Abstract:

This research aims to analyze the attitudes and behaviors related to taxation on automobile fuel consumption. Within this scope, the field research study was conducted by using the questionnaire method. The questionnaires were directed to automobile users who pay for automobile fuel costs from their own pockets. The data is analyzed by using Nonparametric tests. The results of the analysis reveal that the reactions towards tax on fuel consumption can change according to the age, sex, income level, education and profession status of the automobile users. Nonparametric test results show that compared to men, women are more affected from the taxes on fuel consumption. Moreover, it is also found that compared to other age groups, those in the age range 25-39 are more affected from taxes on fuel consumption while participants who earn 773-1000 TL are more influenced from taxes on fuel consumption compared to other income groups.
