Tax professionals' profiles concerning tax


noncompliance and tax complexity: Empirical


contributions from Portugal





Ana Clara Borrego,1 Ciddlia Maria Mota Lopes2 and Carlos Manuel Ferreira3






Abstract
This paper analyses the profiles of tax professionals with the greatest propensity for tax noncompliant behaviour. Data were
collected in 2013 using a questionnaire applied to Portuguese tax professionals. From the profiles we argue that the propensity
for noncompliance is greater among professionals responsible for medium-sized enterprises in contexts of high tax complexity.
In particular, in terms of voluntary tax noncompliance, we noted greater vulnerability to the pressures exerted by
employers/clients for participation in aggressive tax planning schemes among young women, as well as professionals working
in in-house departments of accounting and taxation.
