Abstract

Tax evasion, one of the most common crimes in the world. There are so many cases of tax evasion that are not known by the public, in fact there are many cases of tax evasion that are closed and only revealed a few years later. This is also happened in Indonesia. Without exception, Indonesia is also one of the countries with the most tax evasion practices. To examine which sector that affect the practice the most, this problem needs to be studied further. This research aims to study the effect of the economic variable, demographic variable, and legal and institutional variable on tax evasion practice especially in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. This research uses the multiple regression analysis as its research method. Questionnaire was used for the data collection where the questionnaire succeeded to obtain 120 respondents as research population, then 100 sample gained after screening process. The result of this research is that the economic variable and the legal and institutional variable has a positive effect on tax evasion practice and the demographic variable has a negative effect on tax evasion practice.
