    Los autores analizan la conciencia fiscal de los ciudadanos es-pañoles sobre el sistema fiscal. Se utiliza un cuestionario que explora los factores determinantes del sistema: conocimiento y aceptación del fraude, uso de prestaciones sociales y la satisfacción y la confianza en las institucio-nes. Se construye una tabla de contingencia y se estudia su significación es-tadística mediante el Coeficiente V de Cramer, modelos de regresión logís-tica binaria, multinomial y regresión ordinaria. Como covariables se toma-ron el nivel educativo y la situación laboral, demostrando la falta de signifi-cación estadística del género en la conciencia fiscal. Si existen diferencias significativas entre hombres y el grupo amas de casa. Estas muestran nive-les más bajos de conciencia fiscal, un menor conocimiento del sistema, ma-yor aceptación del fraude menor confianza en las administraciones y hacia sus conciudadanos

    The authors analyze the Spanish fiscal awareness through citi-zens� perception on the tax system. A questionnaire is used for exploring the most influential factors: knowledge of the system, acceptance of fraud, use of social benefits without adequate compensation, and satisfaction and confidence in institutions.

    Once the contingency table is built and the strength of the statistical signif-icance is analyzed - by Cramer's V coefficient - binary logistic regression models, multinomial logistic regression and ordinal regression are applied. Educational level and employment status were taken as covariates, demon-strating the lack of statistical significance of gender in tax awareness.

    There are significant differences between men, women and the group of housewives. These women show lower levels of fiscal awareness, a greater lack of knowledge about the system, more acceptance of fraud, more dis-satisfaction with administrations and further distrust towards their fellow citizens
