Taxation policies are integral to attracting and retaining Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). In Riyom LGA, the role of taxation policies in influencing foreign investors' decisions to establish businesses or expand operations has not been comprehensively examined. Different taxation strategies, such as tax exemptions, reduced rates, and incentives for foreign investors, could potentially make the LGA more attractive for FDI.
