Abstract

This article aims to develop and test an innovative model that explains how behavioral antecedents lead to the intention and implementation of the IPTU tax payment to the municipality of Ribeirão das Neves. As a methodology, it is evident that, from the theoretical references, an analysis model was created and adapted, consisting of nine dimensions (constructs) and 44 indicators (measured variables). Based on this analytical model, a questionnaire for a survey applied to taxpayers. As main results, it was verified that the causal model allowed to analyze the influence of behavioral aspects in the determination of the intentions and realization of the IPTU payment, being validated by the data from the survey research. Additionally, hypotheses regarding directions and intensities were tested and validated. The theoretical/methodological contributions of the study consisted of contributing to an examination of the theoretical foundations of the model used, representing yet another empirical support for the presented model, contributing to its robustness. As social and management contributions, a model and its application are presented, constituting a management and planning instrument for medium-sized municipalities, allowing to deal with tax compliance in the fight against IPTU payment evasion.
