    Abstract: E-tax systems have transformed tax administration worldwide, improving efficiency and revenue performance. However, their impact on tax payment behaviour varies across taxpayer groups, and limited empirical evidence exists on how demographic characteristics shape this relationship. Guided by the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology, the economic deterrence theory, and the slippery slope framework, this study examines the moderating role of demographic factors in the relationship between e-tax adoption and tax payment in Uganda. Using an extended difference-in-differences model with three-way interaction terms, the analysis draws on data from 2,500 taxpayers selected through stratified and simple random sampling. The findings reveal that industrial sector, geographic location, business age, size, and ownership type significantly influence the effect of e-tax adoption on tax payment, with varying effects across tax categories. The study recommends differentiated taxpayer support and compliance strategies that account for variations across taxpayer groups and tax categories.
