The Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach is used to test the hypotheses developed in this study. SmartPLS software is used for this study.This study reveals four important findings: (1) tax fairness has a significant positive effect on tax compliance, (2) tax fairness has a significant positive effect on trust, (3) trust has a significant positive effect on tax compliance, (4) trust mediates the relationship between tax fairness and tax compliance.This research not only has implications on practice but also to the literature concerning the effect of tax fairness and truston tax compliance.
