According to the results of the analysis, it was provided an author’s interpretation of the fiscal institutional environment: “a set of official and unofficial fiscal institutions (a set of legal and moral-ethical norms, rules) that regulate and control the activity (behavior) of fiscal relations’ participant in the relevant society”. Also, it was highlighted the functions, which it performs. It was theoretically described the parameters, which characterize the fiscal institutional environment and their influence on the level of the shadow economy.
