Background of the Study
Inflation is a significant challenge faced by many local governments, including Jema’a LGA. One of the contributing factors to inflation is taxation, particularly if tax rates increase rapidly, affecting the cost of goods and services. This study aims to analyze how various tax contributions, such as sales taxes, excise duties, and VAT, influence inflationary trends in Jema’a LGA. By identifying the specific taxes that drive inflation, this study will provide valuable insights into managing tax policies to control inflation.
