Background of the Study

Small traders form the backbone of informal economies in many developing countries, including Nigeria. Their contributions to local economies are significant, yet their tax compliance rates often lag behind larger businesses. Tax morale, the intrinsic willingness to pay taxes, plays a critical role in shaping compliance behavior among these traders.

In Anka Local Government Area (LGA), small traders face numerous challenges, including lack of awareness about tax policies, perceived inequities in the tax system, and limited trust in the government’s use of tax revenues. These factors often lead to resistance or outright evasion. However, the motivations and attitudes of small traders regarding tax compliance remain underexplored, making it difficult to design effective interventions.

By examining the tax morale of small traders in Anka LGA, this study aims to uncover the psychological and contextual factors influencing their compliance behavior. Insights from this research will inform policies to foster a culture of voluntary compliance, ultimately enhancing local revenue generation.

Statement of the Problem

Despite the economic significance of small traders in Anka LGA, their tax compliance rates remain low, posing challenges to revenue mobilization. Existing tax policies often overlook the unique circumstances of small traders, resulting in mistrust and non-compliance. Understanding the tax morale of this group is crucial for designing effective strategies to improve compliance.
