چکیده:
Financial corruption, or the abuse of public power for private gain, is an event that has attracted much attention from people around the world in recent years, especially since the 1990s. This phenomenon has various cultural, social, political, legal, and economic factors. The aim of the present article is to examine the impact of financial corruption on tax revenues in some developing countries. In this regard, using composite corruption indices including the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) and the Control of Corruption Index (CCI), two models were estimated using a panel data approach for 27 countries over the five-year period 2002-2006. The results of this research indicate a positive and significant effect of the two financial corruption indices on the ratio of tax revenue to Gross Domestic Product (TAX/GDP). In other words, with an increase in corruption indices (a decrease in the level of corruption), the tax revenue ratio also increases. Therefore, in order to reduce corruption in the selected countries, reforms in the tax structure should be considered to improve the tax systems of these countries.
