Detenization of the Ukrainian economy involves the modernization of the simplified taxation system. For the purpose of modernization by the state bodies a set of measures was developed. Certain activities, in particular, the application of registrars of settlement operations in the practice of economic activity of individuals-entrepreneurs have caused a negative response in the business environment. The authors examine the experience of simplified taxation system functioning in the world practice, in particular, the use of registrars of settlement operations by small businesses. The total fiscalization of small businesses is not a global trend and in most cases has negative consequences. Existing fines and penalties for incorrect transactions with the use of registrars of settlement operations are analyzed.

Additional work volumes appearing in the activity of individuals-entrepreneurs in case of using cash registers are analyzed.
