Implementing the Sustainable Development Goals in Nigeria: Barriers, Prospects, and Strategies
Open accessAbstract
Literature has shown that Nigeria has an exceptionally low rate of tax compliance and with the increasing decline in oil revenue, it has become imperative for the government to focus on tax in other to meet its obligations to the people and equally meet up with sustainable development goals (SDGs). Taxes remain a reliable means through which governments can generate funds required to provide goods and services. However, arguments over tax abuses and inadequate tax policies with persistent corporate tax scandals and the continuous use of tax havens by elites continue to gain prominence in Nigeria. It is imperative that existing tax policies and practices work to end any form of structural discrimination. This chapter advocates the need to strengthen tax laws for optimal contribution to economic growth and equally promote SDGs in Nigeria

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
