ABSTRACT
This Paper examines the problems associated with the Assessment and Administration of Personal Income Tax on Motorcycle riders in (UMUGUMA) Owerri West LGA Metropolis. The study uses descriptive survey to analyze the data. The paper utilizes the stratified random sampling technique in selecting. Two hundred motorcycle riders were randomly selected.
The main findings of the research are that, tax officials lack adequate training and experience in carrying out their assignment. Similarly, shortage of staff, payment default on Direct Assessment Tax System (DATS), insufficient financial resources available to the tax authority and lack of Political will on the part of Government in enforcing the tax laws were also found to affect the revenue generation drive of the State. The paper recommends that the State Government in conjunction with the tax authority should embark on proper recruitment, training and development of staff, provide good remuneration packages to tax officials, provision of adequate working facilities, and embark on massive enlightenment of the taxpayers on the importance of tax payment. This, it is believed, will enhance the revenue generation of the State, by bringing in hitherto none tax payers into the tax-paying circle. Finally, the paper strongly recommends a form of Personal Income Tax on Motor cycle (Umuguma) riders, as it is a promising Industry that could assist the State in terms of revenue generation.
