AbstractThough tax amnesties (TAs) are considered as a policy tool to increase revenue for governments, they have generated some puzzles. To solve the puzzles of TA we should not ignore the behavioural aspects of delinquent taxpayers. In this paper, we focus on a relatively neglected but important area of the TA literature. Considering that people who participate in tax amnesty policy (TAP) may not honestly report the whole amounts of evaded tax, thus they commit a secondary tax evasion. We indicate that even considering the risk of abstaining from TA and incurring possible uncertainty of tax evasion penalties, participating in a TA provides a higher level of utility for the delinquent taxpayers. Also, due to a secondary tax evasion usually accompanying with TA, we show that during the initial assessment period of a TAP the tax revenue drastically increases and when the assessment period is approaching the tax revenue stably declines and ultimately converges to a fixed value. Furthermore, we show that if delinquent taxpayers participate in the TAP and the penalties are larger than the expected tax revenue of the government, it increases the tax revenue without reducing the welfare of other taxpayers, so as to achieving Pareto improvement.

Income from the tax sector is generally the main income for all countries in the world in order to finance its activities. Increased revenue from the tax sector is often hampered, due to the large tax evasion and tax avoidance activities. Tax evasion and tax avoidance practices are triggered by the practice of low tax rates and other facilities provided by the tax heaven countries. In order to combat tax evasion and tax avoidance, the approach taken by each country is different. But basically approach done can be distinguished on soft apporach and hard approach. One approach that is classified as a soft approach is a tax amnesty program. In 2016 the Government of Indonesia is implementing a tax amnesty program based on Law Number 11 of 2016 concerning Tax Amnesty applied from 1 July 2016 to 31 March 2017. This paper will evaluate the successful implementation of the tax amnesty program that has been implemented in Indonesia. Evaluation is based on the achievement of 3 objectives, namely the repatriation of assets from abroad, expansion of the tax base and increase in tax revenue for the short and long term. From the point of asset repatriation, the tax amnesty program is considered quite successful, because although the target of asset repatriation is not achieved, but the asset repatriation has reached 30.54% of the estimated financial assets abroad. From the point of view of the expansion of the tax base, the number of declarations and repatriation reaches Rp. 4,737.56 trillion has exceeded the target. Meanwhile, from the point of view of increasing short-term tax revenues, the objective of the amnesty program can be considered quite successful, because it contributes 10.15% to the average amount of tax revenue in 2016 and 2017, although it has not been able to raise the growth rate of overall tax revenue for the year 2016 and 2017. Increased tax revenues for the long term can not be evaluated, because the tax amnesty program was completed 1 year ago.

Why are some people more willing to pay their taxes than others? In some countries the government is able to collect more than 90% of the taxes it is owed, while in other countries more than 30% of tax revenue goes missing due to tax evasion. This book explores this question by examining the fiscal history of five different democratic nations: Sweden, Britain, Italy, the United States, and Romania. This chapter introduces the book and draws out the central themes introduced in the substantive chapters. Drawing on these rich historical chapters, the introduction shows that successful states have developed strong administrative capacities, treat all taxpayers fairly, and deliver value for the monies they collect. This chapter argues that differences in tax compliance across countries is not explained by different political cultures, but is instead explained by differences in the efficacy of state institutions and the ways they have interacted with their citizens.

Tax amnesty program is one instrument that is used widely by the tax authorities  in many countries in order to increase tax revenue, broaden the tax base, improve tax compliance and other purposes. In addition to having a large role in increasing tax revenue, tax amnesty program also may be adversely affected as opposed to the benefits generated. Not all countries implement tax amnesty program success in implementing it. Experiences in the tax amnesty implementation in several countries showed that the program of tax amnesty are carried out several times and the implementation time was easily anticipated by the taxpayer generally not as successful if the program of tax amnesty is only a one-time, non-recurring and can not be anticipated time of its implementation by the taxpayer. In 2016 the Government of Indonesia to implement tax amnesty program that will be implemented starting on July 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017. After going through the analysis based on the experience of implementation of tax amnesty program conducted by several other countries can be predicted that the tax amnesty program implemented by the Government of Indonesia will be a success. Tax amnesty program implemented is estimated to have a great opportunity to meet the expectations of increasing tax revenue, broaden the tax base, improve tax compliance significantly. However, for the hope of repatriation of assets of the taxpayer from abroad into the country seems not to be able to meet expectations.

State Revenues

On July 1, 2016, the Government established Law No. 11 of 2016 concerning Tax Amnesty. This law has been postponed several times, after tough discussions in the House of Representative (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat – DPR) since 2015. The failure to achieve tax revenues over the past few years has triggered the enactment of this law. The government sees that tax revenues are still low due to a lack of public awareness in reporting taxes, even though the government in the last few years has relied heavily on state revenues from the results of tax revenues. The World Bank notes that Indonesia's tax ratio in 2014 was only 10.84% ​​of Gross Domestic Income, while the average tax ratio of countries in the world was 14.81%. So the level of tax collectibility in Indonesia is still very small, so it is quite heavy in supporting state spending. The purpose of this study was to find out the benefits of tax amnesty as an effort to stimulate national income, to find out the magnitude of the tax amnesty contribution in increasing state revenues, and analyze the influence of several factors in increasing tax revenue after tax amnesty. The implementation of tax amnesty that ended at the end of March 2017 was quite good. The results showed that the number of taxpayers participating in the tax amnesty were 974,058, the amount was still small compared to the potential tax in the country. The amount of state revenue from the Tax amnesty is 107 trillion from 1,104.9 total realized tax revenues in 2016. An important point that must be done immediately after the tax amnesty is the administration update related to data and information management with an integrated IT system with all stakeholders, coordination of tax law enforcement through examination, and institutional transformation.

Taxpayer behaviour has in South Africa moved to the forefront of the investigation of revenue collection with regular tax awareness campaigns being launched by the South African Revenue Service (SARS). Issues relating to tax amnesty and the contribution of the informal sector (second economy) to tax revenue have become important. This paper attempts to find explanations, be they economic or psychological, for taxpayer behaviour in South Africa. Factors influencing tax evasion and ultimately collection targets are thus examined. A questionnaire was designed to determine how individuals, in this case a sample of students, respond when filing taxes. Each question frames a scenario to invoke a specific tax regime. The paper’s unique findings show, generally, that behaviour is to a large extent determined by economic factors, specifically inequality as predicted by the expected utility theory. This theory also successfully predicts 50 per cent of the responses to the control questions. The remaining 50 per cent are explained by combined economic and psychological factors, modelled by the prospect theory. This is significant considering the fact that the results were generated within a developing and not a developed context as is the case in most studies of this type.
