Background of the Study
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ilorin South LGA play a crucial role in the local economy, contributing to job creation and economic growth. Tax compliance is an essential aspect of business operations, as it not only ensures the business is legally compliant but also influences its financial health.
