Background of the Study
Tax education is critical for improving tax compliance by providing taxpayers with the necessary knowledge to understand their obligations and the benefits of taxation. In many developing economies, low compliance rates are often linked to inadequate tax education, leaving taxpayers unaware of how taxes contribute to societal development. Birnin Kebbi LGA, known for its diverse economic activities, faces challenges related to low tax compliance.
Tax education programs help bridge the knowledge gap, ensuring that individuals and businesses recognize the importance of paying taxes. Effective tax education fosters voluntary compliance, reduces enforcement costs, and builds trust between taxpayers and tax authorities. Despite efforts by government agencies, tax compliance in Birnin Kebbi LGA remains suboptimal, largely due to limited awareness and understanding of tax policies. This study examines the influence of tax education on compliance in Birnin Kebbi LGA, with the aim of identifying strategies to enhance compliance rates.
