The article reports the results of the comparative analysis embracing some characteristics of the financial systems in Russia’s regions engaged in mineral mining. It is found that taxation of personal income in these regions is of peculiar character owing to specifi city of job management in mines, including the common practice of job sharing. The information basis of this study was the data of the government statistics and fi scal service of the Russian Federation. Having analyzed the data base on the volumes and structures of gross regional products (GRP), the authors identify a stable group of regions where the share of mining industry prevails in GRP (resource regions). Based on the statistics on GRP per capita, income and expenditures of population and share of taxes in regional budgets, the leading resource regions are determined. The conceptual recommendations are made toward improvement of the control over a resource region economy.
