Background of the Study
Tax morale is a critical determinant of compliance behavior and overall revenue generation. In regions like Zuru LGA, where informal economic activities dominate, understanding the factors that shape tax morale is essential for improving compliance rates. Tax morale is not solely determined by enforcement measures but also by socio-cultural, economic, and psychological factors, including trust in government, perceptions of fairness, and community norms.
While enforcement efforts focus on penalties and audits, these measures often fail to address the root causes of non-compliance, particularly in rural settings. Research in similar contexts highlights the importance of trust in government and equitable tax policies in fostering a tax-compliant culture. However, empirical studies specific to Zuru LGA remain scarce. This study seeks to explore these factors and provide actionable insights for tax authorities.
Statement of the Problem
Tax compliance in Zuru LGA is hindered by low tax morale, leading to revenue shortfalls that impact public service delivery. Existing research does not adequately address the underlying factors influencing tax morale in this region. This study seeks to fill this gap by identifying key determinants of tax morale in Zuru LGA.
