Key Findings
Full Description

The thesis analyzes the obstacles to the proper application of the laws governing tax audits in Cap-Haïtien, assesses the precarious position of taxpayers and the respect of their rights, and proposes solutions. It uses a quantitative survey with a questionnaire, processed in Excel and presented in tables and graphs.

The survey covers 115 people: 95 taxpayers, 10 accountants and 10 inspectors of the North Departmental Tax Directorate. The results show that tax audits harm taxpayers in Cap-Haïtien, and confirm the hypotheses of ignorance of tax rules by some taxpayers, a complex tax system and insufficient tax education of taxpayers.
