An effective process of tax management of processing organizations is the optimization of the tax system, which provides an increase in the mass of tax benefits of taxpayers. For food processing organizations, optimization procedures are of particular importance due to the high and ever-increasing tax burden on economic activity. It has been established that over the past eleven years, the tax burden of processing organizations increased 2.1 times, outpacing its growth rates in organizations of other types of activity by 2.3 times. These relationships are additional arguments in favor of the need to develop optimization procedures, taking into account the specific features of organizations of food production. Carrying out optimization procedures by system and deductive methods provides for the development of a program of relevant measures. As objects of program activities, it is advisable to choose those for which the current tax legislation provides for the greatest number of benefits, and which will bring tangible economic benefits to organizations. The main objects are taxes: income, property, VAT, personal income tax, since each category of these has optimization opportunities for calculating the tax base and reducing the mass of tax payments to the budgets of the respective levels. A brief, meaningful title has been formulated for each program event, the essence of which directly affects the magnitude of such elements of the taxation system as the taxable base, tax payment terms, organizational and methodological parameters for tax calculation, accounting registers of accounting tax policy and others. Detailed explanations are given on individual optimization measures with an indication of regulatory legal acts that allow using a particular benefit or opportunity in taxation practice, and also lists the basic conditions for the application of the recommendations made. Particular attention is paid to the rules of registration of primary documents, as basic accounting units that change during the implementation of specific recommendations. The introduction of the recommended program of optimization procedures into the practice of tax management has a real prospect due to the low-cost financial resources for their implementation, but it will significantly increase the level of tax solvency of the processing organizations.
