Critical Examination of the Impact of E-Government on the Income Tax Collections: A Case Study in the Income and Sales Tax Department of Jordan

Open access
This research addressed the effectiveness of applying e-Government in the Income and Sales Tax Department (ISTD) in Jordan. The ISTD was chosen since it is one of the first to implement the e-Government. A questionnaire was designed and distributed to a random sample of ISTD managers, department heads, and directors. Statistical analysis and testing of hypothesis conducted. Results showed that a statistical relationship does exist between the effectiveness of the application of e-Government on factors such as: speed and accuracy, monitoring and control, and ease and simplicity of governmental performance.
