Taxes: Perceptions and Attitudes
Purpose: This questionnaire is for academic purposes and is part of a study regarding taxes. The government needs money to function and provide services. Two sources of money for the government come from taxing and borrowing. We would like to understand your attitudes and perceptions regarding different types of taxes.
This questionnaire is part of a class project designed to teach Brooklyn College graduate students about different types of taxes and how to conduct research.
Methodology: Graduate students at Brooklyn College are asking people to complete the questionnaire below regarding types of taxes, but the students are not required to complete the questionnaire. Each student has a unique questionnaire link and receives credit for the number of people who complete their questionnaire.
Those who complete the questionnaire are also being asked to forward the questionnaire link to their friends and family so they can also complete the questionnaire. This is an important part of our research methodology that is intended to increase the number of questionnaires completed. We greatly appreciate you requesting others to participate in this study and providing them with the questionnaire link for this study.
Types of Questions: You are asked to answer several survey questions about types of taxes and we ask for some demographic information, such as gender, age, ethnicity and religion, so that we can accurately describe the group of people who participate in the study. The survey will take less than 10 minutes to complete.
Risks: No risks or discomforts are anticipated from taking part in this study. If you feel uncomfortable with a question, you can skip that question or withdraw from the study altogether. If you decide to quit at any time before you have finished the questionnaire, your answers will NOT be recorded.
Participation: This questionnaire is for academic purposes. Your participation is voluntary and the extent of your participation is the completion of this survey. Your identity is not known and each survey is submitted anonymously. Your participation is not required, but greatly appreciated.
