Literature review Optimizing the tax burden on economic entities, a review of the subject of http://www/ 349 AMERICAN Journal of Public Diplomacy and International Studies www. grnjournal.us extensive research and analysis in the scientific literature and professional practice, serves to synthesize the main findings and perspectives from various sources for a comprehensive understanding of the topic. Strategic tax planning plays a decisive role in optimizing the tax burden for economic entities. According to research (Dyreng et al., 2008; Hanlon & Heitzman, 2010), businesses strategically manage their tax affairs to minimize liabilities while complying with legal requirements. This includes proactive tax planning initiatives such as timing income and deductions, taking advantage of tax credits and exemptions, and streamlining operations to increase tax efficiency. Effective tax planning not only reduces the direct tax burden but also increases financial predictability and operational flexibility (Desai and Dharmapala, 2006). Studies have shown that effective tax optimization has a positive effect on the financial performance of enterprises. By reducing tax costs, firms can allocate more resources to core business activities, innovation, and development initiatives (Graham, 1996; Hanlon & Slemrod, 2009). This aspect is particularly important in competitive industries where cost management is a determinant of profitability and market position. Although tax optimization strategies are legal and widespread, the debate over their ethical implications continues. Scholars (Sikka, 2010; Murphy and Murphy, 2018) argue that aggressive tax planning, although permitted by tax law, may raise ethical concerns related to fairness and social responsibility. This tension highlights the importance of balancing tax efficiency with ethical standards and corporate citizenship. From a broader economic perspective, optimizing the tax burden on businesses can have a significant impact on economic growth, employment and public finances. Studies (Moores & Robinson, 2003; OECD, 2017) highlight that tax policies affecting business decisions can shape investment flows, entrepreneurship rates and regional development. Governments often use tax incentives and policy adjustments to stimulate economic activity and attract foreign investment, highlighting the link between tax optimization strategies and macroeconomic performance. Advances in technology have transformed the practice of tax administration, enabling real-time data analysis, automated compliance processes, and increased transparency (Akers et al., 2020). Digital platforms enable effective tax reporting and compliance monitoring, reducing administrative burdens for businesses and tax authorities. These technological innovations not only simplify operations, but also help improve accuracy and compliance rates, further optimizing the tax burden for business entities. Research methodology.
