Descriptive research designs were used, and qualitative and quantitative research methods, to attain the study's goal. The study used a survey of questionnaire analysis. The Sample respondents selected for the entire set of all tax auditors study were 50 auditors and 47 were collected. Data analyzed on a quantitative basis using descriptive statistics. The results showed that tax audit attribute, audit quality, top management support, competency of staff auditors, have statistically significant influence and positive impact on assessment of the studied organizations on tax audit effectiveness. While organizational setting has a beneficial effect on tax audit effectiveness, it is statistically negligible.
