Background of the Study
Taxation in the transport sector is an essential revenue source for governments but can significantly influence the performance and sustainability of businesses. In Nigeria, transport companies face multiple taxes, including value-added tax (VAT), vehicle licensing fees, and corporate income tax, which can affect operational efficiency and profitability (Eze, 2023).
The Abuja Bus Service, a key player in the public transportation sector, operates under stringent tax obligations, which impact its financial performance. This study evaluates the effect of taxation policies on the business performance of Abuja Bus Service, examining tax burdens, compliance costs, and profitability trends.
Statement of the Problem
High taxation levels can pose significant challenges for transportation companies, leading to increased operational costs and reduced profitability. For the Abuja Bus Service, balancing tax compliance with financial performance remains a critical issue (Ojo & Adebayo, 2024).
While taxation is necessary for public revenue generation, excessive tax burdens may discourage business growth and sustainability. This study addresses the gap in understanding the specific impact of transport sector taxation on business performance in Nigeria.
