Background of the Study
Tax evasion remains a significant challenge to revenue generation in Nigeria, particularly in urban areas such as Kano Municipal LGA. As one of Nigeria’s most economically vibrant regions, Kano Municipal LGA hosts diverse economic activities, including commerce, manufacturing, and services. However, the prevalence of tax evasion undermines the government’s ability to fund public services and infrastructure.
Globally, effective strategies for reducing tax evasion include simplifying tax systems, improving enforcement mechanisms, and fostering taxpayer trust. In Kano Municipal LGA, issues such as corruption, complex tax processes, and limited public awareness exacerbate the problem. This study explores strategies that can be adopted to minimize tax evasion, ensuring sustainable revenue generation and economic growth.
Statement of the Problem
Despite its economic potential, Kano Municipal LGA struggles with high rates of tax evasion, leading to a significant loss of revenue. The existing measures to curb evasion have proven inadequate, largely due to systemic challenges such as corruption and ineffective enforcement. This study seeks to examine strategies that can effectively address these issues and promote tax compliance.
