Задачи – сравнительная характеристика отдельных требований американских и британских налоговых органов к предоставлению отчета, а также определение преимуществ от налоговой сверки по неопределенным налоговым позициям. Работа теоретическая, используются общенаучные методы: диалектический метод научного познания, метод сбора теоретической и нормативно-правовой информации, анализ, сравнение, синтез. Oхарактеризованы ключевые особенности предоставления отчета UTP в американской и британской практике, выделены отличительные черты между требованиями налоговых регуляторов. Установлено, что отчет UTP – средство коммуникации между бизнесом и налоговым органом по вопросам спорных областей налогового законодательства. В отчете организации раскрывают информацию о зарегистрированных налоговых резервах (непризнанных налоговых выгодах), показывающих потенциальную задолженность государству, если налоговая позиция будет оспорена в пользу бюджета. Продемонстрированы преимущества, получаемые компаниями и налоговым органом в результате налоговой сверки по неопределенным налоговым позициям. Сделан вывод: первоначально учет последних регламентировался американскими бухгалтерскими стандартами, однако налоговый орган для повышения эффективности налогового администрирования и снижения издержек налогового аудита обязал бизнес раскрывать соответствующую информацию в специализированном отчете. В свою очередь, компании в случае надлежащего раскрытия информации освобождаются от штрафных санкций. Ввиду того, что процедура составления отчета UTP новая, многие экономические, правовые и бухгалтерские аспекты неизвестны и выступают направлениями будущих исследований.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The purpose of the study is to analyse the experience of the United States of America and Great Britain in terms of regulation of requirements for the preparation of a report on uncertain tax positions (hereinafter referred to as UTP report) as a tool to improve the efficiency of tax administration. The objectives are the comparative characterisation of individual requirements imposed by the American and British tax authorities to the provision of the report as well as determination of the benefits of tax reconciliation on the UTP. The work is theoretical, general scientific methods are used: dialectical method of scientific cognition, method of collecting theoretical and regulatory information, analysis, comparison, synthesis. We have characterised the key features of the UTP report in the American and British, distinguished features between the requirements of tax regulators. It is established that the UTP report is a means of communication between business and tax authority on issues of controversial areas of tax legislation. In the UTP report organisations disclose information about registered tax reserves (unrecognised tax benefits), which show potential indebtedness to the state if a tax position is challenged in favour of the budget. We demonstrate the benefits accrued to companies and tax authority as a result of the tax reconciliation of the UTP. In conclusion, initially, they were regulated by American accounting standards, but the tax authority, to improve the efficiency of the tax administration and reduce the costs of tax audit, obliged businesses to disclose the relevant information in a specialised report. In turn, companies in case of proper disclosure of the information may be exempted from penalties. Due to the fact that the UTP report procedure is recent, many economic, legal, and accounting aspects remain unstudied and are areas for future research.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Неопределенные налоговые позиции</kwd><kwd>непризнанные налоговые выгоды</kwd><kwd>неопределенная налоговая трактовка</kwd><kwd>налоговое администрирование</kwd><kwd>налоги на прибыль</kwd><kwd>налоговая позиция</kwd><kwd>налоговая сверка</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Uncertain tax positions</kwd><kwd>unrecognised tax benefits</kwd><kwd>uncertain tax treatment</kwd><kwd>tax administration</kwd><kwd>income taxes</kwd><kwd>tax position</kwd><kwd>tax reconciliation</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Аксентьев А.А.
