Abstract

The article considers the main directions of harmonization in the area of direct taxation in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Harmonization of direct taxes in the EAEU does not have such a broad legal basis as harmonization of indirect taxes. At the same time, the necessity of harmonization in the area of direct taxation is  due to  the  need to  create equal conditions for the  implementation of economic activities and to ensure the functioning of the non-discrimination regime in the member states of the EAEU. The article also examines the actions of  the  EAEU member states on  the  implementation of  the  BEPS Action Plan in the national tax legislation.
