It will be a challenging task for RMCD when the noncompliance is high as there will be leakage of government revenue. The main purpose of this study is to measure and examine the relationship between tax knowledge, tax attitude, complexity of the GST laws and GST compliance using Fischer Model. A total of 310 questionnaires were distributed to customs officers in Penang, which is a state office of RMCD.
