How the Income Tax Legislation Is Designed to Encourage Voluntary Tax Compliance by Taxpayers in Tanzania?
[enter Abstract BodyTax is considered to be and of course, it is the most important source of income worldwide. It is very true that if we could have a world where its people (all people) are willing to pay tax without any compulsion that could have been a better moment ever and could actually facilitate development. The question has always been "what if I have money and I am at liberty to pay tax?" The subsequent question to that is "Will I pay?” The two questions aforementioned are not rhetoric but brainstorming one of which a very simple answer (of which even a layman could have responded similarly) is probably no and this is due to nature of people around all over the world of which I found no reason to Labor much effort discussing about them.Due to what has been articulated above it comes therefore a need to find a way to ensure Tax Compliance specifically voluntary tax compliance and that is of course by way of enacting tax legislation. Honestly speaking, payment of tax is a matter of compulsion and not a matter of choice; and everything is taxed unless it is excluded, generally deducted or exempted. One cannot choose to pay or not to pay, so long as he or she earns something payment of tax is compulsory however, how and when to pay depends on the nature of tax say a nature of transaction will determine mode of payment. It is clear beyond a sane doubt that some people pay tax voluntarily but how voluntary is voluntary again remain to be another brainstorming question in a series and this will be explained deeply at the later stage in this paper.That being-said, the given statement is very true and this paper consists of answers that are directed on the same path that voluntary tax compliance by taxpayers depends on how the tax legislation is effective to facilitate the process
