Abstract
There is concern about small business owners’ (SBOs) tax knowledge. This research extends prior research by comparing literacy scores (LSs) in the areas of business tax, financial statements and computer accounting software (CAS) to the confidence levels of SBOs operating in the service sector. This is important as misaligned confidence to knowledge could lead to mistakes, as well as not seeking assistance. Also, this research sought to understand whether service SBOs cash flow management practices are related to their literacies. The findings suggest that SBOs confidence in understanding business tax and in implementing effective cash flow management systems is significant to service SBO’s literacy.
