A Pearson`s correlation test was run to show the relationship between E-payment and tax compliance. Results from the above table revealed that there is a positive relationship between E – payment and tax compliance equal to 0.602 and the p-value = .000 which is less than 0.01. The regression model was significant and thus reliable for making conclusions and recommendations In conclusion, the study findings revealed a positive association between E – payment and tax compliance. This study concludes that there is a direct association between E – payment and tax compliance. The study recommends that URA should adopt the use internet payment system to allow tax officers to issue assessments and refunds more quickly and lower corruption by reducing face-toface interactions.
