The Saudi Arabian’s vision had uplifted the Saudi economy within a short
time span by adopting different strategic legislation.
One of the main adaptations by the Saudi government that
assess this uplift was through adopting taxation. As a new
legislation it was faced a lot of resistance by the citizen,
which led to tax evasion. The study had conducted through mean
of survey that focused on testing two main hypotheses to see
the relationship between two main groups (morality and understanding)
to tax evasion. As it showed the hypothesis was supported by the data
collected that both the level of morality do plays a massive role in
the perception of tax evasion; moreover, that the level of awareness
the individuals have is low to medium level when it comes to understanding
the tax rules and regulations.
