Background of the Study
Tax compliance is essential for the financial health of local governments and the successful implementation of development programs. In Kafin Hausa LGA, tax compliance remains a challenge, influenced by both social and economic factors. Social determinants such as public perception of the fairness of the tax system, trust in local government institutions, and community norms, as well as economic factors such as income levels and employment status, play significant roles in shaping taxpayer behavior.
This study aims to analyze the social and economic determinants that influence tax compliance behavior in Kafin Hausa LGA. Understanding these factors will enable local government authorities to design more effective strategies to improve tax compliance and revenue generation.
