Farmers have benefited from unique tax treatment since the beginning of the income tax law. This paper explores agricultural influences on the passage of the income tax in 1913, using both qualitative and quantitative analysis. The results show that agricultural interests were influential in the development and passage of tax/tariff laws. The percentage of congressmen with agricultural ties explains the strong affection for agriculture. Discussion in congressional debates and in agricultural journals was passionate and patriotic in support of equity for farmers. The quantitative analysis reveals that the percentage farm population was a significant predictor of passage of the 16th Amendment by the states and of adoption of state income taxes in the 20th century.

This study measures how the internal audit units play a role in a Legal Entity University in fulfilling their tax obligations so that they fall into the category of compliant taxpayers. The Legal Entity University is a domestic tax subject because it does not meet the criteria of certain units of a government agency that are excluded as domestic subjects, as referred to in Article 2 paragraph (3) letter b of the Income Tax Law. In the case of a Legal Entity University having a business in the form of a separate legal entity, each separate legal entity has its own taxation obligations. With that status, the role of internal audit in LEU is very important, especially in overseeing the implementation of income tax deductions and collection.
