Internal Revenue Board at Ado-Ekiti. The sampling was randomly selected. The
sample size chosen comprises of ten (10) staffs of the two departments.
The
findings indicate that, while some Personal Income Tax payers avoid tax payment
others display technicality in reducing tax payable. The conclusion shows that
an average of 77.57% of tax was from Personal Income Tax and an average 76.38%
of tax was from PAYE. There is high return from Personal Income Tax because
P.A.Y.E is difficult to evade but the contribution from Direct Assessment is
minute.
