Purpose. To offer comprehensive evaluation indicator system of urban infrastructure development. Methods. Using the methods of scientific cognition it was found out that urban infrastructure development should be assessed in an integrated manner, i.e. with all its infrastructure systems and the system of evaluation indicators for integrated development of urban infrastructure. Results. It is found that urban infrastructure has a single organism (system) and integrated functioning and development of the system is achieved through the interaction of branches of municipal economy. Proceeding from the above, the assessment of urban infrastructure development should be comprehensive. When forming the system of evaluation indicators for integrated urban infrastructure development, proposed to use settings (quantitative indicators), which will serve for the study of urban infrastructure and indicators (quality indicators), which allow to assess the level of development of urban infrastructure. An extensive system of indicators of urban infrastructure is determined on the basis of the analysis of the state of the urban infrastructure, and serves as the basis for the formation of a narrow system of status indicators of urban infrastructure. All this would make current adjustments in the process of managerial decision-making. Scientific novelty. The system of parameters and indicators for the evaluation of integrated urban infrastructure development was proposed.

Subject. The subject of the research is the assessment of the status of federal taxes and levies in the Russian Federation, identification of the existing problems and possible solutions in the area of the discussed topic. Purpose. Tracking of features and specificity of federal taxes and levies according to their classification criteria. Method and methodology. In the study, the author applied such techniques as an exploratory method, system analysis method, comparative method, method of consolidation and other methods. By using these methods, the author assembled and processed the necessary theoretical and practical material for the study. In particular, the author analyzed the Russian experience of formation of tax revenues of the federal budget, introduced performance indicators of the studied taxes and levies, identified a share for each federal tax and levy. In addition, proposals for solution of the identified problems, aimed at enhancing their relevance were developed. Results. Federal taxes and levies are a major source of the State revenue, which is interested in the correct approach to the formation of tax policy. The author notes that if the tax or levy has federal status, then this indicates that it is governed by federal tax laws, but may be distributed among the budgets of the budget system, such as excise tax. The aim of this work is to develop proposals and measures to strengthen the tax component of the federal budget. The author proves the feasibility of improving tax legislation regarding the examined taxes. Opportunities to increase income from federal taxes and levies in the federal budget are identified. The current tax practice among federal taxes and levies for the formation of the federal budget, the largest value is assisted by two taxes: value-added tax and a tax on mineral extraction, because the 85% is approximately the sum of all tax revenues. All other federal taxes and charges are less significant. Growth tax potential at the expense of other federal taxes and levies is possible by removing the cyclical fluctuations in the economy, the presence of a high tax culture in the country, competently conducted work of tax authorities.
