Results - Sixty-six questionnaires from taxpayers and tax experts in the Zanjan province were collected and tested using statistical tools. Conclusions - The results indicate that there are no obstacles in taxpayer participation; moreover, both taxpayers and tax experts have similar opinions regarding this issue.
