Realizing the role of investments for the implementation of the policy of economic growth and increasing the monetary income and savings of the population, it is proposed to develop the development budget in the regions as an independent target monetary fund as part of the consolidated budget of the subject of the Russian Federation and a tool for activating investment processes. The authors substantiate two options for the formation of its income based on the state of the economic potential of the region and inter-budgetary relations in the country. The article argues for the need to reflect in the development budget tax expenditures corresponding to the amount of incentive tax benefits provided by the sub-federal government to investors. The analysis of the forms of state support for investment projects in the Rostov region that are in demand by business – tax incentives, “engineering” subsidies, special investment contracts-allowed us to formulate a set of measures to improve tax legislation. The full functioning of the development budget is impossible without its consolidation in the Budget Code of the Russian Federation, as well as simplification of the mechanisms for providing tax instruments that stimulate investment processes, maintaining the stability of tax legislation, and expanding the tax independence of the state authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation.
