Background of the Study
Tax education involves equipping taxpayers with the knowledge and skills needed to understand and fulfill their tax obligations. For SMEs in Kaduna State, tax education plays a crucial role in improving compliance levels and fostering a positive relationship between businesses and tax authorities (Aliyu & Musa, 2024).
Despite its importance, tax compliance among SMEs in Kaduna State remains low due to limited awareness of tax laws, the complexity of tax systems, and mistrust in government. Studies have shown that effective tax education programs can enhance compliance by addressing knowledge gaps and changing attitudes toward taxation (Bello & Adamu, 2025).
Statement of the Problem
Low tax compliance among SMEs in Kaduna State is largely attributed to inadequate tax education. This has led to widespread tax evasion, reduced government revenue, and financial penalties for SMEs. While tax authorities have initiated education programs, their effectiveness remains unclear due to poor implementation and limited reach.
Objectives of the Study
-
To assess the level of tax education among SMEs in Kaduna State.
-
