Bu çalışmada, Kosova Cumhuriyeti’ndeki uygulanan vergi aflarının nedenleri ve vergi aflarına karşı mükelleflerin olumlu ve olumsuz görüşlerini tespitine yönelik yapılan araştırma sonuçlarına yer verilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, araştırma verileri ile ankete katılan mükelleflerin, vergi aflarının nedenleri ve vergi afları ile ilgili oluşturulan olumlu ve olumsuz görüşlere katılma düzeyleri arasında; cinsiyetlerine, yaşlarına, eğitim durumlarına ve mükellefiyet sürelerine göre bir farklılığın olup olmadığı tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Araştırma ile ilgili oluşturulan hipotezlerin testinde ise Bağımsız-Örneklem T-testi, Tek Yönlü Anova ve Tukey Post Hock LSD testleri kullanılmıştır. Çalışma, vergi aflarının temel nedenlerini tanımlamaktadır. Hipotez sonuçları, vergi affının temel nedenlerini ve gerekçelerini ortaya çıkarır; bunlar vergi idaresi ve yargı iş yükünün azaltılması, kısa vadeli kamu geliri artışı, vergiye uyum konusunda tutarsızlıklar gösteren ve sosyal ve politik programların uygulanmasında bir araç olarak affı kullanan vergi mükellefleri için yeni bir başlangıçtır.
