A representative sample of 471 Austrian self-employed taxpayers was investigated and types of taxpayers selected on the basis of their motivational postures were extracted. By means of a cluster analysis four basic clusters of taxpayers were identified. ‘Solidary’ taxpayers pay their taxes because they perceive the tax system as fair. ‘Non-solidary’ taxpayers experience their tax burden as unfair. ‘Critical’ taxpayers feel unfairly treated and show high resistance but do not necessarily react by evading taxes. ‘Strategic’ taxpayers feel fairly treated but still try to reduce their tax burden if they perceive the opportunity to do so. The results show that positive and negative attitudes, respectively, to taxes do not necessarily lead to tax compliance or tax evasion. Cooperative and uncooperative behaviour originates from different motives.

Development Prospects

The extent of tax compliance has important implications for revenue yield, efficiency and the fairness of any tax system. Tax evasion undermines revenue collection, distorts competition, and undermines a country’s development prospects. In this paper, we investigate whether higher productivity causally leads to lower tax evasion. We first present stylized facts consistent with this view and develop a model that illustrates one potential transmission channel. Second, we test the model predictions at the firm level using the self-reported share of declared income as proxy for tax evasion for a large sample of emerging and developing economies. Our results suggests that productivity improvements by firms can lead to lower tax evasion.

Taxation System

 In a developing economy like India taxation is a main source of public finance. Indian taxation system always suffered from problems such as tax evasion, inefficient administration etc. Administration of taxation always needs such a system which will be less in error and prompt in decision making. Indian taxation system is suffering from lack of manpower to perform tedious tasks such as data entry, scrutiny of return, tax audit etc. To manage the changing tax landscape alongside use of analytics recently Indian government announced the use of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning in tax assessment system. Artificial Intelligence or known as AI is a relatively new phenomenon in tax. Recently the government of India announced to use faceless tax assessment system empowered by AI/ML. In the Present paper we attempt to find out the role of AI/ML in Indian taxation system and on the basis of factors such as tax knowledge, tax education, legal sanction, complexity of tax system, relationship with tax authority, perceived fairness of the tax system, ethics and attitudes towards tax compliance, awareness of offences and penalties, tax education, possibility of being audited etc. we want to know about the perception of taxpayers towards adoption of Artificial Intelligence based tax system.

The Impact

The article analyzes the factors influencing tax evasion: the value of gross domestic product per capita, tax burden, corruption and openness of information on the use of budgetary funds. The correlation model includes the analysis of two groups of indicators. The first group is indicators of the individual level: education, socio-economic status, attitude to religion, gender, etc. The second group is indicators of the global or national level: GDP per capita, tax burden, the level of corruption in the country, the degree of financial transparency of public finances. The results of the study confirmed the hypothesis that law-abiding tax behavior is largely determined by the openness of information about the use of tax revenues by governments. Disclosure of information on the use of budget funds can become a powerful tool for strengthening the understanding of the legitimacy of the state tax policy, as well as act as a preventive measure to overcome existing facts of tax evasion. Increasing the transparency of public finances will make it possible to reproduce a new level of tax culture, to form an internal agreement of citizens with the fiscal policy of the state.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to establish the relationship between perceived grounds for tax non-compliance or compliance behaviors and perceived tax compliance factors. Design/methodology/approach The study employed a correlational and cross-sectional survey design seeking to understand tax compliance by taxpayers’ perceptions in Uganda. Data from 205 respondents to the questionnaire were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Scientists and structural equation modeling with analysis of moment structures. Findings Governmental effectiveness, transparent tax system (TTS) and voice and accountability (VA) are perceived grounds for tax compliance or non-tax compliance and, as indicators of tax administration significantly influence variances in tax compliance. Tax compliance in Uganda is indicated by perceived worth and distribution of public expenditure (WDPE), level of taxation, inequalities in the tax system and tax evasion. Research limitations/implications No distinction is made between actual and potential taxpayers. Still, the results can contribute to our understanding of tax compliance puzzle from the behavioral angle. Factors such as perceived WDPE indicate a taxpayer’s compliance decision and factors such as governmental effectiveness explain that decision. Additional government policy requirements beyond greater enforcement actions by the tax authorities should be cultivated. Originality/value Results contribute to extending the basic tax effort model by establishing the extent to which VA, TTS and governmental effectiveness (GEF) matter in a developing country context. The study presents tax compliance as a taxpayer’s decision that is informed by perceptions and shows that factors increasing the taxpayers’ perceptions about VA and GEF relate to the importance that their perceptions have in their tax compliance decisions.

This research was conducted to prove that behavior can occur because of the intention to do so. The population in this study are individual taxpayers who carry out business activities and independent jobs registered at KPP Pratama Samarinda. Sampling is by judgment sampling method, calculate using the Slovin measurement determined by 100 respondents. The data collection method using a survey method using questionnaires. The results of this study indicate that the intention to behave as antecedents positively affects the three determinants of taxpayer's perceptions of tax evasion, namely tax authorities services, tax justice, and tax compliance costs. The authors find that attitude toward behavior, and perceived behavioral control are predictors of intention to commit tax evasion. Factor cited as couraging tax evasion in this study is tax compliance cost. While for the tax authority's services and tax justice do not affect the taxpayer’s perceptions of tax evasion. This research find out the pattern of taxpayers when they commit tax evasion, starting from the perception of the taxpayer's intention. This study recommends that necessary measures should be taken by tax authorities to improve revenue collection and reduce tax evasion.

The Relationship

Purpose The success of self-assessment tax system is voluntary compliance with the tax laws. When tax evasion is seen as unacceptable, taxpayers will tend to evade tax less. Hence, the understanding of taxpayers’ attitude on tax morality towards a tax system has to be enhanced to minimize tax evasion cases. The purposes of this study are to examine the relationship between tax fairness, tax knowledge, enforcement level and social exchange towards taxpayers’ attitude of tax morality under the self-assessment system in Malaysia and also to identify the relationship between taxpayers’ attitude of tax morality and taxpayers’ perceptions on tax evasion. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 400 taxpayers through a questionnaire and analysed. Findings From the analysis, it has been found out that tax knowledge is the most important tax system characteristic that affects taxpayers’ attitude of tax morality. In addition, taxpayers’ attitude of tax morality is significant to taxpayers’ perceptions on tax evasion in Malaysia. Originality/value The findings of this study would be useful for the government to further improve the present tax system to increase voluntary tax compliance.

Positive Effect

During the period of 2014-2019 Ukraine experienced many tax changes, which concerned the optimization of the tax system to overcome threats to tax security in the field of tax payment, filling of the state budget and tax administration. Changes in the tax system have significantly affected the amount of tax revenues, but there is uncertainty about their effectiveness in ensuring tax security. The purpose of the article is to quantify the level of effectiveness of tax reforms in order to ensure tax security. Based on the analysis of publications in 2016-2019, major tax reforms in Ukraine were studied and the indicators that assess the effectiveness of reforms in the field of tax security were selected. The analysis of indicators of efficiency of administration and tax burden in Ukraine, Georgia and Poland in 2008-2019 is carried out. It is determined that there has been a reduction in the risks of tax evasion and the risks of non-payment of taxes due to improved tax administration. In general, the time for tax administration in Ukraine was significantly reduced and this was the most drastic change. In 10 years, the time of preparation and payment of taxes (hours) has been reduced from 860 hours to 328 hours! As a result, the risks of tax evasion in Ukraine have decreased due to the reduction of the tax burden on business; the administration of taxes and contributions has become more efficient, which reduces the risks of tax evasion. These indicators affected the amount of tax revenues and relative indicators of the tax burden. Tax revenues (% of GDP) in Ukraine increased by 2.27% of GDP. This means that the efficiency of tax revenue administration has improved, which has a positive effect on the level of tax security. As a result, the tax system has become more transparent.

This study examined how electronic tax system (E- tax system) reduces tax evasion in Nigeria. The survey sample was drawn from Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) staff and small and medium-scale enterprise taxpayers registered in F.C.T., Abuja, Nigeria. Primary data was derived from a questionnaire administered to a population of 60 officials and employees of the FIRS and taxpayers at a small and medium-scale enterprise registered in F.C.T., Abuja, Nigeria. The secondary data used was extracted from the tax revenue collection report on the FIRS platform for 2000–2019 (20 years). The conclusive research design was used. General linear model and linear regression were used to analyze the data collected. The E-tax system was measured using actual tax revenues and the level of electronic tax services. In contrast, tax evasion was measured using tax compliance and mind-set of taxpayers towards E-tax system. Taxpayers’ attitudes towards E-tax system, actual tax revenue, tax compliance and the level of electronic tax services were used as mediating and control variables; thus, results established a significant relationship, and this relationship is an adverse one. The work shows that an effective electronic tax system will significantly reduce tax evasion. Therefore, the proper implementation of the electronic tax system helps mitigate the problem of tax evasion that causes economic and social detriments in the tax administration system.

Do So

Prior studies of the strategic interaction between taxpayers and the tax authority have focused on reported net taxable income and on audit policies designed to discover potential misstatement of that single item. This paper extends the literature by modeling taxpayer compliance behavior and tax authority audit strategies within the context of a multidimensional report of taxable income. Specifically, the study analyzes the impact of component reporting requirements on taxpayer incentives to misstate their tax liability. It also allows the tax authority to tailor its audit policy to consider all tax return information. In particular, the model permits the tax authority to audit return components sequentially: the investigation of a second component is conditional on the results of the first component's audit. The study finds that partitioning taxable income into a multi-component report reduces overall tax evasion and increases tax authority net revenue collections relative to a singlereport model of net taxable income. However, the impact on predicted evasion is not uniform across taxpayers. While some taxpayers reduce evasion, others with multiple opportunities to evade are more likely to do so when faced with multi-component reporting requirements.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between personal values and personal tax culture regarding the perception of a tax system’s fairness. The paper deals with the main theoretical starting points of the fundamental cornerstones of the general tax culture such as tax evasion, tax compliance and tax system. Based on findings in Schwartz's model of personal values, the paper discusses some of individual personal values, categorized into ten groups within a two-dimensional circular design, along two bipolar dimensions. Because this field of research is largely unexplored and based on the previous theoretical research, a conceptual model for analysing this relationship was developed.
