Abstract: The article is devoted to the issues of applying a simplified taxation system when providing such a socially important service as centralized drinking water supply. Special attention was paid to the issues of providing water supply services in communities of villages and small towns using such an organizational form of operation and maintenance of water supply systems as a communal enterprise.
It was determined that having progress in achieving universal and equal access to safe and affordable drinking water for all in Ukraine requires proper organization and functioning of the operation and maintenance mechanism.
The study showed that the communal enterprise is the most widespread organizational form of providing drinking water services, and in the case of organizing services in small rural communities, it remains almost the only form that enables local self-government bodies to conduct their tasks and obligations to provide the population with drinking water.
It is emphasized that despite the significant social importance of water supply service, operators of centralized drinking water supply services do not have tax benefits. In addition, the most widespread form of operation and maintenance — communal enterprise, is limited in access to the simplified taxation system.
Conducted analysis of the features of taxation of the water supply service in dependency of the choice of the system of taxation. The features of the functioning of the simplified taxation system were considered. The possibility of communal enterprises of small communities to be on a simplified taxation system was studied.
It was justified that allowing the utility companies to switch to a simplified taxation system will contribute to improving the financial support of the water supply industry, reducing the tax burden, and simplifying accounting and tax operations.
It was justified the further necessity to conduct studies on improving organizational and financial tools for ensuring better access of population to drinking water supply.
