“…This study refers to tax fairness as the distribution of sales tax registration threshold and sales tax penalties in a fair manner by the tax authority, with fair cost falling on the registered sales tax. A positive relationship was established between tax fairness and tax compliance behavior by some prior studies (e.g., Fochmann & Kroll, 2015;McKerchar, Bloomquist, & Pope, 2013;Kirchler & Wahl, 2010;Feld & Frey, 2007), others reported no relationship (e.g., Benk, Ç akmak & Budak, 2011), while some others like Sinnasamy, Bidin and Syed-Ismail (2015) reported mixed results. In the sales tax context, literature also showed a positive tax fairness-sales tax compliance association (Woodward & Tan, 2015;Adams & Webley, 2001).…”
