Abstract	Legislation and legal science in Ukraine operate controversial terms, which are not etymologically balanced and perceived ambiguously in law enforcement. In particular this is the concept of term “corruption”. This article is devoted to clarifying the content of the legislative definition of term “corruption”, in result we give formulation of its constituent parts, namely “receipt of undue advantage” and “acceptance of undue benefits”.
Keywords	corruption; concept; bribery; receipt of undue advantage; acceptance of undue benefits.
