Background of the Study
Micro-enterprises are critical to the economic development of many localities in Nigeria, particularly in regions such as Kura LGA. These small businesses play a vital role in providing employment, generating income, and fostering local economic growth. However, the impact of taxation on micro-enterprises is often a topic of debate. While taxes are crucial for the revenue generation of local governments, they can also impose financial burdens on small businesses that are still in the process of growth and stabilization. This study will examine the effect of taxation on the performance and sustainability of micro-enterprises in Kura LGA, focusing on how taxation influences business operations, profitability, and growth.
Statement of the Problem
In Kura LGA, micro-enterprises face several challenges, including limited access to capital, inadequate infrastructure, and high operating costs. The role of taxation in either alleviating or exacerbating these challenges remains unclear. Taxation can serve as a source of revenue for local governments but may also strain the financial stability of micro-enterprises if not properly structured. This study aims to investigate the effect of taxation on the performance of micro-enterprises in Kura LGA and understand the relationship between tax policies and business sustainability in the region.
