Differences between demographic characteristics groups and changes over time were examined by using chi square and logistic regression methods. The analysis showed declining tolerance for tax avoidance in Lithuania during 2017-2019. Keywords: Taxes, Taxpayers’ behavior, Tax avoidance. [From the publication]
