Background of the Study
Tax audits play a pivotal role in ensuring that taxpayers comply with tax laws, thus contributing to enhanced revenue generation. In Gudu LGA, tax audits are utilized to verify the accuracy of tax returns, identify discrepancies, and ensure that the appropriate tax liabilities are paid. Tax audits are also critical in detecting tax evasion, which is a significant problem in many regions, including Gudu LGA.
The goal of conducting tax audits is to increase tax compliance and, by extension, boost government revenue. However, despite the implementation of tax audits, the impact on revenue generation in Gudu LGA remains unclear. Research into this area will provide valuable insights into whether tax audits are effective in improving revenue collection and to what extent they contribute to local economic development.
