The transformation of the world financial market under the influence of global imbalances necessitates strengthening measures to strengthen the economic growth of countries. The article substantiates that the main component of financial development is the system of taxes and fees with the help of which the strategic functions of any state are provided. Scientific approaches and theoretical aspects to the formation of the taxation system are structured. Scientific and methodological aspects of the formation of the taxation system in modern conditions have been developed, which, in contrast to the existing ones, are based on the basic principles, types and forms of taxes and fees, taking into account the peculiarities of the national economy and the specifics of its functioning. The periodization of the main stages of the convergence of tax systems in the world has been developed, which is substantiated and based on the historical approach of the development of taxes as an economic category and religious views. On the basis of the proposed periodization of the main stages of convergence of tax systems in the world, the diversity of the functioning of the taxation systems of the countries of the world is highlighted, which necessitated their clustering into homogeneous groups according to the levels of tax burden. To classify the countries of the world by the level of tax burden, a multidimensional cluster analysis of the level of tax burden was carried out, which made it possible to determine that the most attractive for investors are taxes in Arab countries, which form an acceptable climate for ensuring economic growth. To assess the impact of the tax burden on the economic growth of the United Arab Emirates, a correlation-regression analysis was carried out. The obtained results of the study, in contrast to the existing ones, made it possible to determine the significant role of taxes in the formation of strategic indicators of economic development and the volume of GDP. The practical significance of the research results lies in the fact that the developed scientific and methodological approaches to the formation of the taxation system in modern conditions can be applied in practice in the formation of the financial strategy of the state, and the developed aspects of multidimensional cluster analysis will determine the key factors of the tax burden in each country. Interpretation of the correlation-regression analysis of the impact of the tax burden on economic growth will make it possible to determine the main measures to resolve the dependence of taxes and the volume of the country's GDP.
