Abstract

The present research looks at non-economic elements influencing small and medium-sized businesses' voluntary tax compliance practices in Jordan. The research's findings came from a questionnaire that 328 financial managers and accountants at small and medium enterprises in a few Jordanian regions and towns answered. The study's findings indicate that several factors, including quality of tax service, perspective of fairness of tax system, personal norms, knowledge of tax, social norms, possibility of tax audit and inspection have a substantial impact on small and medium enterprises' voluntary compliance with tax behavior in Jordan. Among the factors the possibility of a tax audit or inspection exerts the greatest impact.
