and for welfare activities. For this country’s taxation policy, tax administration and its
mechanism seem to be most effective source for mobilizing the internal resources of the country.
The objective of the tax system is to make funds available for development activities.
Developing countries had several challenges in collecting of tax. The government fiscal policy
plays a vital role in increasing the rate of capital formation, resource mobilization, price stability,
and reduction in economic inequities and promotes the employment opportunity. This in turn
helps to achieve high rate of economic growth, tax policy being one of the major instruments of
fiscal policy. The main objectives are to collect the revenue and other objectives to mobilize
funds for economic development, establish of welfare state, and promote the equal distribution
system of income, production and consumption, creation of favorable environment for
employment, investment and control of illegal production and consumption. These are the main
determinants of economy. So, it is justifiable to conclude that taxation is the backbone of
countries economy.
Taxation is the most effective and popular tools reserved in the hand of government of a country.
The major objective of taxation is to make fund available for economic stability. It also helps to
equal distribution national income of the country.
Generally tax is classified into two types on the basis of tax payer's burden direct and indirect
tax. The impact or the money burden and the incidence are on the one and the same person id
direct tax like income tax, property tax, vehicle tax etc. it play a vital role as compared to indirect
tax. An indirect tax is a form of tax imposed on one person but partially or wholly paid by
another like VAT, excise duty, import Export duty etc.
In general, tax can be defined as a levy or other type of financial charge or fee imposed by state
or central government on legal entities or individuals. It is a compulsory levy from individuals,
households and firms to central or local government. It is a kind of money of which it is the legal
duty of every citizen of the country to pay honestly. It may be levied on income, property and

entitled to compel the government, while paying taxes, to give something to him in return of the
amount he has paid.

CHAPTER TWO: REVIEW OF LITERATURE.
Researcher has gone through different literatures including books, expert articles, some study
reports, web publications of source in Nepal or some other countries to frame study criteria.
Methodologies used and principles, findings and recommendations provided by these studies will
be presented to the extent researcher gets information in this regard. While reviewing the books
it is found that most of books are syllabus oriented. Some of these are extremely based on
campus syllabus and some are based on organizational need. These are now categorically
presented.
Shidaei (2012) research titled "identify factors affecting the acceptance of the electronic system
to receive tax returns using planned behavior theory". The study Using Path analysis statistical
model methodology results show that the factors affecting the acceptance of the electronic
system to receive tax re-turns include: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, the impact of
environment and facilitative conditions.
Maleki (2011) published a journal entitled "Investigating the impact of effective factors on
acceptance one application of information technology in electronic tax service by its taxpayers,
according to the Davis' model" results of this study shows that acceptance of e- tax service by
the tax with variables including ease of use of the internet services , usefulness of using the
internet system, access to the technological facilities and - demographic features of taxpayers
having a positive and direct relationship and having an inverse relationship with risk of using
Internet system .
Skandari (2011) research article titled "design and providing a model to accept the tax e-
statements." In this study we found out that the more easier to use the Internet sys-tem, the more
taxpayers are willing to accept more electronic services, that is there is a positive and direct
relation-ship between these two factors, these results are also gained for other independent
variables: whatever the use of the system for its taxpayers will be more beneficial there should be
more technological facilities, so that taxpayers know them more. Also by taking into account the
3
general manner of demographic characteristics of acceptance the e-tax Service is more
electronic, that is there is a direct and positive relationship between the variables .Another point
says that the less risk of using e-tax services for the tax-payers, the more they are eager to use it,
namely, there is an inverse relation-ship between dependent and independent variables.
CheAzmi (2010) research article titled " The Acceptance of the e-Filing System by Malaysian
Taxpayers: A Simplified Model" This study is a model consisting of three constructs including
perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and perceived risk. The proposed model used by the
researchers is a simpler model in comparison with other studies in forming e-filing. Exploratory-
factorial analysis indicates that the model is good enough. Based on the data collected from 166
respondents, the results showed that the proposed model explained up to 61% of the variance in
behavioral intention. All of the variables significantly influence behavioral intention. The
perceived risk construct has a negative association with the perceived usefulness construct.
Ching (2010) The research study "Impact of quality antecedents on taxpayer satisfaction with
online tax-filing systems" Records of taxpayer's satisfaction quality of tax system on Online tax-
filing system quality encompasses information, system, and service qualities, which are the
antecedents of user satisfaction with any system. To measure online tax-filing system quality, a
second-order measurement model was tested using higher-order confirmatory factor analysis. In
addition, the Information and quality factors of service quality system in the measurement of
taxpayer’s satisfaction were more important than the system outputs and processing capability.
Ramayah (2012), The research article titled "Continued Usage Intention of E-Filing System in
Malaysia: The Role of Optimism Bias" in this study is about an estimate of risk by the taxpayer
through determining the extent of optimistic bias when doing e-filing system, in Malaysia
taxpayers, which pays attention to create awareness among taxpayers about the levels of concern
that they have regarding violation of privacy and security.
Kayastha (1993) The article in "Rajsawa" entitled "Problems and Prospect of Resources
Mobilization through Direct Taxation in Nepal" In this article he has shown that Nepalese tax
structure has heavily relied upon indirect taxes and non-tax revenues with the growth in
