Preferences of Taxpayers for Public Expenditures and Preferences for Paying Taxes for These Expenditures: Turkey SampleAbstract: This study aimed to determine taxpayers' preferences for public expenditures and preferences for paying taxes for these expenditures in Turkey. First, the relevant literature was examined, and then a survey questionnaire was prepared for the study. In this study, in which 782 direct taxpayers from 12 provinces participated, it has been determined that they prefer higher public expenditure on education, health, and safety even if the tax payable by the taxpayer has to increase. The preferences over public expenditures and the preferences over their tax payments for these public expenditures were analysed according to the demographic variables of the province, gender, marital status, age, education level, and monthly personal income. The study's findings contribute to the creation of an expenditure program that would maximize the benefits of both taxpayers and policy makers
