Background of the Study
Value-Added Tax (VAT) is a significant source of government revenue, contributing to various economic activities at the local level. Introduced as a consumption tax, VAT is collected at each stage of production and distribution, making it a reliable and efficient tax mechanism. In Minna LGA, an area known for its vibrant commercial activities, VAT plays a crucial role in funding infrastructure, education, and healthcare services.
The contribution of VAT to local economic activities lies in its ability to generate revenue, which is reinvested in developmental projects. However, despite its potential, there are concerns about its effectiveness in supporting local economic growth. Issues such as evasion, inefficient collection systems, and lack of awareness affect its overall contribution. This study seeks to explore how VAT impacts local economic activities in Minna LGA and assess its broader implications for development.
