Technology, Taxation, and Corruption: Evidence from the Introduction of Electronic Tax Filing

چکیده

Many e-government initiatives introduce technology to improve efficiency and avoid potential human bias. Using experimental variation, we examine the impact of electronic tax filing (to replace in-person submission officials) using data from Tajikistan firms. E-filing reduces time firms spend on taxes by 40 percent. Further, among previously more likely evade, e-filing doubles paid. Conversely, evidence suggests that payments less evade. These also pay fewer bribes, as extortion opportunities. patterns are consistent with differential treatment officials prior e-filing. (JEL D22, H25, H26, O14, O23)
