The subject is the manifestation of “non-normality” in compliance with tax legislation in small and medium-sized businesses and subsequent sanctions by state authorities. In a prolonged study for the period from 2016 to 2020, it was determined that in the sphere of small and medium – sized businesses, the highest values of indicators are determined for violations associated with the items of payment of taxes and insurance premiums. A significant increase in violations related to the articles of registration of small and medium-sized businesses through front persons and the use of forged documents when registering in the Unified State Register of Taxpayers were registered on the territory of the Sverdlovsk region in the period 2018-2019.
