Abstract

Tax evasion remains an important issue across the globe. There are numerous factors of tax evasion. In a multicultural and growing country such as Indonesia, ethnic background of a taxpayer could play a role as a determinant. This paper analyses the factors affecting perception of tax evasion among Chinese Indonesians using Structural Equation Modelling. We divide the determinants into four groups; character and culture, traditional factors, institutional factors, and tax morale. The paper further examines tax knowledge, a moderating variable to see its effect and significance on tax evasion. Character and culture has a significantly positive influence, while institutional factors and tax morale have a highly significant and positive effect towards the perception of tax evasion. Traditional factors shows the opposite. Tax knowledge does not moderate the relationship between character and culture, traditional factors, institutional factors, and tax morale. This study uses a questionnaire survey distributed to individual taxpayers from Surabaya, Jakarta and Medan.
