Digital Technologies in Tax Disputes as a Mechanism for Balancing Public and Private Interests

The article is devoted to the issues of digitalization in the field of tax dispute resolution. The impact of digitalization on achieving a balance of public and private interests in tax law is assessed. The author comes to the conclusion that one of the effective mechanisms for reducing the fiscal bias in the activities of tax authorities may be an increase in the use of digital technologies in tax administration. Minimizing the human factor can increase the objectivity of law enforcement and reduce the number of tax disputes. With regard to the use of digital technologies in resolving disputes in courts we should expect in the future the appearance of a digital algorithm based on the use of artificial intelligence which will give recommendations to the judge on resolving the case based on machine-readable law technology and taking into account the circumstances of the case the norms of current legislation and the analysis of judicial practice. At the same time such digital algorithms will not be able to replace a judge in the administration of justice in the resolution of tax disputes but will only be an auxiliary tool.
