Background of the Study
Educational institutions play a vital role in promoting tax literacy, which can enhance voluntary compliance and contribute to a culture of tax responsibility. In Nigeria, Lagos State University (LASU) is one of the prominent institutions with the potential to influence tax education, particularly through its academic programs, workshops, and collaborations with tax authorities (Ogunbayo & Adebayo, 2024).
Tax literacy involves not only understanding the technical aspects of tax law but also appreciating the socio-economic role of taxes in national development. Despite the importance of tax education, many Nigerians, including students, remain uninformed about their tax obligations, leading to low levels of tax compliance (Ajayi & Fakeye, 2023). Educational institutions like LASU are in a unique position to bridge this knowledge gap, as they have access to a large number of students who will eventually become taxpayers and business owners.
This study explores the role of LASU in promoting tax literacy, evaluating its initiatives and their impact on students’ understanding and attitudes toward taxation.
Statement of the Problem
Despite efforts by various stakeholders, tax literacy in Nigeria remains low, particularly among the youth. Lagos State University, as an academic institution, has the capacity to contribute significantly to improving tax knowledge and fostering a culture of compliance. However, the effectiveness of its initiatives in promoting tax literacy remains under-researched (Olawale & Okunola, 2024).
This study seeks to investigate the role of LASU in promoting tax literacy and evaluate the effectiveness of its programs in shaping students’ attitudes toward taxation.
