The objective of this study is to investigate if the demographic characteristics of Malaysian taxpayers have an impact on their inclination to engage in tax evasion. By employing a quantitative research approach, we gathered primary data by means of a well-organized electronic survey. This survey was circulated to employed individual taxpayers through several online social media channels, such as email and messaging apps, in order to assure a diverse pool of respondents.   The findings emphasize the importance of demographic factors in influencing the tax evasion behaviors of Malaysian taxpayers. They provide a realistic assessment of the impact of these factors on policy decisions, including the need for measures to reduce tax evasion tendencies.
