| Summary: | A system is considered successful if the take-up rate is high.In Australia and the United States, tax e-filing users have reached more than 80 percent of total taxpayers.However, in Malaysia, the take-up rate of tax e-filing system by individual taxpayers is still considered low. Therefore, it is puzzling on the background of those who do not like to e-file and who like to e-file. The aim of this paper is to identify the characteristics of users and non-users of tax e-filing system in Malaysia.This is important as understanding the characteristics of users and
non-users of e-filing can help the government in making decision on the strategies to tackle the specific groups effectively, rather than implementing a general strategy in promoting the system.This study found that the main characteristics that influence a taxpayer to e-file or not are: gender, age, ethnicity and educational level. |
