Implementation of a tax risk management system (compliance risk management) will ensure consistency and a unified approach to managing tax compliance risks for the State and business entities. The main compliance risks cover the processes from state registration of business entities to the final result - payment of taxes and fees to the budgets of all levels, which covers the process of administering taxes of business entities and is an integral part of business activities. The studied legislative principles of compliance risk based on international risk management standards provide for a comprehensive, flexible, focused and integrated tax risk management system, which at the same time is easy to adapt to the domestic economy. A new vector in the tax risk management system is the use of compliance risk indicators in the form of indicators of tax efficiency of business entities by industry and class of business, which will become the basis of a risk-oriented system in the future.

The above-mentioned indicators and principles of compliance risk are an integral part of the tax risk management system (compliance risk) and their effectiveness depends on their comprehensive application in the activities of business entities and open co-operation with the tax authorities.
