Background of the Study
Tax policies are vital instruments for promoting economic growth and development. By regulating taxation frameworks, governments generate revenue to fund infrastructure, education, healthcare, and other public services. In Gombe LGA, a hub of agricultural and commercial activities, the effectiveness of tax policies in stimulating local economic growth is increasingly under scrutiny.
Effective tax policies can incentivize investments, reduce income inequalities, and enhance productivity.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of these policies and their contribution to local economic development.
