An Assessment of Revenue Generation Benefits: Perception of Street Hawkers in Damaturu Metropolis, Nigeria

Ibrahim Hussaini Usman Alhaji Audu Ali Alhaji Isa

Subject area: Management and Commerce  ·  Area of research: Accounting and Finance

Abstract

The research was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics, which supported the research in generalizing and generating conclusions. The study is focused on the benefits that the street vendor receives from the government-generated tax. The distribution of questionnaires, interviews, and focus group discussions (FGD) to respondents from the sampled study region inside the city served as the data collection tool for this particular research. The collected data was then analyzed in a statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). Hawkers within the streets of the city were the research's target population and the information gathered were analyzed using a tool.The study found that raising money and putting it to use had a significant emotional impact on how the average person lives. It is advised that the government clearly identify the core objectives of its tax system and how those objectives connect to one another in order to decrease the prevalence of tax evasion and avoidance. This will provide tax administrators a sense of direction and educate taxpayers about the significance of paying their taxes on time, especially those who are ignorant of how much tax they are liable for. Additionally, those who fail to pay their taxes on time should face harsh penalties.
