Speech Title: The Study of Determining the Tax Burden Depending on Production Capacity under Uncertainty

Abstract: The country's production potential is the possibility of paying for the needs of the population and society as a whole socio-economic activity of the economic system, production of qualitative and competitive products, ensuring the development of production and demand, improving the structure of the economy. The production capacity of society - is the capacity of production of the maximum possible benefit through the full and efficient use of available resources. It is known that economic processes are naturally characterized by imprecise and uncertain relevant information. One of the main reasons is existence of an underground economy. However, in existing works, real-world imprecision and uncertainty of economic conditions are not taken into account. This paper focuses on defining the tax burden evaluation methodology that depends on production capacity, for a proportionally growing economy under uncertainty. A fuzzy integral equation is used to identify an integral tax burden taking into account the contribution of the underground economy for a certain financial (tax) year. It is also assumed that dynamics of gross domestic products are modeled by a fuzzy linear differential equation. An optimal value of tax burden is determined as a solution to the considered fuzzy integral equation.
