This is because the theory as the basic prerequisite for effective practical reforms is high-importance.The purpose of the study is evolution of the scientific views on the „Tax potential” as the economic category. This study includes: scientific search of the denotation of the „Tax potential” and also its conditions and the intension; determination of the composition of the „Tax potential” based on its essential differences; demarcation of the „Tax potential” from the related concepts; definition of the „Tax potential” based on the research findings. System analysis method, synthesis method, abstraction method, comparison method and method of induction were used in this study.
