Background of the Study
Income inequality remains a significant issue in many local governments, including Ikara LGA, where a sizable portion of the population lives below the poverty line. Taxation, particularly progressive taxes, has long been proposed as a tool for redistributing wealth and reducing income inequality. This study aims to investigate how taxation can serve as an effective tool for reducing income inequality in Ikara LGA, examining the types of taxes implemented, their progressivity, and their impact on the wealth distribution in the region.
Statement of the Problem
Income inequality in Ikara LGA is persistent, with a wide gap between the wealthy and the disadvantaged. Despite the potential of tax policies to mitigate this disparity, there is limited research on how tax systems in the region can effectively address income inequality. This study will explore how local taxation strategies can reduce income inequality in Ikara LGA and assess whether current tax policies are achieving this goal.
