VERGİ AHLAKININ TEORİK ÇERÇEVESİ

Öz

Vergi, çoğunlukla yükümlüler tarafından hoş karşılanmamakta ve vergi kaçakçılığı gibi pek çok istenmeyen davranış ortaya çıkmaktadır. Yükümlülerin vergiye karşı olan davranışlarını belirleyen faktörlerden biri olan vergi ahlakı, vergi ödeme konusundaki içsel bir motivasyon olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Vergi ahlakı, vergi uyumu ile yakın ilişki içinde bulunan bir kavramdır. Vergi uyumu ve dolayısıyla vergi ahlakı ile ilişkili pek çok sosyal ve psikolojik unsurlar bulunmakta ve bu unsurlar vergi ahlakını şekillendirmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı vergi ahlakı kavramını ve vergi ahlakı ile ilişkili unsurları açıklamaktır. Bu kapsamda vergi ahlakı ile ilişkili olarak sosyal normlar, suçluluk ve utanç duygusu, görev ve korku duygusu, içsel motivasyon ve yükümlülerin adalet algısı, vergi yükümlüsü ve kamu otoritesi ilişkisi gibi sosyal ve psikolojik unsurlar ayrıntılı bir biçimde incelenmektedir.
