摘要：Why do people pay taxes? Or, more importantly, how willingly do they pay
taxes? And what induces them to do so? Why do more people pay tax voluntarily
than traditional economic models would predict? Do taxpayers comply simply
because of the fear of being caught; or do other factors, such as religious beliefs
or a sense of ‘value for money’ received from government services, play a role?
In spite of taxation being a part of our lives, and of recorded history since
Egyptian times, such issues have rarely been studied.
