The data in this qualitativeresearch were collected through literature study and in-depth interview. In addition there is a comparison withMalaysia in terms of tax rights and obligations for married women taxpayers who fulfill their tax rights andobligations by themselves. The result of the research shows that there is limitation on the right of the marriedwomen to fulfill their tax rights and obligations by themselves, i.e. there is a restriction for the fulfillment of thetax rights of a married woman who becomes the head of the family. More over, in practice, the rule concerningthe married women taxpayers who have to fulfill their income tax by themselves still sets problems for both thetaxpayers and tax-officers. Therefore we need a socialization process in order to make known the stipulationsconcerning married women who have to fulfill their tax rights and obligations by themselves. |
