The paper analyzes the conceptual and practical aspects of advance tax rulings, including definitions, legal nature, types, objectives, and functions. Using comparative law, it investigates tax ruling practices in various jurisdictions, highlighting potential shortcomings and limitations. It compares rulings with the Russian practice of written tax law explanations from the Ministry of Finance and reasoned opinions from tax authorities, identifying the specifics of tax rulings as a tax and legal regulation instrument within tax administration. The research identifies the key characteristics of advance tax rulings, determines their legal nature, and analyzes the main types and functional purposes. It classifies tax rulings as private, public, and hybrid. The study reveals conceptual differences between tax rulings and reasoned opinions and written explanations of tax legislation in Russian tax law. Finally, it formulates proposals for modernizing Russian tax legislation, incorporating best international practices for advance tax ruling regulation.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Цель исследования -всесторонняя оценка роли налоговых рулингов в обеспечении правовой определенности, защите прав налогоплательщиков и снижении рисков налоговых споров с учетом баланса частных и публичных интересов. В работе проводится детальный анализ концептуальных и практических аспектов налоговых рулингов, включая определение понятия, правовую природу, виды рулингов, их цели и функции. С использованием метода сравнительного правоведения исследуются особенности налоговых рулингов в различных юрисдикциях. Особое внимание уделяется потенциальным недостаткам и ограничениям данного института. Авторы проводят сравнение института рулингов с российской практикой предоставления письменных разъяснений налогового законодательства Министерством финансов и мотивированных мнений налоговых органов, выявляя специфику налоговых рулингов как инструмента налогово-правового регулирования в системе налогового администрирования. В результате исследования выявлены ключевые характеристики института налоговых рулингов, определена его правовая природа, проанализированы основные виды рулингов и их функциональное назначение. Приведена классификация налоговых рулингов на частные, публичные и гибридные. Выявлены концептуальные отличия налоговых рулингов от мотивированных мнений и письменных разъяснений налогового законодательства в российском налоговом праве.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>advance tax rulings</kwd><kwd>public rulings</kwd><kwd>private rulings</kwd><kwd>legal certainty</kwd><kwd>tax administration</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>налоговые рулинги</kwd><kwd>публичные рулинги</kwd><kwd>частные рулинги</kwd><kwd>заблаговременные решения</kwd><kwd>налоговое администрирование</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Allingham, M.G. &amp; Sandmo, A.
