Currently, there is an imbalance in the distribution of revenues in the form of direct and indirect taxes on digital services between developed and developing countries. This problem is due to the fact that the largest digital companies carrying out cross-border activities are subject to direct taxes not in the country where the service is provided but in the country, in which they are located, that is, in a country with a developed economy. The problem is also aggravated by regulatory arbitrage, which is expressed in different country approaches to the taxation of digital services, which ultimately affects the taxpayer’s choice of the most favorable jurisdiction when providing such services. In this research there were analyzed both the OECD international standards and regulation in Austria and the EU, where a harmonized transition from a national tax model for digital services to a model that complies with these international standards took place. Through the prism of these conclusions, the changing tax policy of Russia was examined in terms of the implementation of the OECD international standards as well as the current regulation of VAT for the provision of services in electronic form. Based on the results of the research, a conclusion was drawn about the potential risks associated with the implementation of the OECD international standards, both for Russia and for developing countries, and the prospects for other harmonized approaches to the taxation of digital services were outlined.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Цель настоящего исследования — изучение влияния международных стандартов Организации экономического сотрудничества и развития (ОЭСР) в части налогообложения цифровых услуг на национальное регулирование. В настоящее время имеет место дисбаланс в распределении между развитыми и развивающимися странами доходов в виде прямых и косвенных налогов на цифровые услуги. Данная проблема обусловлена тем, что крупнейшие цифровые компании, осуществляющие трансграничную деятельность, облагаются прямыми налогами не в стране предоставления услуги, а в государстве, в котором они расположены, т.е. с развитой экономикой. Кроме того, проблема усугубляется регуляторным арбитражем, который выражается в разных страновых подходах к налогообложению цифровых услуг, что в конечном счете влияет на выбор налогоплательщиком наиболее благоприятной юрисдикции при оказании подобных услуг. При проведении исследования были проанализированы как международные стандарты ОЭСР, так и регулирование в Австрии и ЕС, где произошел гармонизированный переход от национальной модели налогов на цифровые услуги к модели, соответствующей указанным международным стандартам. Через призму данных выводов были рассмотрены менявшаяся налоговая политика России в части имплементации международных стандартов ОЭСР и действующее регулирование НДС при оказании услуг в электронной форме. По результатам исследования был сделан вывод о потенциальных рисках, связанных с имплементацией международных стандартов ОЭСР, как для России, так и для развивающихся стран, а также обозначены перспективы иных гармонизированных подходов к налогообложению цифровых услуг.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>налог на цифровые услуги</kwd><kwd>НДС</kwd><kwd>двухкомпонентное решение ОЭСР</kwd><kwd>цифровые платформы</kwd><kwd>гармонизация</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>digital services tax</kwd><kwd>VAT</kwd><kwd>OECD Two-Pillar Solution</kwd><kwd>digital platforms</kwd><kwd>harmonization</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Abdullah, S.
