The purpose of the work is to systematize theoretical and methodological approaches to the formation of a tax expenditure management system by following the fundamental principles of its formation, identifying and overcoming methodological problems of applying the concept of tax expenditures, in respect of which their assessment and determination of their list for the next financial year and planning period and possible directions of its formation are required. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the substantiation of methodological approaches to the formation of a tax expense management system and the definition of its specific features. Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that the tax expense management system determines the need to improve the methods of accounting, systematization, evaluation, monitoring and control.
