Centre for Economic Performance Press Release:
Give taxpayers a voice: New experimental research shows how to make people feel better about paying taxes and cheat less

29 May 2014

Research by Professors Cait Lamberton, Jan-Emmanuel De Neve and Michael Norton suggests that the annual tax filing process offers an unexploited opportunity for governments to engage with taxpayers - and one that could be a low-cost way to help address the estimated annual UK 'tax gap' of £42 billion due to non-compliance.
