Title:Tax Morale and Tax Evasion in Latin America 
Abstract:In this paper we examine taxation and tax compliance in LAC countries and beyond, focusing on several main questions. What is meant by the “informal sector”? What is the size of informal sector in LAC countries? What are some effects from an informal sector, including the size of the “fiscal gap”? What are the reasons for this fiscal gap? What can be done to address these various issues? We begin with an overview of the tax systems of LAC countries.
