Background of the Study
Value-Added Tax (VAT) influences consumer behavior by affecting the prices of goods and services. In Lokoja LGA, the implementation of VAT has raised questions about its impact on consumption patterns, particularly among low-income earners. As a consumption tax, VAT increases the cost of goods and services, which may alter consumer preferences and spending habits.
VAT implementation aims to generate revenue while maintaining economic stability. However, its effect on consumption patterns varies based on income levels, product necessity, and market dynamics. In Lokoja LGA, where residents rely on a mix of local and imported goods, understanding the influence of VAT on consumption is critical for designing equitable tax policies.

The implementation of VAT in Lokoja LGA has sparked debates about its influence on consumption patterns. While VAT is intended to generate revenue, its potential to alter spending habits and affect demand for goods and services requires further investigation. This study examines how VAT implementation influences consumption patterns in Lokoja LGA.
