Abstract

This article aims to investigate the attitudes of youngsters about trust in E-government and how those sentiments relate to their predicted tax attitudes. The majority of earlier research examined the nature and consequences of adult confidence in E-governments, and the perspectives of youngsters are not taken into account in tax compliance studies. In order to verify the components of youngsters attitudes of tax compliance and trust in the E-government, data from 150 youngsters from Bethlehem Governorate using questionnaires. Youngsters between the ages of 18 and 22 were the target demographic. The returned questionnaires were examined and 120 questionnaires were valid for analysis, and the data were analyzed using the Smart PLS program. The results of this study demonstrate that trust in E-government has a positive and statistically significant impact on youngsters’ perceptions of tax compliance. The originality and scientific contribution of this research lie in its focus on youngsters' trust in E-government and its impact on tax compliance, a less-studied area.
