Why is it important?

Understanding of taxpayers' perception of corruption can help to improve their voluntary compliance.

Perspectives

Developing countries need to collect more tax revenue to satisfy the growing needs of publicly provided goods and services. To this end, it is important to cultivate voluntary tax compliance. Understanding of how taxpayers feel about corruption can assist tax authorities to improve voluntary compliance.
