CHAPTER ONE
1.1 Background of the Study
Tax compliance is a critical aspect of any business operation, ensuring that companies adhere to tax regulations and avoid legal issues. Small businesses often struggle with tax compliance due to limited resources and knowledge of complex tax codes. This can result in errors, fines, or missed tax opportunities, jeopardizing business sustainability.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a solution by automating tax calculations, generating tax reports, and ensuring compliance with the latest regulations. AI-driven tax management systems can also analyze business data to identify tax-saving opportunities, reducing costs and enhancing compliance.
This study explores the role of AI in improving tax compliance and management among small businesses in Enugu State. It examines how AI can streamline tax processes, reduce errors, and ensure regulatory adherence in the local business landscape.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Small businesses in Enugu face challenges in navigating complex tax regulations, leading to compliance errors, missed deductions, and penalties. While AI offers a solution, there is a lack of understanding regarding its implementation and effectiveness in improving tax management for small businesses.
1.3 Aim and Objectives of the Study
The aim of this study is to assess the role of AI in tax compliance and management for small businesses in Enugu State. The specific objectives are:
-
To evaluate the effectiveness of AI in automating tax compliance tasks.
