ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to look at how individual taxpayers in Zanzibar feel about paying stamp duty. The study’s underlying idea was the theory of planned conduct. The research included 52 individual taxpayers, as well as two staff from the Zanzibar Revenue Board (ZRB). The link between knowledge, peer influence, perceived behavioral control, and behavioral intention to comply with stamp duty was investigated using interview methods. The findings demonstrated that behavioral intention was strongly and positively connected to knowledge and perceived behavioral control factors, whereas peer influence had a small but significant impact on behavioral intention. It is suggested that efforts be directed toward raising awareness of the necessity for governments to use taxes to assist them to grow their treasuries for public services.
