It is substantiated that the decrease due to the robotization of manufacturing process of the number of working places, should aim the state for the need to revise the tax system and change the approaches to financing free access of citizens to public goods. The robotization and automation of manufacturing process must be taxed, and the appropriate funds should be directed at the social security of citizens. These funds should be directed in accordance with the newly adopted laws on professional, spiritual, cultural and physical development of the individual through the creation of a system of free access to public goods. The robotization and automation of manufacturing process should be aimed at facilitating and improving the lives and health of workers, in particular by reducing the workplaces in hazardous, harmful and difficult working conditions, which requires appropriate changes to labor legislation. Free from work time appeared due to robotization and automation of the manufacturing process should be aimed at the training of workers, and it should also get its regulatory consolidation. There are defended the following key ideas in the article: 1) taxation of roboters’ work in proportion to reduced workplaces; 2) the formation, distribution and use of tax revenues from robotization should be subordinated to social goals based on the principles of «justice» and «social function of property». The funds from the taxation of robots should be aimed at ensuring standards of decent life such as: education, health, culture, security; 3) the states should stimulate the primary robotization of manufacturing processes conducted in hazardous, unsafe and difficult working conditions. For example, the manufacturing processes carried out in contaminated with harmful substances in the sites; underground work; work at low or high temperatures; heavy work related to lifting and moving loads etc.; 4) today it is necessary to reform the system of education and training of specialists in accordance with the perspective needs of labor market, where continuity of training should become the basis for professional development of the employee.
