The specific objectives that guided the research were: to study the relationship between technological ease of use and turnover tax compliance; to establish the relationship between technology usefulness and turnover tax compliance and to examine the relationship between system security mechanism and turnover tax compliance among small and medium size textile enterprises. This study was grounded on Technology Acceptance Model and Unified theory of Acceptance and use of Technology. Descriptive research design was applied in this study.

The study findings revealed that regression coefficient for technological ease of use, technology usefulness and system security mechanisms had (β = .098,.311 and .129) had positive and significant relationship with turnover tax compliance. The study concludes that technology facilitates compliance by reducing user effort and increasing openness to new technologies.
