The second objective of the study was to determine whether subjective norms influences the intention to become tax agents among accounting students. The last objective was to determine whether perceived behavioral control (self-efficacy and knowledge on tax agent requirements) influences
the intention to become tax agents among accounting students. Questionnaire survey were used for data collection. Reliability, validity, descriptive and multiple regression
analyses were conducted using the data collected from 330 respondents chosen by
using the convenience sampling techniques. The result of multiple regression analyses shows that the independent variables tested can explain 58% variances towards the intention to become tax agents. Hence, the model used in this study were supported being suitable and it was able to predict the dependent variable; intention to become tax agent. From the research findings, it was found that independent variables that influence the intention to become tax agent were attitude, subjective norm and self efficacy |
