Abstract | The way that taxpayers interact with a tax system is complicated to understand. There is some evidence that the way taxpayers perceive the tax system can influence the way they interact with it. This is particularly important for small business owners (‘SBOs’), as they can be central to the operation of their business. This article considers the perception of SBOs in relation to usefulness of their business records and financial statements and examines whether there is a relationship with the SBO’s literacy in terms of business tax, financial statements, computer accounting software (‘CAS’) and their overall literacy. While there seems to be little relationship between perceptions and literacy, of all the literacies considered CAS literacy was at times the most significant. |
