Abstract

The subject of the research is an analysis of the decentralization impact on Ukraine local budgets formation. The purpose of this study is to find a solution to the problematic aspects of the formation of self-sufficient, financially wealthy communities by analyzing the impact of decentralization on the formation of local budgets and the budgets of the combined territorial communities. Method or methodology for conducting research. The study used a set of general scientific methods and techniques, namely: comparative analysis and synthesis, abstraction, the method of induction and deduction, idealization, generalization, analogy, modeling, as well as special - expert survey, grouping, forecasting. Results of work. Decentralization today is the most effective and efficient way to ensure the financial autonomy and sustainability of local authorities by transferring to them the powerful sources of budget revenues previously assigned to the central government, and expanding the financial base of administrative-territorial formations. That is, the introduction of a new model of financial support for local budgets consists in expanding the rights of local authorities, the sources of their formation, giving them full budgetary independence and creating real ground for the exercise of their powers. And in connection with the amendments to the Budget Code on the introduction of medium-term planning, the issue of reporting and evaluating the effectiveness of budget programs is relevant for financial services workers. The field of application of results: territorial communities of Ukraine. Conclusions according to the article. One of the important problems in the formation of local budgets is to ensure balanced socio-economic development of the regions and the formation of inter-budgetary relations in order to increase the level of financial self-sufficiency by strengthening budgetary decentralization. In order for the community to be able to carry out its tasks, it must have adequate financial resources to cover its own expenses. It is likely that the formation of financially self-sufficient administrative-territorial units requires changes not only in tax and budgetary legislation, but also in the territorial size of communities, districts and regions.
