“…In recent years there has been considerable research on how not‐for‐profit organisations have engaged with government when they are contracted to deliver government programs (Considine ; Domberger and Hall ; Flack and Ryan ; Butcher ; McGregor‐Lowndes and Ryan ; Spall and Zetlin ; Rogers ). Some commentators, in Australia and elsewhere, have suggested that not‐for‐profit organisations will need to re‐examine their own structures in the light of possible conflict between their obligations to funders and their mission (McCluskey ; Rogers ).…”

This article examines an experiment in delivering services and programs in communities that were affected by the 2009 Victorian bushfires. Three not-for-profit agencies received funding to develop and deliver programs over a period of three years with the aim of achieving sustainability for the programs thus created. They were not constrained by the requirements of normal government funding, which is short term, subject to competitive tendering and targeted at specific programs and client groups. The nature of the funding allowed the three agencies to introduce innovative programs tailored to the needs of the community and with the aim of building community capacity. However the question of whether the programs are sustainable when existing funding runs out remains open.

“…Debates in the United Kingdom often take the form of a contest between providers and tenants' groups, each seeking to influence the regulator (see Cave 2007). 17 McGregor-Lowndes & Ryan (2009) note that organisations face an additional burden through supporting research on red tape. This could also be viewed as ritualistic if the burdens are not reduced.…”

A price worth paying? Accountability, red tape and the regulation of affordable housing

Although it is not a pressing social problem in the same way as, for example, poverty, child abuse, or climate change, red tape causes frustrations for many working in public and private sector organisations, perhaps even more than for the ordinary citizen dealing with large government agencies. This paper will explore some dimensions of this contentious issue. It will consider the positive view of regulation advanced by regulation theorists, and some qualitative researchers associated with this tradition. Drawing on a qualitative research study concerning the regulation of affordable housing in Australia, it examines the nature of administrative burdens. It is suggested that three factors lead to the perception of red tape: whether regulation is seen as making a difference to services beyond accountability; whether the measures used are meaningful; and the resources available for compliance. Qualitative researchers can help those in government seeking to reduce administrative burdens by supplying realistic accounts that address the views and experiences of those subject to regulation.

“…As businesses become more successful over time and their turnover grow, owners tend to favour more complex business structures, particularly incorporation, to minimise risk and tax. This can increase both tax and non-tax compliance costs (McGregor-Lowndes & Ryan, 2009). Hence, the study assumes that business age influences on tax compliance costs.…”

Compliance fee is the cost incurred by the taxpayers in fulfilling the taxation requirements imposed on the taxpayers by the law and the authority of the country. The company expects to incur the minimum tax costs associated with fulfilling its tax obligations. Research on the influence of business characteristics to tax compliance cost is still scanty. This research examined the effect of business characteristics (age, size, sector and risk management) on tax compliance costs. The research design adopted in this study is survey design. The questionnaires were distributed to the members of Department of Cooperatives and Micro Small-Medium Enterprises in Padang City. The non-probability sampling was used as the sampling method and 92 respondents participated in this research. The data obtained were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The research findings indicate that age, size and sector have no effect on tax compliance costs while risk management has an effect on tax compliance costs.
