Background of the Study
Tax awareness plays a pivotal role in ensuring voluntary compliance, particularly among market traders who operate in the informal sector. In many parts of Nigeria, including Katsina LGA, market traders represent a significant portion of the economic landscape. However, their tax compliance remains low, primarily due to limited awareness and understanding of tax regulations.
Market traders often perceive taxation as a burden, leading to resistance and evasion. Enhancing tax awareness is essential for fostering a culture of compliance and ensuring sustainable revenue generation. Despite various campaigns aimed at educating taxpayers, the level of tax awareness among market traders in Katsina LGA remains unclear. This study seeks to assess the level of tax awareness among market traders and identify factors influencing their understanding of tax policies.
Statement of the Problem
Tax evasion among market traders in Katsina LGA persists due to inadequate awareness of tax obligations and benefits. This lack of awareness undermines government efforts to generate revenue and deliver essential services. The study aims to assess the level of tax awareness among market traders and propose measures to enhance it.
