Background of the Study
Tax fairness is a critical determinant of tax compliance, influencing taxpayers' willingness to meet their obligations. Taxpayers often assess fairness based on equity, transparency, and the proportionality of tax rates to their income levels. In Zaria LGA, perceptions of tax fairness remain a contentious issue, as individuals question whether the tax system equitably distributes the tax burden and provides adequate returns in public services.
Globally, a perceived lack of fairness in tax systems can lead to evasion, reduced compliance, and public dissatisfaction. In Zaria LGA, where economic disparities exist, understanding taxpayers' perceptions of fairness is essential for formulating policies that encourage voluntary compliance and strengthen the tax administration system. This study explores how individual taxpayers perceive the fairness of the tax system in Zaria LGA.
