Abstract – The Urgency of Differentiating Tax Policy Based on Compliance Risk
Main Purpose - This study seeks to identify taxpayers who have the same attitude towards complying.
Method – This study uses the k-means clustering method to group data into several clusters with a maximum similarity and a minimum similarity. Several taxpayers were sampled in this study.
Main Findings – This study resulted in five groups of taxpayers, namely rational tax compliance, commitment, situational, aggressive, and passive. This grouping results in a better understanding of the behavior of taxpayers. In addition, this grouping results in different taxation policies by tax authorities.
Theory and Practical Implications – This study provides empirical facts on the existence of taxpayers ranging from obedient to non-compliant. Tax authorities can use these findings to determine differentiation in implementing tax policies.
Novelty – The cluster approach provides a better understanding of compliance behavior.
