децентрализованную систему реестра, технология блокчейна обещает упростить налоговые процессы, свести к минимуму мошенничество и уклонение, а также автоматизировать соблюдение требований с помощью смарт-контрактов. В этой статье рассматриваются механизмы, с помощью которых блокчейн может быть интегрирован в существующие налоговые системы, оцениваются преимущества и проблемы такой интеграции, а также рассматривается будущее налогообложения в свете этих технологических достижений. Учитывая глобальный охват налоговой политики и всеобщую потребность в более надежных механизмах сбора налогов, в исследовании подчеркивается важность международного сотрудничества во внедрении технологии блокчейна в различных юрисдикциях. Результаты показывают, что, хотя переход к налоговой системе на основе блокчейна представляет собой заметные препятствия, включая технологическую инфраструктуру, правовую базу и проблемы конфиденциальности, долгосрочные выгоды могут фундаментально изменить налоговое администрирование во всем мире. 1 53 9 International scientific journal ISSN: 2181-3906 «MODERN SCIENCE АND RESEARCH» 2024 VOLUME 3 / ISSUE 5 / UIF:8.2 / MODERNSCIENCE.UZ Ключевые слова: технология блокчейн, налоговая система, эффективность, прозрачность, безопасность, децентрализация, смарт-контракты, налоговое администрирование, международное сотрудничество. Introduction. In an era characterized by rapid technological advancements, blockchain technology has emerged as a cornerstone innovation with the potential to redefine the operational paradigms of numerous sectors. Originating as the underlying technology of cryptocurrencies, its application has since expanded far beyond, suggesting innovative solutions to long-standing challenges in fields ranging from finance and supply chain management to governance and beyond. Among these, the tax system stands out as a critical area ripe for transformation, plagued by issues of inefficiency, vulnerability to fraud, and general opacity in processes that blockchain technology is uniquely positioned to address. The complexity of modern tax systems, coupled with the global nature of economic transactions, poses significant challenges to tax collection and enforcement. Tax evasion and fraud represent substantial threats to the fiscal health and governance capabilities of nations worldwide, necessitating a reevaluation of the mechanisms at the heart of tax administration. At the same time, the rise of the digital economy beckons for a modernization of the tax infrastructure to better capture and process transactions in a rapidly evolving marketplace. Blockchain technology offers a promising solution through its core characteristics: decentralization, immutability, transparency, and security. This paper proposes that leveraging blockchain could significantly enhance the efficiency of tax collection, ensure higher levels of compliance, and streamline the administrative processes involved in taxation. Moreover, the adoption of smart contracts could automate tax compliance, reducing the administrative burden on both taxpayers and authorities and mitigating the risk of human error. The integration of blockchain into the tax system is not without challenges, including issues related to scalability, privacy, and the significant overhaul of existing systems. However, the potential benefits suggest a compelling c
