Background of the Study
Progressive taxation, where the tax rate increases as the taxpayer's income rises, is widely regarded as an effective tool for reducing income inequality and ensuring fair economic distribution. In Dekina LGA, progressive taxation could serve as a means to bridge the growing wealth gap and provide the government with resources to fund public services and infrastructure. This study seeks to examine how progressive taxation is being implemented in Dekina LGA and its potential impact on wealth distribution and social welfare in the region.

While progressive taxation has been proposed as a solution to reduce income inequality, there is limited research on its effectiveness within the context of the local government. This study will explore how progressive taxation impacts the economic disparity in Dekina LGA and assess whether it has been successful in achieving its redistributive goals.
