List of informality and tax evasion of merchants in a food market in the City of Camaná
Abstract
The purpose of the research work is to determine the relationship between informality and tax evasion in a food market in the city of Camaná. For its analysis, a descriptive methodology with a quantitative approach and a non-experimental design and a case study strategy was used, having a sample of 150 merchants, to whom a survey on informality and tax evasion was applied. The results showed that 99% of merchants are informal, leading to an increase in tax evasion, which was corroborated by a Spearman Rho compression of 0.52 and a p value of 0.001. In other words, we can maintain that tax costs, bureaucratic barriers, regulation of the workforce and tax awareness influence tax evasion and therefore low tax collection in that sector of the country.
