This research intends to present the influence of COSO framework-guided internal control system in Jordan on curbing tax evasion. The questionnaire, designed to meet the study's goals, was divided into five sections, each containing ten questions based on literature reviews and theoretical frameworks. The target group included managers, department heads, supervisors, and assessors from both Income and Sales Tax Department (ISTD) divisions in Jordan; a total of 280 individuals were surveyed. Ultimately 250 responses were received with a rate of 89.3%, out of which 12 were deemed invalid leading to a final analysis sample size of 238 (representing 95.2%). Data analysis and hypothesis testing was carried out using SPSS software by the researchers after this stage was completed. The results of the study have shown that COSO-based internal control system has its impact on fighting tax evasion in Jordan by the system. This includes all components: the control environment, information and communication, risk assessment, control activities, and monitoring performance.

The questionnaire, designed to meet the study's goals, was divided into five sections, each containing ten questions based on literature reviews and theoretical frameworks. The target group included managers, department heads, supervisors, and assessors from both Income and Sales Tax Department (ISTD) divisions in Jordan; a total of 280 individuals were surveyed.
