Tax evasion is a big issue in Sri Lanka, affecting government projects and expenses. A study looked at how Sri Lankans view tax evasion ethically. They surveyed 50 tax payers and 50 non-tax payers to see their opinions. The strongest argument against tax evasion was that it's okay if everyone does it. The strongest argument in favor was that it's okay if the money benefits the tax payer. This information can help the government improve tax collection in Sri Lanka.
