Background of the Study
Tax morale, defined as the intrinsic motivation to pay taxes, is a key factor influencing tax compliance. While legal enforcement mechanisms such as audits and penalties exist, a strong sense of civic duty can foster voluntary compliance, reducing administrative costs. In Chibok LGA, low compliance rates raise concerns about the underlying factors affecting tax morale.
Research suggests that determinants such as trust in government, social norms, and perceived fairness of the tax system play a significant role in shaping tax morale. However, these factors vary across cultural and socioeconomic contexts. In Nigeria, and particularly in rural areas like Chibok, tax morale is poorly understood, limiting the effectiveness of compliance strategies.
Understanding the determinants of tax morale is vital for fostering a tax culture that supports local governance and development. This study explores the factors influencing tax morale in Chibok LGA, aiming to provide insights for improving compliance rates.
Statement of the Problem
Tax morale in Chibok LGA appears to be low, as evidenced by poor compliance rates. The lack of empirical studies on the determinants of tax morale in this region hinders the development of effective interventions. Without understanding the root causes, efforts to improve compliance may remain ineffective.
