Background of the Study
Public utilities, including water supply, electricity, and sanitation, are essential services that contribute to the overall well-being of communities. Local governments, such as Dala LGA, are tasked with providing these services, but they often struggle with inadequate funding. Tax revenue plays a crucial role in financing these essential services. However, the connection between tax revenue and the improvement of public utilities is often underexplored, particularly in local government areas.
In Dala LGA, inadequate funding for public utilities has led to poor service delivery, affecting the quality of life for residents. Taxation has the potential to provide a stable revenue stream for improving public utilities, but the efficiency of tax collection and allocation to these services remains a critical issue. This study examines the role of tax revenue in funding public utilities in Dala LGA, providing insights for improving the quality of life for residents through better-managed public service delivery.
Statement of the Problem
Public utilities in Dala LGA are inadequately funded, leading to poor service delivery. Although tax revenue has the potential to support these utilities, there is limited research on how effectively tax revenue contributes to the improvement of public utilities in the LGA. This study seeks to explore the role of tax revenue in enhancing public utility services in Dala LGA.
