Interdependența dintre cultură și evaziune fiscală în practica diferitor țări

Abstract

Tax evasion is a widespread phenomenon and continues to be a problem for many countries, although there are sanctions and audits. National culture can contribute to a better understanding of non-compliance in different countries. This study approaches the influence of national culture on tax compliance levels in 50 countries. Using Hofstede's cultural framework as a basis for forming hypotheses, it was found that a profile of a non-conforming country is characterized by several motivating factors, which will be extensively approached in this study. The results obtained can serve as source information for policy-makers. Specifically, policy-makers should take cultural values into account when drafting compliance legislation and possible behavioral irregularities. JEL: E 62, H 26, H 30, H 87, M 14
