The purpose of the study is a comparative analysis of tax regulation methods and an assessment of the contribution of the tourism industry to the economy of the regions of the Northwestern Federal District. The objectives of the study include: the study of types of taxation systems for organizations operating in the field of tourism; analysis of tax revenues of organizations in the field of tourism to the economy of the Novgorod region; comparison of applicable rates and benefits in the regions of the Northwestern Federal District, assessment of the actions of local legislators and recommendations for possible changes in the norms of current local legislation. The author provides detailed law enforcement practice of the Tax Service of the regions of the Northwestern Federal District.

In the study, the author makes a number of recommendations to regional institutions in whose competence these issues are: to consider amending regional legislation on the application of tax rates on the STS by taxpayers whose activities are related to the field of tourism, including for related activities; to provide in regional legislation appropriate tax benefits for newly registered taxpayers in order to legalization of business; to analyze possible changes in the tax base and the corresponding amount of shortfall in the region's income, if the above measures are taken. The conducted research focuses on and actualizes the importance of changing the methodology for assessing the tax contribution of tourism to the economy of the region.
