Changes in the formation of local budget revenues are analyzed. An estimation of the level of budget decentralization is conducted. Practical recommendations for solution of problem issues are offered. Conclusions – Budget decentralization should contribute to increasing the financial capacity of local budgets, local self-government's interest in expanding the tax base, and raising local responsibility for regional development, which requires changes to the budget legislation on the distribution of national taxes between the linkages of the budget system.
