The article analyzes the problems of law enforcement practice associated with changes in the state’s approach to the issue of administrative liability of business entities, namely, reducing the administrative burden on business through changes in the state’s approach to imposing administrative penalties and through the establishment of special grounds for initiating cases on administrative offenses against business entities. The main attention is paid to two aspects: the ambiguity of interpretation of the norms of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and the impact of this uncertainty on the business environment. It is emphasized that differences in law enforcement are associated with defects in regulatory legal acts and the wrong choice of methods for interpreting the law. The variability of practice is due to the use by courts of a literal or expansive interpretation of the norms of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. The solution to these problems requires a comprehensive approach that takes into account the interests of all stakeholders and a timely response from the legislator to changes in practice.
