An Efficiency Analysis of Value Added Tax Collection of Area Revenue Offices in the Central Region Provinces
Main Article Content
Abstract
The objective of this research is to study the factors affecting the collection of value- added tax revenue and the efficiency of value-added tax revenue collection by provincial revenue offices in the central region of 22 provinces. The study uses data on geographic and economic conditions for the years 2010 to 2019, including value-added tax revenue from the Department of Revenue and provincial gross domestic product data from the National Economic and Social Development Board, totaling 220 observations. The data's stability is tested by Levin, Lin and Chu (LLC) method, and the data are analyzed using multiple regression models and estimated coefficients using the least squares method.
Findings showed that the study of factors affecting the value added tax collection found the following. The gross provincial product of the industrial sector and the service sector exhibited a direct correlation at the statistically significant level of reliability at 99 percent. The gross provincial product of the agricultural sector inversely correlated with value added tax income at the statistically significant level of reliability at 95 percent. It was also found that the effort index in value added tax collection of the central region provinces exhibited the mean of 3.98, greater than 1. This showed that the efficiency in the value added tax income was at a higher level than the criteria. The province with the highest efficiency in the value added tax collection was Pathum Thani province. The effort index in the value added tax collection was 6.90.
