Despite the importance of SME as the backbone of Malaysia in generating national income, prior studies on tax non-compliance have focused little on culture influence as one of the predictors of tax non-compliance. With the multicultural society which has a different culture, belief, and value, it is important to examine culture influence towards tax non-compliance, so that actions can be taken by the IRBM to deter tax non-compliance of SME owners. Therefore, this study attempts to propose a conceptual framework of Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions Theory to be used in examining culture influence towards the intention of tax non-compliance among SME owners.
