iiG Briefing Paper 24. Encouraging tax compliance in the informal sector
Abstract
Recent iiG research looks at the relationship between taxation and state-society relations in Lagos State, Nigeria. By focusing on non-PAYE informal sector market traders and professionals it examines how taxpayers think of Lagos State and what they expect from it. We conducted semi-structured interviews and focus groups with thirteen informal sector professionals and eleven market traders, to explore taxpayer perceptions as a key factor in building tax systems that are publicly supported and that can help to boost government revenue.
