The article explores why people in Bangladesh avoid paying taxes. The researchers used surveys and data from various sources to study how social networks influence tax evasion. They found that being part of a social network makes it more likely for others to also avoid taxes. This shows that people's decisions about taxes are influenced by those around them. The study also revealed that a combination of factors like complex tax laws, lack of public involvement in policy-making, and political motivations contribute to high levels of tax evasion in Bangladesh.
