Items related to Making People Pay: The Economic Sociology of Taxation
Can a complex subject like tax compliance be handled in such a simple manner? Sibichen K Mathew is successful in presenting his in-depth study on what makes people pay taxes or what prevents them from paying in a very interesting style. The Author takes us through the history, the economics and the politics of taxation to dissect the interconnected issues related to tax evasion and tax enforcement. He forcefully argues that the economic models are unable to fully explain the behaviour of taxpayers. For, if the tax laws are complex, the human mind is much more complex to yield to the economic models. His arguments are supported by data on attitudes, perceptions and experience of taxpayers, many of whom declare themselves to be tax evaders. The author also analyzes the sociological and economic causes and consequences of tax evasion and tax enforcement in the global context. The author has also briefly referred to the tax challenges thrown up by the integrated world economy. The solution offered is scaling up of international cooperation on a significant scale. The insights gained from these incisive analyses have enormous implications for policy makers as well as tax administrators all over the world. The taxpayers, tax practitioners and the students of social sciences would also find this book enriching.

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - I have enjoyed reading this book. This is a wide-ranging, scholarly, yet very readable volume focused on intriguing question of why (or why not) people pay taxes. Mathews focus of the research includes experiences drawn from other times and many countries thus making clear that the tendency of trying to evade the tax collector is universal in time and space. Anyone interested in direct taxation, particularly income taxation in developing countries, is likely to find this work highly valuable. -Larry Schroeder Professor of Public Administration Maxwell School of Public Policy, Syracuse University, New York The eminently readable Making People Pay by Sibichen Mathew is a great intellectual effort. I must congratulate him for this scholarly work. It has its own wry humor of the tax-man. The book amply rewards the reader. -M.N. Venkatachaliah Former Chief Justice of India Very innovative approach. Easily comprehensible presentation of the subject. Very useful book for any one who is interested to know about the sociology of public finance. -Shyamal Roy Professor of Economics and Social Sciences Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore This book stands out for its contents that delve on aspects that are not captured in any other tax literature so far. A methodical approach and systematic study appears to have culminated into this book. The book is unique in its style and presentation. This book provides valuable insights for researchers, policy makers, enforcers, professionals and taxpayers. -T N Manoharan (Past President, Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and Winner of the Business Leadership Award from NDTV-Profit) The author has given a very objective presentation of the entire gamut of tax evasion and tax enforcement with a global perspective. Book is rich in both theoretical analysis and empirical back up. Innovative approach and methodology. -TK Oommen Professor Emeritus, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi and recipient of Padma Bhushan Past President International Sociological Association.
