Abstract
Tax revenue is important for the country to ensure important government spending. This is even more important for a developing country. By analyzing panel data, we find factors that affect tax revenues of Southeast Asian countries during 10 years, for the period 2006–2015. The results show that there are four positive factors for tax revenues: GDP per capita, Trade volume, Agricultural sector, Industry sector. This result is in accordance with the characteristics and general conditions of these countries.
