Revenue Law Journal: The impact of tax professionals upon the compliance behavior of Australian individual taxpayers

Description of Use This study offers qualitative, self-reported data and aims to fill a research gap by exploring the potential relationship between the advice given by tax professionals and the tax compliance behavior of Australian individual taxpayers.Table 4 highlights that the primary reasons tax evaders use tax agents are the complexity of the tax system (38%) and the desire to legally minimize their tax liabilities (33.99%). Fear of making a mistake also plays a role, albeit to a lesser extent (22%),Similarly, for non-evaders, the main reasons for using a tax agent were the complexity of the tax system (35%) and tax minimization (33%), with return accuracy also being a significant factor. Given the intricate nature of the Australian tax system, both evaders and non-evaders showed a strong inclination towards filing accurate returns and were concerned about making errors.

Data Set

Mitchell Institute & Victoria University, 'Educational Opportunity in Australia', 2020

Description of Use The ‘Framework of indicators for measuring how well Australia’s education and training systems are achieving the national goals for education’ shows up to a 23.8-34.6% difference in individuals being ‘active and informed’, between individuals in early adulthood coming from a low socioeconomic background (33.2% & 38.1%, respectively), in comparison to their counterparts who come from a high socioeconomic background (66.8% & 61.9%, respectively). This data was used to inform the project solution, as it demonstrates the correlation that low socioeconomic status (SES) has to lower informedness of public and world systems. This may be attributable to other factors which correlate with populations of lower SES, such as lower education, financial security and greater remoteness.

Australian Digital Inclusion Index: 'Breaking the Inequality Cycle – Examining Affordability Barriers to Digital Inclusion'

Description of Use Since 2014, the Australian Digital Inclusion Index has assessed the affordability of internet services across the Australian population. The findings indicate that individuals experiencing social and economic disadvantage consistently encounter affordability barriers to digital inclusion. Provides qualitative, self-reported data. Table 1: 'Groups where at least half would have to pay more than 5% of their household income to maintain quality, reliable connectivity' in conjunction with Figure 2: 'How often respondents had to sacrifice or cut back on essential household costs (eg. food or bills) to be able to afford personal or household internet access in the past six months, by income quintile,' outlines the impact of internet costs on access and use, highlighting disparities among different demographic groups and regions. It emphasises that lower-income households and First Nations and unemployed populations are more likely to face affordability stress and sacrifice essentials for internet access. The study also notes the various strategies people employ to manage their connectivity and data use in the face of financial constraints. This data was used to demonstrate a consumer need for a digital solution which is accessible in areas/for individuals with low internet connection.
