Background of the Study
Tax education programs are essential for improving taxpayer compliance and enhancing government revenue. In Jos North LGA, a diverse and economically active area, low tax compliance is a recurring issue. Many taxpayers lack sufficient knowledge about their tax obligations and the benefits derived from tax revenues, which affects voluntary compliance.
Tax education programs aim to bridge this knowledge gap, ensuring taxpayers understand their roles and responsibilities. These programs also help foster trust between taxpayers and tax authorities, ultimately reducing evasion and increasing compliance. Despite their importance, the effectiveness of tax education programs in Jos North LGA has not been fully evaluated, necessitating this study.
