Background of the Study
Tax compliance is essential for ensuring adequate revenue generation at the local government level. In Kontagora LGA, like many other regions, tax compliance is a persistent challenge. Understanding the factors that influence taxpayer behavior is crucial for improving tax compliance rates and ensuring sufficient revenue for local development.
Factors such as the perceived fairness of the tax system, the level of trust in local government institutions, economic conditions, and the enforcement of tax laws all play a role in shaping taxpayer compliance behavior. This study aims to identify and analyze these factors, providing a better understanding of why taxpayers in Kontagora LGA may or may not comply with tax obligations.

While various factors likely contribute to this issue, little research has been conducted to identify the specific influences on taxpayer compliance behavior in the area.
