This book was released on 2011-12-02 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taxpayer compliance is a voluntary activity, and the degree to which the tax system works is affected by taxpayers’ knowledge that it is their moral and legal responsibility to pay their taxes. Taxpayers also recognize that they face a lottery in which not all taxpayer noncompliance will ever be detected. In the United States most individuals comply with the tax law, yet the tax gap has grown significantly over time for individual taxpayers. The US Internal Revenue Service attempts to ensure that the minority of taxpayers who are noncompliant pay their fair share with a variety of enforcement tools and penalties. The Causes and Consequences of Income Tax Noncompliance provides a comprehensive summary of the empirical evidence concerning taxpayer noncompliance and presents innovative research with new results on the role of IRS audit and enforcements activities on compliance with federal and state income tax collection. Other issues examined include to what degree taxpayers respond to the threat of civil and criminal enforcement and the important role of the media on taxpayer compliance. This book offers researchers, students, and tax administrators insight into the allocation of taxpayer compliance enforcement and service resources, and suggests policies that will prevent further increases in the tax gap. The book’s aggregate data analysis methods have practical applications not only to taxpayer compliance but also to other forms of economic behavior, such as welfare fraud.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reports on the results of a controlled experiment in Minnesota in which a random sample of taxpayers was informed that their income tax returns would certainly be closely examined. We analyze reported income of this sample of taxpayers, reported income on their previous year's returns, and reported income from the two corresponding years' returns of a control group of taxpayers that did not receive the letter. We find that the treatment effect varies depending on the level of income. Low and middle income taxpayers increased reported income and tax liability relative to the control group, which we interpret as indicating the presence of noncompliance. The effect was much stronger for those with more opportunity' to evade, as measured by their source of income. However, the reported income of the high-income treatment group fell sharply relative to the control group. We suggest a model based on tax audits as a negotiation that can explain this apparently perverse result

Download or read book Taxpayer Compliance, Volume 2 written by Jeffrey A. Roth and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not everyone complies with the United States Internal Revenue Code. Many individuals and organizations fail to file timely tax returns, assess their tax liability correctly, or pay taxes when due. To improve compliance, tax administrators must choose among alternative strategies, such as increasing evaders' risks of punishment, motivating social norms, and making compliance easier. Concerned with these choices, the IRS asked the National Academy to assess previous research on the determinants of taxpayer compliance and to highlight the most promising areas for future research. The Academy's panel authored the two-volume Taxpayer Compliance. Volume 2 is a collection of eight background papers commissioned by the panel. They present novel theories and research ideas proposed by scholars from many social sciences to improve the understanding of taxpayer compliance. The varied topics addressed include: the political and institutional context of the American tax system; a typology of noncompliance; a study of the way the visibility of noncompliance affects patterns of taxpaying in the house-painting profession; and theories of ways tax practitioners may affect their clients' compliance. These papers not only illustrate for a general audience what various disciplines can add to knowledge but also suggest for specialized researchers the opportunities that taxpayer compliance offers for extending and testing the theories of their disciplines. Taxpayer Compliance will be a valuable reference for tax practitioners and others concerned with noncompliance problems, and for scholars and students of law and sociology, political science, social psychology, and economics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlocking what drives tax morale – the intrinsic willingness to pay tax – can greatly assist governments in the design of tax policies and their administration, particularly in developing countries where compliance rates are low. This report builds on previous OECD research to identify some of the key socio-economic and institutional drivers of tax morale across developing countries, and seeks to test for evidence of the social contract by examining the impact of public services on tax morale. It also uses new data on tax certainty as an entry point to explore tax morale in businesses, where existing research is very limited. Finally, the report identifies a range of factors related to the tax system that may affect business decision making, how they vary across regions, and suggests some areas for future research. Overall, the report provides a range of suggestions for further work, and how tax morale considerations can be integrated into holistic tax compliance strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. tax compliance appears "too high" to be explained by rational risk-taking incentives when aggregate audit probabilities are considered. However, this dissertation shows that low underreporting is compatible with low probability levels when the taxpayer faces a realistic audit and detection probability function that depends on his choice of underreporting as well as his distribution of income between third-party reported (i.e. matched) and non-third-party reported (i.e. unmatched) income. In response to the proposed probability function, taxpayers have incentive to increase their compliance in order to strategically lower the risk of noncompliance detection. U.S. audit data from the 2001 National Research Program reveals taxpayer behavior that is consistent with response to the proposed probability function. First, the presence and amount of unmatched income are the primary determinants of underreporting incidence. This finding is consistent with taxpayers accounting for the likely detection of matched income underreporting and the lower likelihood for unmatched income underreporting. Second, taxpayers with little unmatched income tend to underreport 100% of it, whereas taxpayers with more unmatched income are partially compliant. These findings are consistent with response to an audit and detection probability that is generally increasing in the amount of underreporting, perhaps reflecting the tax agency's ability to identify and detect more egregious instances of noncompliance. Interestingly, taxpayers with more unmatched income tend to be wealthier and face higher tax rates; therefore, correlation between underreporting and total income, as well as underreporting and tax rates, is largely spurious.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last several decades, there has been a growing interest in theoretical, empirical, and experimental work on all aspects of tax compliance and tax evasion. The essays in this volume summarize the existing state of knowledge of tax compliance and tax evasion, present new thinking about this issue, and analyze the empirical relevance of these new perspectives. The original essays in this volume represent an attempt to provide a framework on compliance that moves beyond the economics-of-crime perspective, one that provides a more complete understanding of individual (and group) decisions, and one that is more consistent with empirical evidence. It is the insights of behavioural economics that provide much of the bases for these essays and the main theme running through this book is that the basic model of individual choice must be expanded, by introducing some aspects of behaviour or motivation considered explicitly by other social sciences.

This book was released on 2013-09-30 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of why taxpayers behave the way they do. It reveals the motivations for why some taxpayers comply with the law while others choose not to comply. Given the current global financial climate there is a need for governments worldwide to increase their revenue collections via improving taxpayer compliance. Research into what shapes and influences taxpayer behavior is critical in that any marginal improvement in understanding and dealing with this behavior can potentially have a dramatic impact upon government revenue. Based on Australian data derived from the data bases of the Australian Taxation Office as an example, this book presents findings that provide lessons for tax systems around the world. Regardless of the type of tax system in place, taxpayers of all nationalities are concerned about how their tax authorities deal with non-compliance and in particular how the tax authorities go about encouraging compliance and ensuring a fair tax system for all. The book presents empirical evidence concerning taxpayer compliance behavior with particular attention being drawn to the moral values of taxpayers, the perceived fairness of the tax system and the deterrent measures undertaken by revenue authorities which influence that behavior. Other issues examined include the degree to which tax penalties operate as an effective deterrent to curbing behavior and how taxpayers' level of general tax knowledge and awareness also impacts upon their actions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the Determinants of Personal Income Tax Compliance. The study anchors on the fiscal exchange theory and social & psychological theory to predict the determinants of personal income tax compliance. The survey research design was adopted and questionnaire was distributed to elicit responses from self-employed persons. The ordered logistic regression was used to analyse the data gathered and was done electronically using the SPSS and Eviews 7 software. The findings show that there is a significant positive relationship between tax rate and personal income tax compliance; the perception of taxpayers' of the Government of the day has a significant impact on how they comply with personal income taxation; taxpayers' income has a significant impact on personal income tax compliance; the gender of the taxpayer has no significant positive relationship with his/her level of tax compliance; and the attitude of taxpayers to the tax system has a significant impact on personal income tax compliance. The study therefore concludes that the psychological aspects of taxpayers such as taxpayers' perception and attitude have a more fundamental impact on personal income tax compliance than deterrent tax measures. Based on these, the study recommends amongst others that deterrent tax measures such as fines and penalties should incorporate the psychological aspect of taxpayers. That is, tax administrators should know when and how to combine strict deterrent measures with persuasive measures (education).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book will be of considerable assistance to students and other researchers working in the area of compliance behaviour, or more generally, in the area of designing empirical studies. Margaret McKerchar, The British Accounting Review Torgler s book is a valuable contribution to the tax field, especially as it pioneers research into tax morale that is in its infancy and helps redress the US domination of the tax-compliance literature. It places econometric analysis where it rightly belongs as the supporting act, not the main feature! and takes a holistic approach in attempting to explain the complex area of human behaviour that tax compliance involves, whatever the country. Jeff Pope, Agenda Benno Torgler has written an exciting and important book. His careful and imaginative use of survey and experimental data explores important behavioral and institutional dimensions of tax policy and administration that have been too long neglected. The book provides a thorough exposition of what we now know about these issues as well as a rich menu of suggestions about how to do empirical research on the relation between citizens and states and how to build social capital through rethinking how states tax their citizens. Richard M. Bird, University of Toronto, Canada The question of why citizens pay their taxes has attracted increased attention in the tax compliance literature of late. In this book, Benno Torgler considers the evidence that suggests that enforcement efforts cannot fully explain the high degree of tax compliance within society. To attempt to resolve this puzzle, numerous researchers have argued that citizens attitudes towards paying taxes (defined as tax morale) help to explain the high degree of compliance. Yet most have treated tax morale itself as a black box, failing to discuss the issues influencing it. This unique volume provides important new insights into the factors that shape the emergence and maintenance of citizens willingness to cooperate with tax legislations in different societies. Distinctive in its examination of citizen tax morale and tax compliance, this book will be of great interest to academics, researchers and students concerned with economics, political science, sociology, social psychology and accounting. It will also appeal to policymakers and practitioners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tax compliance, or lack thereof, has been a consistent public policy issue throughout history. Based on the latest tax gap estimates for years 2008 - 2010, the IRS determined an estimated annual tax gap of about $458 billion. The majority of the tax gap (70%) relates to the individual income tax and further study is necessary in order to understand individual tax compliance behavior. Tax compliance literature historically focused on the impact of economic factors on taxpayer behavior. More recent research, however, has begun to incorporate moral, psychological and social attributes of human behavior in the quest to understand individual income tax compliance (Roth 1989, Kirchler 2007). Through a 3 (peer group) x 2 (income type) experimental tax task, this study intends to gain more understanding of the effects of peers on individual tax compliance behavior. Both tax morality and socioeconomics are explored as potential moderators of the relationship between peers and income tax compliance.
