Background of the Study
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are vital contributors to economic growth, employment, and innovation. However, taxation significantly affects their financial performance, particularly in developing regions like Argungu LGA. The financial burden of taxes can influence SMEs' profitability, reinvestment capacity, and overall growth. While taxation generates revenue for public services, excessive or poorly structured tax systems can hinder SMEs’ operations, discouraging expansion and innovation.
In Argungu LGA, where SMEs form a substantial part of the local economy, understanding the impact of taxation on their financial performance is crucial. A well-balanced tax system can promote SME sustainability, while an overly burdensome one can lead to financial instability. This study investigates how taxation influences the financial performance of SMEs in Argungu LGA.
