Higher education institutions contribute to the development of local economies. Universities advance society by promoting the development of human capital and stimulating the economy. Türkiye has 210 higher education institutions, comprised of 129 state institutions, 77 foundations, and four foundation vocational schools. According to theory, universities have direct, indirect, and induced effects on local revenue and employment. What institutions spend on their workers demonstrates their direct impact on income, while their employment levels demonstrate their direct impact on employment. Revenue may be indirectly affected by non-personnel and student costs that come from the university’s budget and associated working capital. The service level per employee is used to achieve indirect employment benefits. and is calculated by dividing the contributions from the service sector to the gross domestic product by the number of employees in the service industry. To calculate the indirect employment effect, divide the indirect income impact by the service output per person. Universities stimulate the local economies where they are located. The stimulus effect involves the construction of a bigger influence via the multiplier effect, depending on the university’s direct and indirect revenue impacts on the local economy. Kırklareli is a province in the Marmara Region and is estimated to have had a GDP of 25 billion TL in 2020 and a per capita income of 67,970 TL. The industrial sector produces 47% of the province’s national income, while the service sector contributes 40%. Thus, the industrial and service sectors continue to influence the city’s expansion. 12 faculties, one conservatory, one college, seven vocational high schools, and 15 application and research centers will comprise Kırklareli University in 2021. In the academic literature, numerous studies have examined the economic contributions from these types of institutions in various provinces, as well as universities’ contributions to local economies. The effect of universities on local economies has been judged to be too significant to ignore. The current study assesses the direct and indirect consequences of Kırklareli University’s 2007 founding on the Kırklareli economy. The objective of this study is to assess the total expenditures Kırklareli University makes, the costs higher education students incur, and the full economic value of all employed personnel. Student expenditures need to be determined in order to display the indirect effect of revenue in its totality. In this context, a survey of 393 students was conducted to assess the cost of attending Kırklareli University. The recommendation has been made that educational expenses should be allocated differently. Information about the types of housing (e.g., rent, dormitory, homestay) during university education, region where the family resides, family&nbsp;income level, occupation and education status of the head of the family, total number of family members, and number of employees are required to reveal students’ demographic profiles. To identify spending, information on housing expenses, food expenditures, education, clothing, energy, sports and cultural activities, personal care, communication, and health costs are also grouped together. According to the collected data, monthly student expenditures average 3,144 TL. Housing, food, and clothing costs make up the greatest share of overall expenditures, in that order. On average, students reported residing in the city for nine months. The effect of student expenditures on the city’s economy is around 650 million TL in this context. Kırklareli University employed a total of 1,299 people as of 2022, consisting of 827 academicians, 296 administrative personnel, and 176 employees. Around 130 million TL of the university’s budget are allocated for personnel expenditures. Based on these figures, Kırklareli University has a direct revenue impact of 130 million TL in terms of personnel expenditures and a direct employment impact of 1,299 people. The indirect employment effect is calculated using the number of service sector employees, the service sector’s contribution to the local income, and the service production value per person. According to the relevant data, Kırklareli University’s budget has an indirect impact on the employment of 542 employees. The indirect employment impact from student fees comparably affects 5,015 individuals, with a consequent total of 5,563 indirect employment impacts in total. As part of Kırklareli University’s indirect revenue contribution to the city, non-personnel expenses total around 70 million TL. In addition to the non-personnel expenditures made from the university’s budget, the indirect revenue impact includes non-personnel expenditures and student expenditures made by circulating the capital enterprises. The entire indirect and direct revenue impact comes to 820 million TL. In addition to direct and indirect advantages, the study has revealed an increase in employment of 20,622 and a rise in revenue of 2,673,830,832 TL. The total adjusted income impact accounts for around 10% of the province’s gross domestic product. Thus, Kırklareli University’s impact on the local economy up to 2022 has been calculated this way. Based on its own budget expenditures, student spending, and number of jobs it supports, Kırklareli University is a considerable contributor to the local economy.

A society’s food security refers to its capacity to provide all its citizens with sufficient food to function efficiently and carry out other normal daily activities. Countries that cannot provide a sufficient food supply due to global warming, climate change, and environmental pollution and that has a low import capacity may see their food security suffer. When considering the risk factors in the global food supply, one can also argued importing as a method to be neither easy nor cheap. Moreover, when evaluating food security holistically, global warming, climate change, and environmental pollution problems are seen to be able to negatively affect the entire planet, from the polar circles to the Himalayas and countries in the temperate and equatorial zones. While some countries may encounter problems such as high temperatures and drought, other countries may experience irregular and excessive precipitation regimes. Various organisms that are able to harm agricultural production can also be seen to be able to multiply uncontrollably. For these reasons, the decreasing yield loss in both agriculture and animal husbandry requires policies be prioritized based on imports. However, one can also argue these policies to already be unsustainable. Even though international tax proposals for combatting global environmental problems such as global warming and climate change have been mentioned, no example of an international environmental tax can be found today, the most important reason for this being the difficulty assumed in transferring a taxation authority that is to be accepted as part of the sovereignty of world states to a higher organization. Therefore, the suggestions international organizations, especially the United Nations, have offered in the fields of global warming and climate change can gain weight. Disseminating agriculturally produced products suitable for new climatic conditions and breeding animal breeds so that they can adapt to the geographical region can be discussed at the national scale in this context. In order to realize all these, governments are recommended to turn to effective agricultural policies within the framework of international cooperation. However, the issue that needs to be carefully considered is the localization capability advisory policies have. This study socioeconomically examines and investigates tax facilities for the agricultural sector in Türkiye in the context of food security. After examining the relationship between tax expenditures and GDP in terms of functionality in the Turkish Tax System, the study&nbsp;evaluates the tax benefits for the agricultural sector as specifically addressed in Income Tax Law No. 193 and Value Added Tax Law No. 3065 in this context by taking into account animal and plant production statistics. The study then discusses possible solutions for the development of agriculture and animal husbandry in Türkiye in line with the determinations that have been made. The limited contribution of subsidies and various monetary incentives to agricultural production, along with tax relief can be mentioned in this context for the agricultural sector in Türkiye. When considering the climate, pasture availability, and grass productivity in terms of the livestock sector, the study can also suggest focusing on policies for the development of small cattle breeding in Türkiye in order to reduce dependence on imported feed. The study is also able to discuss how to prioritize products suitable for regional climatic conditions and precipitation regimes with regard to agricultural production.&nbsp;

Fiscal restructuring, or tax amnesties in a narrower framework, aim to completely or partially eliminate the actions or inactions of economic actors by overturning fiscal legislation through legal regulations. These regulations can contribute to the functioning of the economic system, as well as play important roles in increasing efficiency regarding taxation. The main reason for this is that economic actors or activities that have been unregistered for various reasons can be reintegrated into the financial system through amnesties. Ultimately, this situation is considered a last chance for taxpayers to remove the sanctions the administration has determined. Fiscal amnesties can also be used to make up for a loss of welfare in extreme situations like natural disasters, epidemics, or economic crises. This makes things easier for economic actors and even cuts down on the growing amount of work the government has to do. Fiscal amnesties also have serious negative effects, especially on the tax system. Preliminary studies in the literature have revealed repeated tax amnesties to reduce economic actors’ tax compliance (Stella, 1991; Luitel ve Sobel, 2007; Luitel, 2007; Le Borgne, 2006; Alm, MartinezVazquez ve Wallace, 2009; Luitel ve Tosun, 2014; Akbelen ve Aydın, 2019). The long-term reflections of practices such as amnesty or restructuring on the financial system include different alternative possibilities. Expectations are that the tax system will have a positive effect in the long run if unregistered resources become registered through restructuring (Parle ve Hirlinger, 1986; Leonard ve Zeckhauser, 1987; Alm ve Beck, 1990; Torgler ve Schaltegger, 2005). Otherwise, fiscal amnesties will turn into a practice that harms economic actors’ perceptions of justice and reduces tax compliance and will negatively impact the financial structure in the long run (Malik ve Schwab, 1991; Luitel ve Sobel, 2007; Luitel, 2007; Kaya, 2014; Akbelen ve Aydın, 2019). In addition, the short- and long-term effects of fiscal amnesties on the tax system in terms of frequency of issuance are another topic that has been emphasized in the literature. Six fiscal amnesties with different scopes have been implemented in Türkiye over the last decade. The agenda also involves applying for a similar application in 2023. The current research is shaped within the framework of the main problem of what kind of short- and long-term effects the recent financial restructurings in Türkiye have had on the tax system. The study’s goal in this context is to determine the short- and long-term effects of tax amnesties on the public revenues that have been accrued and collected over a specific time period. During the research, a panel data set was first created based on the period of 2004-2020 regarding the sample of Türkiye’s 81 provinces. Afterwards, the study tested the reflections of six financial amnesties that had been made within different scopes on the tax system. According to the findings, the fiscal amnesty programs affected collection and accrual amounts positively in the short term. However, they&nbsp;were especially seen to negatively affect collection amounts in the long run. In addition, another important finding of the analysis is that the short-term positive effects decreased and the longterm negative effects increased with the repetition of tax amnesties. Fiscal restructurings and tax amnesties also have both statistically significant short- and long-term effects on the accrual rate, which is an indicator of tax compliance on a macroeconomic scale.&nbsp;

Although the concept of reservation appears in a variety of legal disciplines, we have attempted to reveal in our research how reservation has obtained a distinct meaning in tax law. As is known in Turkish tax law, the tax receivable accrues directly upon the taxpayer’s declaration, with no additional examination being performed by the administration in principle. This principle is also known as the principle of trust regarding taxpayers’ declarations. As a result of this principle of trust, taxpayers are also not permitted to file a lawsuit against their declaration, as specified in Paragraph 2 of Article 378 of the Tax Procedure Law No. 2131 . Reservation has emerged as an exception to the rule and is applied particularly to transactions in which taxpayers are unsure about the taxation process, where contradictory judicial decisions have occurred regarding the basic elements of tax, and where the legal regulations are unclear. Taxpayers make a reservation regarding their tax declaration in order to alleviate the uncertainty in their situation and avoid losing their right to object and right to act. However, the reservation right has a broad scope of practice and has been unable to find any estimated basis in legal regulations, with existing rules being inadequate for addressing the issue. In addition to contradictory judicial decisions regarding the right to make a reservation regarding a tax declaration, numerous conflicts are found to have been brought before the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Turkey through individual applications regarding taxpayer rights. During our research regarding the legal basis of reservation in tax law, we determined some limited regulations in the Tax Procedure Law No. 213 and Administrative Judicial Procedure Law No. 2577. The directive on tax administration is a document that explains how the administration shall implement tax laws and contains the most comprehensive definition of the concept of reservation, referring to an administrative unit expressed as an evaluation desk. As a result of our research, we understand the evaluation desk to have the authority and responsibility for evaluating declarations with a reservation. However, the issues to be evaluated and the period of the evaluation are not specified in the directive. By determining these issues in detail and including them in a tax act rather than a directive, we believe a new dimension can be added to the reservation process. However, the more serious issue currently stand is that these rules are contained in a directive, which cannot be specified as a binding source of tax law. Some of the issues this study examines include the legal nature, scope, and conditions of reservation of the taxpayer. Moreover, the study analyses the relationship between the right to declare a tax reservation and certain fundamental taxpayer rights. As mentioned above, the&nbsp;concept of reservation has obtained a sui generis meaning in tax law. This right can only be exercised in the context of declared taxes. Applying reservation to undeclared taxes results in no consequences similar to declared taxes, of which this study provides the details. In fact, despite the fact that this method is also used to refund a paid amount in undeclared taxes, the reservation would not have an authentic impact because the refund will already be made in line with the provision established in favour of the taxpayer. The most contradictory area regarding reservations has emerged for the question of whether declared reservations submitted after the legal period of declaration grant the right to file a lawsuit. The problem has been partially resolved through the decisions the Turkish Constitutional Court has made on individual applications regarding declared tax reservations submitted after the legal deadline. We are of the opinion that declared reservations submitted after the legal period should also provide the taxpayer with the right to act due to the right to access the court, especially in the presence of reasons that lead the taxpayer to file a lawsuit against the administration. Considering that no legal prohibition is found regarding suing for a declaration adjustment provided after the legal period, we believe legal remedies must be made accessible to taxpayers. Different interpretations are observed to be present in both judicial decisions and the literature regarding whether the taxpayers can declare reservations in the repentance process, which is regulated in Article 371 of Tax Procedure Law. Given the nature and purpose of the institution, we are of the opinion that taxpayers are aware of and regret the consequences of their acts and wish to benefit from the repentance institution in order to avoid further penalties by reporting their acts on their own. In this context, the study concludes the principle of non-self-contradiction, which prohibits taxpayers from filing a lawsuit against their own declarations, also applies to the declarations made within the scope of repentance. Thus, submitting these declarations with reservations that reserve the right to file a lawsuit would be inappropriate. A precedent dispute was brought to the Turkish Constitutional Court through an individual application (Milli Reasürans, Application no: 2016/70, 01.07.2020), and the court made its interpretation in this direction, concluding that no violation of property rights had occurred. Our study aims to look into solutions to issues related to reservation in tax law. As stated, reservation creates a buffer zone for taxpayers against the powerful tax administration by allowing them to reserve the right to object to their declarations and file a lawsuit if necessary. In this sense, reservation is an institution that upholds the principles of the rights to legal remedies and to a judicial review of administrative acts. The current regulations governing the right to make a reservation do not provide adequate assurances in terms of either tax compliance or the basic elements of tax-related transactions within the principle of legality. Although the existence of the reservation institution has been acknowledged by the courts and the administration, this institution requires a detailed regulation, even if taxpayers are assumed to have sufficient information about the reservation’s application. To ensure adequate predictability and to avoid infringing on taxpayers’ rights, how and when a reservation can be brought forward should be clarified. The principles of administrative legality and the of tax legality require a legal basis in this regard. Judicial decisions that dismiss an action regarding tax assessments based on declared adjustments, including reservations submitted after the deadline, violate taxpayers’ rights to property and to a fair trial. The Turkish Constitutional Court’s individual application decisions (i.e., Arbay Petrol decision [Application no: 2015/15104, 04.07.2019], Onur Oral decision [Application no: 2019/15602, 22.02.2022] and Emin Akyol decision [Application no: 2019/4696,&nbsp;18.01.2023]) ruled that preventing taxpayers from effectively raising an objection regarding tax assessments based on their adjusted declarations imposes an excessive burden on the taxpayers. Even if these decisions are significant in some ways in terms of resolving the problem, tax courts still remain to make rulings that are contrary to the principles of taxation and taxpayer rights. Moreover, as stated by the Turkish Constitutional Court in its decision with regards to the individual application of Teslime Aydoğan (Application no: 2015/4255, 09.06.2020, §§.53-54), failure to resolve a contradiction regarding judicial decisions on a particular issue after a reasonable period of time violates taxpayers’ right to a fair trial. As demonstrated in our study, the right to make a reservation regarding tax declaration is directly related to the fundamental rights of the rule of law, such as the rights to access the court and to property. Hence, clarifying the process of the reservation in clear predictable legal provisions is crucial for preventing contradictory and illegal practices.&nbsp;

As units that exist to maximize their profits, enterprises want to make the most optimal use of the support offered to them. The desire to reduce the tax burden within the framework of legal regulations is part of the nature of commercial life. When viewed based on the state’s macro-plan, the economic function of taxes and the encouragement of employment, investment, and production areas coincide with this desire. This article evaluates the extent to which the discounts provided within the framework of tax support meet taxpayer expectations when implementing these plans, as well as the success of the tax system and taxpayer law. In practice, how tax reductions reflect onto taxpayers will impact perceptions and decisions. The positive effect of a change in the tax burden serves the functional objectives of the tax while meeting taxpayers’ expectations. This study analyzes and evaluates the reflections of a change in tax deduction rates on the final tax burden using practical examples. The study uses two examples to calculate the change in tax liability caused by a reduction in the withholding tax rates for rental income and profit distribution. The tax liability for property owners increased as a result of a reduction in the withholding tax rate for rents. As a result of a dividend withholding tax deduction, the tax burden was not reduced, but an effect was found mainly related to tax deferral. Although the application results vary according to the taxable income brackets, to simply interpret the uniform tax burden as increasing or decreasing when rates change is thought to be an incomplete evaluation. The study takes the regulations regarding protection for certain income groups in the fight against the COVID pandemic, economic crisis, and inflation as its subject using two scenarios. Here, these scenario examples are used to explain how legal regulations that are seen as a loss of the treasury to the detriment of the fiscal administration do not actually result in a loss in terms of either the tax base or the amount of taxes collected. For example, the real person (A) obtained a monthly net rent of 15,000 TL on 1/1/2020. (A) has no income apart from the other six income items subject to income tax. (A) prefers the lump sum expense method. Accordingly, the path followed for the tax base and calculated tax for the March 2021 annual income tax return is as follows: Gross rental income is 15,000 / 0.90 = 16,660.67 TL. 5 months (August 1-December 31) of gross rental income is 16,660.67 x 5 = 83,333.35 TL. Tax base is 83,333.35 - 12,500.00 (15% lump sum expense) = 70,833.35 TL (the 27% tax bracket). Calculated tax is (70,833.35 – 49,000) x 0.27 = 14,595.00 TL. Provision of the transaction is 1,660.67 x 5 months = 8,333.35 TL. 83,333.35 x 0.10 = 8,333.35 TL. The taxpayer’s tax liability with the reduction of income tax withholding to 10% is 14,595.00 TL for the amount transferred to the Treasury, 8,333.35 TL for the amount transferred early with the legal arrangement, and 6,261.65 TL is then subsequently paid in 2 installments. The calculation regarding the tax liability of the taxpayer is as follows if the 20% application continued before the legal regulation regarding the 10% withholding tax deduction. The calculation regarding the taxpayer’s tax liability is as follows if the 20% application continued before the legal regulation regarding the 10% withholding tax deduction. Gross rental income is 15,000 / 80 = 18,750.00 TL. The 5 months (August 1-December 31) of gross rental income is 18,750 x 5 = 93,750.00 TL. A 15% lump sum expense is 93,750.00 x 0.15 = 14,062.50 TL. The tax base is 93,750.00 - 14,062.50% (15% lump sum expense) = 79,687.50 TL (This corresponds to the 27% tax bracket.) The calculated tax is (79,687.50 – 49,000) x 0.27 = 16,985.63 TL. The 20% withholding tax on 5 months of gross rental income is 93.750 x 0.20 = 18.750,00TL. The taxpayer has a receivable from the state of 16,985.63 TL of calculated tax, The taxpayer’s receivable tax refund is 1,764.37 TL. For the period of 2020, the enterprise does not benefit from the exemption due to being a workplace subject to declaration, as its rent exceeds 49,000 TL. Provided that the net rent remains constant, and the net rent amount is written in the lease contract, the tax withholding rate reduced as a result of a reduction in the withholding rate arising from rental income is indirectly imposed on the property owner. As seen in the example above, when a 10% withholding tax is applied, the property owner taxpayer must pay 6,261.65 TL in taxes, while when applying the 20% withholding tax, a receivable tax refund of 1,764.37 TL is generated. By reducing the withholding tax rate, the property owner does not receive a refund, a total tax cost of 8,026.02 TL is incurred as a tax payment, which is greater than the 6,261.65 TL in taxes. The other scenario example the study has prepared occurs under the title of discount on income tax dividend withholding tax. Using the regulations that occurred in the legislation, a dividend withholding tax reduction from 15% to 10% is seen as a tax reduction advantage for businesses; however, this also brings up the comparison of the dividend/attendance fee payment. In the calculation-based assessment, the remuneration received by the business partner as an attendance fee is seen to provide a greater tax advantage compared to dividends. This other scenario example also explains how the business data changes when the taxpayer’s withholding tax rate is reduced from 15% to 10% (discounted). As a result of the study’s calculations, the dividend to be set aside is seen to increase while the withholding tax rate decreases. As to how this reflects, the company provides financial support to its shareholders. However, compared to the 15% withholding tax rate, the tax refund is credited in cash or held on account in the following year’s declaration period. The amount generated by the tax deduction results in a lower tax burden in a period earlier than the profit distribution stage, thus preserving money’s purchasing power against inflation. In this case, the effect is not to reduce the tax burden but to simply defer it.&nbsp;

The Expectations and Effects of Tax Cuts: Scenario Examples

Whereas space was once considered the final frontier, the newest worlds these days are in the space of digital devices and take place in cyberspace. Users in virtual worlds interact with their environment through characters known as avatars. Despite the fact that Second Life is a virtual world, it has managed to attract significant investments and emerged as an important venue for the marketing and brand promotion of real-world products and services. As a result, virtual worlds have emerged as a new frontier for conducting online business, with the commodification of virtual worlds being a new concept for virtual worlds (Bartle,2004, p. 19). People (characters) grow up, get married, buy homes, fight, even earn Money, and trade in these virtual worlds, some of which are a sort of imitation or simulation of real life and some of which are fantasy worlds. In other words, it does almost everything that is done in real life. Some participants are willing to accept real money in exchange for transferring such items to the real world. Even video game characters are available for real-world purchase. Many items have their own discernible market value as a result of such real market transactions (Hagerty, 2012, pp. 97–99), with some of these numbers being extremely high. The term metaverse was coined in 1992 by sciencefiction writer Neal Stephenson. Its most basic definition refers to “the concept of a fully immersive virtual world where people gather to socialize, play, and work.” The commercial importance of virtual worlds has grown as a result of these developments, and as the economic values of areas in the virtual world arise, questions about how to apply tax laws to transactions in these areas will inevitably arise as well. This article contends the taxation of global sales to only be appropriate for the sale of real products or areas. Should capital gains from virtual-world property be taxed? Furthermore, things such as the right to play; extra game time; access to in-game features, materials, and items; in-game character creation or development; in-game virtual currency; and game-related applications and packages are sold in online games to the player in the real-world setting for a fee. Should this revenue be considered income and taxed accordingly? Should someone whose avatar discovers or acquires a valuable item be taxed based on the item’s value? Should any increase in the value of a forgone item be taxed when a player trades a virtual item with another player in-game (e.g., for another item or virtual currency)? When considering tax revenues, these are critical questions to consider. No country has made a clear attempt to tax these virtual incomes. However, it has become an issue that piques the interest of many countries, with taxation regulations currently being researched. Each virtual game platform has its own set of coins. The vast majority of game coins are exchanged on either centralized or decentralized platforms. Unless converted into cash, coins earned from games accumulate for the player’s security. This article is of the opinion that such coinage should not be taxed unless it is converted into cash. This is supported by research on virtual world taxation. Despite popular belief, transactions in virtual worlds should still be taxed in terms of income taxation with regard to virtual games in many countries. Prizes from competitions (including games) and lottery winnings are taxable. This article examines how these virtual-world transactions should be taxed. World of Warcraft, similar to Second Life, will be defined as a massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMO(RP)G). The second section will assess the legal and tax implications of virtual items in Türkiye and around the world.

Algeria is a North African country and geographically is considered among the Maghreb countries, which cover west of Egypt and north of the Sahara Desert. The country’s northern border lies on the Mediterranean coast, and its southern border lies within the Sahara Desert. Geographically, Algeria is the largest country in the African continent, covering an area of 2,381,741 sq. The country’s border neighbors are Tunisia to the northeast, Libya to the east, Niger to the southeast, Mauritania and Mali to the southwest, and Morocco and Western Sahara to the west. Algeria has important ports in the Mediterranean, as well as rich natural resources, especially in the south. For this reason, Algeria has been a frequent destination for many civilizations, as well as competition to states that want to establish sovereignty in the region. Two sovereignties that have left their mark in shaping Algeria’s history and culture are the Ottoman Empire and France. Algeria continued to exist as an Ottoman province for more than three centuries, starting with its attachment to the Ottoman Empire through Ottoman pirates in 1516 and the French occupation in 1830, up until the Ottoman Empire officially renounced its rights over Algeria in 1847. James McDougall (2017) compiled the way different historical sources had addressed Ottoman sovereignty in the region in his work A History of Algeria, published by Cambridge University. According to this book, some history books mostly belonging to French authors had classified the Ottoman rule in Algeria as antiquated stereotypes of piracy, white slavery, and despotism. One should keep in mind that historiography shows Turkish to have not become an official language during the Ottoman rule in the region for more than three centuries, not until the people asked for help from the Ottoman Empire against the Spanish occupation, when Algeria became an Ottoman governorship with the consent of the people. Algeria was exposed to intense French imperialism in all social and political fields, especially regarding economy and language. This period lasted for 132 years, starting with the French occupation in 1830 until gaining its independence in 1962 with a bloody struggle. The Algerian people never gave up on the idea of independence. Inadequate coordination between rebel organizations can be cited among the reasons why internal revolts had failed to succeed. France’s attitude toward popular uprisings had been to increase the inhumane violence and restrictions on social rights. After Algeria’s independence, remarkable progress was made economically through the plans made to diversify economic activities on a sectoral basis. French influence still exists in the country, especially on language and state organization. After the Algerian War of Independence, the Algerian state declared the goal of “developing the country by making it an industrial country by making maximum use of its natural resources and raising the welfare and cultural level of the people in this way.” For this purpose, all foreignowned companies, industrial facilities, businesses, and agricultural areas were nationalized. All economic and social planning and foreign trade, major industrial facilities, banks, credit institutions, transportation, and communication equipment, and all economic sectors are entirely under the control of the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria. The past experiences that had made a national identity invisible have laid the groundwork for conservative policies nowadays in favor of state control. This article aims to cover the French influence over Algeria’s financial history. In this context, the paper will first examine the political, geographical, mineralogical, and economic characteristics of the country and then present the peoples and sovereignty the region has hosted throughout its history, as well as their interactions with Algeria and Algerians. Recognizing the strategic location of the region and its resources is important for understanding the path to French imperialism.

For states to fulfill their duties, taxpayers must accurately declare their taxable income and pay their taxes in full and on time. However, maintaining this process as envisaged is not always possible. What hinders the process is taxpayers’ tax avoidance and tax evasion behaviors, and occasionally the failure of governments to design tax systems successfully. Since the existence of states and taxes, much research has been done and continues to be done to detect and eliminate these problems. In this context, the first study to theoretically investigate individuals’ decisions to evade taxes using the economic model belongs to Allingham and Sandmo (1972), and the first study to investigate tax compliance with an applied method (i.e., the experimental method) belongs to Friedland, Maital and Rutenberg (1978), both of which are considered pioneering studies in their field.The survey and experimental methods are both quantitative methods and are seen to be primarily used in studies on tax compliance. The questionnaire method is a common well-known method for researchers, while the experimental method is a relatively lesser-known method regarding tax compliance. The survey method is noteworthily the one used the most in tax compliance studies conducted in Turkey. Comprehensive studies are found in the international literature to consist of both the survey and experimental methods, with the experimental studies from Secilmis (2010) and Arıman (2020) being rare studies on taxation in Turkey. This study aims to provide information about experimental studies and to contribute to the Turkish literature in order to increase both the quantity and quality of the experimental studies carried out in Turkey on tax compliance.Students are primarily involved in experiments, and whether or not students are representative of taxpayers is a crucial issue of debate (Harrison &amp; List, 2004, p. 1016). A laboratory experiment was conducted to compare the behaviors of student and non-student subjects regarding tax compliance. The findings show the students’ behavioral responses to be essentially the same as those of the non-students in the same experiments (Alm, Bloomquist, &amp; McKee, 2015, p. 1183).This study has conducted a literature review and provided a summary of the studies that have been carried out on taxes in Turkey using the survey method. The study then presents a detailed literature review of the experimental studies that have been carried out with students. The findings from the experimental studies mostly state increases in tax rates to reduce tax compliance, increases in audit rates to increase tax compliance, increases in the level at which taxpayers trust the tax administration to increase tax compliance, men to have lower tax compliance levels than women, and individual tax compliance levels to be similar for those in the same social group.&nbsp;Another remarkable finding is that behavioral theories and factors such as prospect theory have also been included in tax compliance experiments.The national and international literature is full of studies on tax compliance that have used the survey method. However, the studies carried out using experimental methods on this subject are notably pretty weak in the literature of Turkey compared to the international literature. This study was carried out as a literature review and is expected to contribute to Turkey’s existing literature. Meanwhile, some problems can be encountered, such as the cost of establishing a laboratory in order to conduct laboratory experiments, the difficulties un using the experimental design and in identifying and reaching subjects suitable for a study, and the lack of a sufficient number of guiding studies in Turkey regarding behavioral finance. Despite all these shortcomings, applying experimental methods in tax studies that are planned to be carried out in Turkey can evidently make significant contributions to the literature.&nbsp;
