The Social Perception of Tax Ethics in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Sweden and the United States

This paper examines the social perception of tax ethics among the national obligation data for Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Sweden and the United States that was gathered from 2016 by international social survey programme(ISSP). An obligation is a course of action that someone is required to take, whether legal or moral. National obligation is also often perceived as something owed to one’s country, or to one's homeland or community. National obligation could include obey the law, pay tax, provide for a common defense, enroll to vote, and vote at elections and referenda, and so on. This paper particularly look at the perception of tax ethics. In a tax system based largely on voluntary compliance, the taxpayer's standards of tax ethics are extremely important. Also of significance are attitudes about fiscal and tax policies proper bases of tax burden allocation, the equity and efficiency of tax administration. Countries were showing various forms of perception in tax ethics. This paper suggests that a number of social, economic, and political variables are significantly related to variations in standards of tax ethics. So it is important to look at this perception of tax ethics in order to understand the country.
