Background of the Study
Tax compliance is essential for generating revenue to fund public services and infrastructure. However, compliance rates often vary across different demographic groups, with gender emerging as a significant factor. In many societies, systemic disparities in income, education, and access to resources contribute to differences in how men and women comply with tax obligations. In Gwale LGA, these disparities are further influenced by sociocultural norms, economic roles, and levels of financial literacy.
Women in Gwale LGA, particularly those in informal and small-scale enterprises, may face unique challenges in meeting tax compliance requirements. These include limited awareness of tax policies, lower income levels, and barriers to accessing support systems. This study investigates gender disparities in tax compliance in Gwale LGA to identify underlying factors and propose actionable recommendations.
Statement of the Problem
Gender disparities in tax compliance may lead to unequal revenue contributions and inequitable treatment by tax authorities. Despite existing tax policies aimed at inclusivity, women in Gwale LGA may still face disproportionate challenges in compliance, undermining their economic participation and contributions.
