This research develops a broad conceptual framework of shadow economy transactions in Indonesia based on the previous research and finds the correlation with the current tax regulation on automatic exchange of information and tax compliance. Shadow economy is the activity of individuals, households, and/or firms that evade, avoid, or not report its transaction to the government. Based on the previous research, by using monetary approach, the average size of shadow economy in Indonesia equals to 8 – 19% of GDP. Based on this data, the government uses automatic exchange of information (AEOI) to minimize the effect of shadow economy to increase tax revenue and to boost tax compliance.

The study interrogates the relationship between educational level and tax compliance in Nigeria. The study employs the ex post facto research design to ascertain how government investment in education enhances tax compliance. The study covers 17 years (2002-2018) for both tax revenue (a surrogate for tax compliance) and education expenditure (a surrogate for educational level). From the empirical results, the study concludes that there is a positive nexus between government expenditure on education and tax revenue. The study, therefore, recommends that as a matter of necessity, the government should invest more in the overall educational demand of her citizens not only from tax revenues but from other oil and non-oil sources. The governments, from the federal and state levels, should act as a matter national priority endeavour to meet up with the international budgetary benchmark allocation for education, as recommended by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in its Education for All (EFA) document 2000-2015. This will give Nigerians more access to quality education that would result in moving up the global ranking in HDI with its resultant benefits.

The background of this research is the contribution of tax revenue from the Small Micro and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) sector which is still less than the national tax revenue although the amount of tax revenue from the UMKM sector continues to grow. This condition occurs after the government issued special tax rates for MSMEs through Government Regulation Number 46 of 2013 and most recently amended through Government Regulation Number 23 of 2018. The sources of this research are the MSMEs taxpayers in Tegal City, Tegal Regency, and Brebes Regency which consist of industry players, store building owners, food stall owners, transportation service actors, workshop owners, gold shop owners, and fishing tool shop owners.

<p><em>In the last few decade, the government still faces the problem of low tax revenue. The low level of tax compliance is an issue that is often discussed. In the self-assessment system, the responsibility for fulfilling tax obligations lies in the taxpayer side then the knowledge and comprehension of taxation matter is very substantial. This study aims to identify the relationship between tax knowledge and tax compliance behavior. Furthermore, it also attempts to map the situation of tax knowledge and tax compliance behavior in Indonesian. Through statistical tests with the multiple linear regression method based on a survey involving 260 respondents at a national scale, it is found that knowledge related to tax regulations significantly has influenced tax compliance behavior. Moreover, stepwise regression has identified the two most influential factors, there are knowledge of tax objects and knowledge of tax penalties. In addition, the t-test and MANOVA test prove that the ownership of NPWP, education level, occupation, and income significantly influence the tax knowledge.</em></p>

Why are some people more willing to pay their taxes than others? In some countries the government is able to collect more than 90% of the taxes it is owed, while in other countries more than 30% of tax revenue goes missing due to tax evasion. This book explores this question by examining the fiscal history of five different democratic nations: Sweden, Britain, Italy, the United States, and Romania. This chapter introduces the book and draws out the central themes introduced in the substantive chapters. Drawing on these rich historical chapters, the introduction shows that successful states have developed strong administrative capacities, treat all taxpayers fairly, and deliver value for the monies they collect. This chapter argues that differences in tax compliance across countries is not explained by different political cultures, but is instead explained by differences in the efficacy of state institutions and the ways they have interacted with their citizens.

Tax amnesty program is one instrument that is used widely by the tax authorities  in many countries in order to increase tax revenue, broaden the tax base, improve tax compliance and other purposes. In addition to having a large role in increasing tax revenue, tax amnesty program also may be adversely affected as opposed to the benefits generated. Not all countries implement tax amnesty program success in implementing it. Experiences in the tax amnesty implementation in several countries showed that the program of tax amnesty are carried out several times and the implementation time was easily anticipated by the taxpayer generally not as successful if the program of tax amnesty is only a one-time, non-recurring and can not be anticipated time of its implementation by the taxpayer. In 2016 the Government of Indonesia to implement tax amnesty program that will be implemented starting on July 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017. After going through the analysis based on the experience of implementation of tax amnesty program conducted by several other countries can be predicted that the tax amnesty program implemented by the Government of Indonesia will be a success. Tax amnesty program implemented is estimated to have a great opportunity to meet the expectations of increasing tax revenue, broaden the tax base, improve tax compliance significantly. However, for the hope of repatriation of assets of the taxpayer from abroad into the country seems not to be able to meet expectations.

Abstract Shadow economy and corruption are the two harmful activities that do not work in the favour of tax revenue performance. As a result it renders an effective government incapacitated and unable to carry out its social responsibilities. This study considers the effect of the informal economy and graft on tax revenue performance in Nigeria using secondary data that cover a period from 1996 to 2018. This period has been covered by the corruption perception index captured by the Transparency International for Nigeria. Despite the theoretical approaches available in measuring the size of the shadow economy, the ordinary least squares technique is specifically used to perform the multi-regression analysis to arrive at the empirical results which indicate that both the shadow economy and corruption have negative influences on tax revenue performance in Nigeria, although the negative impact of corruption on tax revenue is more robust and significant. Thus, the study suggests among others that the government should step up action against corruption and also address the root causes of shadow economy in order to make the participants of the informal sector willing to formalize their businesses and voluntarily comply with tax payment obligations.

Abstract The economic and financial effect of underground economy in all emerging countries is of tremendous concern. Sometimes due to the inputs of the sector to economic growth of nations, it is usually assumed that the government has nothing to lose, meanwhile it goes beyond the seemingly economic benefits, but provides an avenue whereby the government has to suffer financial losses through unavoidable and inherent tax evasions. This study evaluates the impact of shadow economy using the transaction approach and the MIMIC approach which helped to determine the size of the shadow economy as a percentage of GDP and the tax revenue losses suffered by the government for a period spanning from 1991 to 2018. Ordinary least squares method is used to examine the impact of tax revenue earned and lost on Nigeria’s GDP. The regression results indicate that tax revenue earned has a significant positive impact on economic growth, while the tax revenue loss has a significant negative influence on GDP. The study finds that underground economy activities do more harm to the government than good and is also detrimental to Nigeria’s economic progress. Therefore the suggestion among others is that the legal activities among them should be formalized and taxed while the unlawful ones should be exterminated.
