Background of the Study
Agricultural tax policies are crucial in shaping the economic environment for rural farmers. In Tarka LGA, agricultural policies play a pivotal role in determining the income levels, productivity, and sustainability of smallholder farmers. While taxes are necessary for generating revenue for public goods and services, overly burdensome tax policies can negatively impact agricultural productivity by reducing farmers' disposable income and investment in farming activities.
This study seeks to assess the effects of agricultural tax policies on rural farmers in Tarka LGA, focusing on how these policies influence their economic conditions, productivity, and overall livelihoods. Understanding these effects will help policymakers create more farmer-friendly tax policies that can boost agricultural growth while ensuring sufficient revenue generation for local governments.

Agricultural tax policies in Tarka LGA may not be effectively supporting rural farmers, either due to their design or implementation. This study investigates the effects of agricultural tax policies on the economic well-being of rural farmers in Tarka LGA and offers insights into improving these policies.
