Background of the Study
Tax compliance plays a vital role in the economic stability and development of any nation. It serves as the primary avenue through which governments generate revenue to fund public services, infrastructure, and development projects. In Nigeria, the importance of tax compliance has grown significantly as governments at all levels seek to diversify revenue streams away from oil dependence. Bauchi Local Government Area (LGA), located in northeastern Nigeria, represents a microcosm of the challenges and opportunities facing tax systems in developing economies. With a diverse population and mixed economic activities, the area has the potential to generate substantial tax revenue. However, issues such as a weak tax administration framework, limited public awareness, and widespread tax evasion hinder optimal revenue generation.
Despite various tax reforms introduced by the government, the level of compliance among taxpayers in Bauchi LGA remains suboptimal. Factors such as the complexity of tax laws, corruption, and mistrust in public institutions exacerbate the problem. Understanding the relationship between tax compliance and revenue generation is crucial for designing effective policies that ensure sustainable development. This study seeks to examine the extent to which tax compliance influences revenue generation in Bauchi LGA, thereby offering insights into improving fiscal responsibility at the grassroots level.
Statement of the Problem
The persistent gap between projected and actual revenue in Bauchi LGA raises questions about the effectiveness of the local tax administration. Despite numerous campaigns and legislative efforts to improve tax compliance, the area still faces challenges such as tax evasion, inadequate enforcement mechanisms, and a lack of transparency. These issues limit the LGA’s ability to meet developmental objectives and fund critical public services.
