The study aims to look at the perception of tax administrators on the merger and acquisition (M & A) investment decision in Malaysia based on planned behavior theory. A total of 88 Inland Revenue Board Malaysia (IRBM) staff took part in the structured interviews. The result was analyzed to examine the link between peer influence and perceived behavioral control on behavioral intention to carry out a merger and acquisition. Results show that perceived behavioral control is significantly and positively related to behavioral intention while peer influence is weak yet a significant influence on behavioral intention. This article is organized into four parts. The first part will discuss the introduction.
