Abstract
El presente documento utiliza metodología experimental de campo para investigar el comportamiento de los contribuyentes en el tema de la evasión fiscal en Bolivia. Para tal efecto, se realizan cambios en la estructura de los incentivos a tributar, en las variables ingreso, probabilidad de fiscalización y variaciones en la alícuota impositiva. Los resultados del experimento indican que un factor importante relacionado al comportamiento de la evasión impositiva es la aversión al riesgo, y que el factor más determinante al momento de pagar impuestos es el ingreso de las personas: a mayor ingreso, mayor cumplimiento tributario. También se encontró que a mayor probabilidad de ser fiscalizadas, y más posibilidades de mayores multas, aumenta el cumplimiento en el pago de los impuestos por parte de las personas.
This document uses experimental field methodology to investigate the behavior of taxpayers on the issue of tax evasion. The aim of making changes in the structure of incentives, such as income, the probability of inspection and variations in the tax rate, is to evaluate the behavior of economic agents when these changes are made. The experiment results indicate that an important factor is the risk aversion in the adoption of tax evasion behavior and the determining factor when paying taxes is the income of individuals: the higher the income, the greater tax compliance. We also found that greater chances of being audited and higher fines, increases compliance in paying taxes.
