Trust, Corruption, and Sustainable Development are Interconnected Issues in Public’s Attitude Towards Tax

Accountants remain the most trusted players in tax according to the ACCA, IFAC, and CA ANZ biennial global survey.

The Public Trust in Tax survey which questioned 7,700 members of the public across the globe shows that accountants have a major role to play in addressing corruption, which negatively impacts attitudes towards tax in economies worldwide.

Fazeela Gopalani, Head of ACCA Middle East

In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), the survey revealed some compelling insights:

  • Respondents from KSA exhibit a high level of trust in politicians and tax authorities, second only to China.
  • KSA shows similar levels of trust in business leaders, professional tax lawyers, and NGOs.
  • The media and social media are trusted sources in KSA, with only Indonesia and China showing higher trust levels.
  • KSA respondents found the process of filing taxes easy and efficient, and the overall system fair, with only Indonesia and China being more positive.
  • A significant majority of KSA respondents believe it is appropriate for all groups to arrange their affairs to minimise tax.
  • Taxes paid by all groups were viewed as significant contributors to providing services.
  • An overwhelming majority support the government providing incentives for various sectors, especially those hit by COVID-19, infrastructure projects, and green energy projects.
