This study investigate the effect of psychology variables such as Machiavellianism and emotional manipulation on tax evasion in two groups of men and women of accountants. For this purpose, We selected 428 of accountants and financial managers of the Tehran stock exchange listed firms . The theoretical foundations of this research collected by the archival research, also, research data collected through the questionnaire. The hypothesis test is conducted by multivariable regression. The results show that , in women sample, there is no significant relation between Machiavellianism and tax evasion. But, emotional manipulation has a positive and significant relation with tax evasion. Also in men sample, the research results is the opposite. In this sample, Machiavellianism has a direct and significant relation with tax evasion, however, emotional manipulation has no any significant relation with tax evasion. So, We conclude that tax avoidance is observed among two groups of males and females. However, different psychological factors could affect it.
