Miss use of Tax Law and It’s Impact on Social Life: a study in Bangladesh perspective

Abstract

The tax law in Bangladesh serves as a primary source of revenue generation for the government. However, the misuse of tax law, primarily through tax evasion, has a significant impact on social life in the country. This study aims to examine the misuse of tax law in Bangladesh and its impact on social life. The research will be conducted through a mixed-methods approach, including both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. Qualitative data will be gathered through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, such as tax officials, policymakers, and civil society organizations. Additionally, quantitative data will be collected through a survey of taxpayers in Bangladesh. The data collected will be analyzed using content analysis and statistical analysis to identify the extent of tax evasion in Bangladesh and its impact on social life. The study will also explore the underlying reasons behind tax evasion and the effectiveness of the tax administration in addressing the issue. The significance of this study lies in its potential to inform policy decisions on tax administration and enforcement in Bangladesh. The study will also raise awareness among taxpayers about the importance of paying taxes and the negative impact of tax evasion on social life. Ultimately, this study will contribute to the existing literature on the misuse of tax law in developing countries, specifically in Bangladesh.
