From the result of the analysis, result finding evidently shows that personal tax evasion has a significant negative implication for socio-economic development of Nigeria. It was found that there is high rate of evasion among tax pay and this needed to be curbed. Hence, it is recommended that Government should make policies that make it easy for all sundry to pay their tax duties without feeling the burden.
