TÜRKİYE’DE E-BEYANNAME SİSTEMİNİN BENİMSENMESİ: GELİŞTİRİLMİŞ TEKNOLOJİ KABUL MODELİ İLE AMPİRİK BİR ÇALIŞMA

Abstract

Bu makalede, Türkiye’de elektronik beyanname uygulamalarının meslek mensupları tarafından benimsenmesi ve bu benimsemenin arkasındaki nedenler, Genişletilmiş Teknoloji Kabul Modeli E-TAM ile test edilmektedir. Makalede son yıllarda hızla yaygınlaşan verginin elektronik olarak doldurulması uygulaması tanıtılmakta, e-beyanname adı verilen bu uygulamanın benimsenme düzeyi, E-TAM modeli ile test edilmektedir. E-beyanname sistemlerini kullanma konusunda meslek mensuplarının kişisel niyet ve istekleri, anket yöntemiyle belirlenmekte ve sosyal psikolojik teoriler kullanılarak Yapısal Eşitlik Modeli ile ampirik olarak test edilmektedir. Uluslararası literatürde elektronik beyanname uygulamasının benimsenme düzeyi ile ilgili akademik çalışmalar yapılmış olsa bile, Türkçe literatürde şimdiye kadar bu konuda birincil veri kullanılarak yapılmış ampirik bir akademik çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır.
