The article explores the activities of digital platforms in the modern era of digital transformation. The proliferation of the platform type of economic relations is an objective process related to the digital and technological transformations in the modern world. This form provides the best competitive advantage for the platform customers as a result of receiving a "network" effect, which increases the value of the platform as its quantitative indicators increase. Platforms have been identified to generate both positive effects and increased risks associated with anticompetitive behavior due to the emergence of new forces with powerful market power. In addition, platforms can contribute to erosion of the tax base, increasing all kinds of discrimination and inequality. In Ukraine, as an open economy, the proliferation of new forms of economic relations organization creates a significant potential for productivity gains due to the wide potential for reducing transaction costs for economic relations entities and increasing their competitiveness both domestically and internationally. The article proposes to support the reorganization of socio-economic relations related to the proliferation of platforms on the basis of changes in antitrust, labor and tax law.
