PUBLIC-AUTHORITY SERVICES AS AN ADMINISTRATIVE-LEGAL MEANS OF ENSURING THE REALIZATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN RELATIONS BETWEEN TAXPAYERS AND SUBJECTS OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

Abstract

In the article, public-authority services were characterized as an administrative-legal means of ensuring the realization of human rights in relations between taxpayers and subjects of public administration. It was found that the study of public-power services as administrative-legal means of ensuring the realization of human rights in relations between taxpayers and subjects of public administration emphasizes the need for significant changes in administrative-legal regulation, which in modern conditions is aimed at achieving the following tasks: 1) regulation of management activities in tax authorities; 2) introduction and regulation of democratic, transparent and civilized relations between tax authorities and taxpayers, taking into account the ideology that can be traced in the provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine – «the state’s service to human interests»; 3) ensuring the fullest possible implementation of human rights and freedoms in relations between taxpayers and subjects of public administration; 4) creation of effective and efficient protection of these rights and freedoms in case of their violation by public administration bodies, in particular, tax authorities. It has been established that the study of public-power services as administrative-legal means of ensuring the realization of human rights in relations between taxpayers and subjects of public administration covers the sphere of public relations, which is bypassed for various objective and subjective reasons as representatives of administrative, and tax law. It is proposed to define public-authority services as services provided by subjects of public administration with the aim of ensuring the rights, freedoms and legally protected interests of persons in the public-law sphere. In connection with the fact that the taxpayer is a participant in legal relations for obtaining public-authority services, it is proposed to include this group of relations in the subject of administrative-legal regulation, because administrative law considers tax authorities as a type of subjects of public administration. If public-authority services are considered as the result of the activities of public administration subjects in the sphere of realization of the rights and freedoms of citizens in the public-law sphere, then they should be classified as administrative-legal means that ensure the realization of the rights of private individuals in public-law relations.
