Background of the Study
Public services such as healthcare, education, and waste management are vital for societal well-being. These services largely depend on tax revenue for funding. In Maiduguri Metropolitan LGA, the largest city in Borno State, challenges such as insecurity and rapid urbanization have increased the demand for quality public services. However, insufficient tax compliance limits the government's ability to meet these demands effectively.
Tax compliance not only ensures adequate revenue but also builds trust between taxpayers and the government. In regions like Maiduguri, where public services are often inadequate, fostering compliance requires addressing issues such as corruption, poor service delivery, and weak enforcement of tax laws. This study examines the role of tax compliance in improving public services in Maiduguri Metropolitan LGA, highlighting the critical connection between revenue generation and service delivery.

Despite reforms to improve tax compliance, many residents remain non-compliant, citing mistrust in government and poor service delivery. This study seeks to explore how enhancing tax compliance can improve public services.
