Abstract

Governments in developing countries have introduced substantial reforms to
their tax systems in recent decades. Many of these countries started to increase their tax base and now most of their public revenues originate from income and consumption taxes. However, the average tax intake of developing countries is still lower than in industrialized countries. The literature on tax compliance in industrialized countries has shown that nonpecuniary factors are important to explain tax compliance. This thesis studies how knowledge on taxes, skills in financial literacy, societal dynamics and reliability of public institutions are related to attitudes on tax payments in developing countries.
