These topics are relevant to the advanced taxation course in the under-graduate and post-graduate programs (Masters and PhD). Each topic is discussed with relevant literature. The first three chapters touch on issues and problems related to the new tax administrative system i.e the self-assessment system, which is being implemented in developed countries including Malaysia, and is now being adopted for implementation in many developing countries worldwide. Chapters 2, 3 and 4 give an insight to issues related to tax systems, taxpayer compliance and compliance costs. The other four chapters 5, 6, 7 and 8 discuss topics that are categorised as selected tax issues. The selected tax issues include transfer pricing, accounting malpractices and tax issues, taxation of ecommerce and electronic tax administration. These issues have not been deliberated before, and it is timely that a book of this nature is published for tax authorities, researchers, students, lecturers, authorities and practitioners.

Fairness in the sense of tax equality is a fundamental principle in modern tax systems. In recent years tax administrations have been making tremendous advances in moving from paper tax returns to a far-reaching digitalisation of the taxation procedure. This paper represents the first attempt to examine the impact of digitalisation of the tax administration on fair taxation through model theory. The model suggested in this paper is based on Allingham and Sandmo’s tax evasion model (Allingham & Sandmo, 1972, 323–338) supplemented by psychological costs of tax evasion and compliance costs and then transferred to the context of digitalisation and fair taxation. The model is intended to mathematically derive the influence of various digitalisation measures on the taxpayer's decision to behave fairly. It implies that the objective of fair taxation should be promoted with a mix of deterrent and encouraging measures.

Tax compliance is a major problem that needs to get more attention in the era of self assessment system. Many factors cause low taxpayer compliance. Trust in tax institutions, complicated regulations, low public awareness and tax administration are the main issues affecting taxpayer compliance in Indonesia. Organizational improvement, human resources, information technology, business processes and legislation are expected to be able to overcome the problems of tax administration so that it will improve taxpayer compliance. In addition, changes in people's perspectives need to be continued, excellent service and organizational transparency need to be carried out by the Directorate General of Taxes. Education of taxpayers needs to be improved to improve tax compliance and channeling payments and reporting needs to continue to be a new effort in this era of information technology. Finally, collaboration with all government and private agencies is a complement to raising tax awareness so that voluntary compliance can be achieved.

Data for the study were collected using a structured questionnaire from respondents registered with the state Board of Internal Revenue determined using Taro Yamene’s Statistical Formula. Descriptive and Regression Analyses were adopted for data treatment. The model summary reveals that 80.8% of the variation in Tax compliance is accounted for the variables of perception of equity and fairness, income level and level of education of the tax payers. The ANOVA Summary justifies that the independent variables have significant influence on tax compliance with f-calculated value of 233.763 being greater than the critical f-value of 0.308451 at P<0.05. The regression coefficient indicates a positive and significant relationship between perception of equity and fairness (0.260), level of education (0.103) and tax compliance. Income level (-0.055) has negative influence on tax compliance. It is recommended that tax authorities should evolve a framework that will motivate, control, sensitize and educate tax payers on voluntary compliance in Self-Assessment system.

This study aims to explore the barriers to evidence based practice (EBP) experienced by nurses working in a Maldivian healthcare organisation. A total of 400 questionnaires were distributed to nurses in 5 healthcare facilities and 198 completed questionnaires were returned. The results of this study show that the perceived barriers by the nurses in the Maldives are not significantly different from those reported in developed countries. For healthcare organisations in the Maldives, it is necessary to have a clear understanding of the barriers and facilitators to research practice in order to implement EBP. The study showed that the major barriers to research use were that “the relevant literature is not compiled in one place,” there is “insufficient time on the job to implement new ideas,” and “administration will not allow implementation.” The key facilitating factors for EBP include support, encouragement, and recognition by the management and administration. The findings of this study can be useful for determining strategies that can be introduced in the clinical setting to use EBP. Healthcare organisations must continue their support in order to decrease the barriers and optimise care in healthcare facilities.
