Background of the Study
Tax administration is a vital aspect of local government revenue generation. The adoption of Accounting Information Systems (AIS) can enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and transparency of tax collection, ensuring that LGAs can maximize revenue while minimizing errors and fraud. This study will explore the role of AIS in improving tax administration processes in selected local government areas (LGAs).
Statement of the Problem
Many local governments face challenges in tax administration, including inefficient tax collection, poor record-keeping, and tax evasion. AIS offers the potential to automate and streamline these processes, but the extent of its implementation and effectiveness in improving tax administration has not been adequately explored.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
Aim: To evaluate the role of Accounting Information Systems in enhancing tax administration in selected LGAs.
Objectives:
To assess the current tax administration practices in selected LGAs.
To examine the effectiveness of AIS in improving tax collection, transparency, and compliance.
To identify challenges faced by LGAs in adopting AIS for tax administration.
Research Questions
How is tax administration currently conducted in selected LGAs?
To what extent does the implementation of AIS enhance the efficiency of tax collection in LGAs?
What challenges do LGAs face in adopting AIS for tax administration?
Research Hypothesis
H₀: AIS does not significantly improve tax administration efficiency in selected LGAs.
H₀: The adoption of AIS does not significantly enhance tax compliance in selected LGAs.
Significance of the Study
The study will provide insights into how AIS can be used to improve tax administration, helping LGAs enhance their revenue generation and ensure financial sustainability. The findings will be useful to policymakers, tax authorities, and local governments looking to modernize their tax administration systems.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on selected LGAs with varying levels of AIS adoption for tax administration. Limitations may include access to data on tax collection performance and resistance to sharing operational details of tax systems.
