Description
Summary:The article is aimed at developing proposals to find ways to improve the material and financial bases of the United territorial communities. The process of decentralization of power, which is going on currently, means transferring the authorities of the State to the local level. Today we can acknowledge both the successful steps of this reform and the fact that old problems are persistent in the United territorial communities. To the problems of such kind belong the virtual lack of agricultural land in communities and the payment of salaries informally, which significantly reduces the taxation base, necessary for development of the community’s financial resources. The first of the above issues needs to be addressed through institutional and legal measures, and the second – through a system of incentives for the creation of official jobs. The community leaders may not only assist into creating new jobs in the agricultural sector, but also take an active part in the creation of agrarian cooperatives, making use of communal resources. These measures will provide an opportunity to increase financial resources and encourage the communities’ autonomy.
