Abstract
This study explores the complex area of tax compliance in Lebanon, using the principles of behavioral economics and nudges as intervention tools. The central problem is to understand how nudges can positively influence the tax behavior of Lebanese taxpayers and improve tax collection. This study tends to investigate how can nudges modify taxpayers' tax behavior in Lebanon. To achieve those objectives, questionnaires were administered to a randomly selected sample of 500 Lebanese taxpayers. The results show that nudges have a significant positive impact on tax compliance. The study underscores the need for continuous evaluation and adaptation of nudge strategies to ensure their effectiveness and relevance in diverse socio-economic contexts. Future research should expand on these findings to explore the nuanced impacts of different types of nudges across various settings.
