Background of the Study
Tax incentives are a common policy tool used by governments to attract investments and stimulate economic growth. These incentives, which may include tax holidays, reduced tax rates, and exemptions, are designed to encourage businesses to invest in specific sectors or regions. In Hadejia LGA, the local government has implemented various tax incentives to attract investors and foster economic activities.
Despite these measures, the level of private investment in Hadejia LGA remains below expectations, raising concerns about the effectiveness of tax incentives. While such incentives are meant to reduce operational costs and improve the business climate, other factors, such as infrastructure, market access, and governance, may influence investment decisions. This study examines the effectiveness of tax incentives in attracting investments to Hadejia LGA.
