They interact and have an impact on each other's actions following by tax compliance or tax non-compliance. However, no wider study encompassing both tax payers and tax administrators has been conducted in Lithuania. Since a survey of all participants in the tax system would require substantial time, human, and financial resources, during the first study, only one group, tax payers, was surveyed. During the second study, tax administrators were surveyed along with the tax payers. The present study has the following objectives: to describe the problem of tax evasion in the context of attitudes and behaviours of participants in the tax system; to estimate the tax compliance and evasion situation in Lithuania on the basis of attitudes and behaviours of tax payers; to establish how tax administrators estimate the tax compliance (evasion) situation in Lithuania; to assess the relationship between tax administrators and tax payers; to determine similarities and differences of their attitudes; to assess the key aspects of tax evasion; and to identify measures for the solution of this problem.展开更多
