dc.description.abstractThis study investigates the relationship between taxpayers' attitudes towards the tax system, compliance costs, and tax compliance among SMEs in Uganda. The findings reveal a strong positive correlation between Taxpayers’ attitudes towards the tax system and tax compliance (r = .755, p<.01). Additionally, the study identifies significant positive associations between tax compliance and perceived fairness, perceived benefits, and willingness to pay (r = .685, .616, and .692, respectively). Conversely, there is a strong negative correlation between compliance costs and tax compliance (r = -.738, p<.01), with higher administration and specialist costs linked to lower compliance (r = -.700 and -.675). Regression analysis shows that taxpayers' attitudes and compliance costs predict 61.8% of the variance in tax compliance, with attitudes being a slightly stronger predictor (β = .457) compared to compliance costs (β = .374). The findings suggest that improving taxpayers' attitudes and reducing compliance costs could significantly enhance tax compliance among SMEs in Uganda.
