research questions were raised for the study while survey design was adopted
for the study with a sample size of forty-two. The questionnaire was the main
instrument used for data collection The data collected was subjected to simple
validity and reliability test. The analysis of the data was based on
statistical frequency table and chi-square (X2) was used to test the level of
significance. Some of the finding of the research work are - voluntary
compliance by taxpayer is very low due to ignorance, the self employed usually
evade tax, most tax payers do not know the basis of their tax assessment thus
their relationship with tax authorities is hostile. Based on the above findings,
recommendation are made such as - the government should exercise the will power
to enforce tax laws fully, there should be legislation to close the existing
loopholes in the tax laws to minimize tax • avoidance, tax authorities should
organize enlightenment campaign to enlighten tax payers about tax laws guiding
the Nigerian tax system.
