Background of the Study
Tax collection is an essential function for local government revenue generation and effective service delivery. However, the methods used to collect taxes often differ between urban and rural areas due to variations in infrastructure, population density, and economic activities. In Binji LGA, urban areas may have better access to technological resources and more structured systems for tax collection, whereas rural areas may still rely on traditional methods, which can be less efficient and harder to manage.
This study aims to compare the tax collection methods used in urban and rural areas of Binji LGA, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of each approach and evaluating their effectiveness in generating revenue. Understanding these differences will help local authorities improve tax administration across the LGA.
