TAX ENFORCEMENT STRATEGY: THE ANTIDOTE TO NON-TAX COMPLIANCE IN NORTH-WEST NIGERIA

Voluntary SME tax compliance has been of great interest to governments all over the world, given their unimpressive contribution to total tax revenue. This is even more so in Nigeria where the culture of tax compliance among SMEs can be described as poor, requiring innovative enforcement strategies. This study examined the extent to which tax enforcement strategies served as antidote to non-tax compliance in the North-West Nigeria. The study collected quantitative data from 345 randomly and purposively selected SMEs owners duly registered in North-west, Nigeria. The data was subjected to both descriptive and inferential analysis through techniques of central tendency and multiple regressions. Results revealed that three tax enforcement strategies: Use of tax clearance certificate (β=0.024 < 0.003), grant of tax amnesty (β=0.025< 0.020), and imposition of tax penalty (β = 0.013 < 0.014) have significant positive influence on degree of tax compliance among SMEs in the North-West Nigeria. Given the significant statistical evidence, this research inferred and concluded that deployment of both punitive (tax penalty) and persuasive measures (tax clearance certificate and tax amnesty) serve as antidote to non-tax compliance among the SMEs in the North-West, Nigeria. The study shows that tax compliance across informal sectors can be enhanced beyond the use of legal means. In essence, governments have the leverage of achieving increase in tax revenue in the informal sector through multiple strategies of motivation and punishment as implicitly emphasized in the theory of tax morale and deterrence theory.

The study included nine different treatments: T1 (control treatment without addition), T2 (nisin at a concentration of 150 mg/kg), T3 (potassium sorbate 0.075 g/kg), T4 (sodium lactate 3%), T5 (nisin 150 mg/kg + potassium sorbate 0.075 g/kg), T6 (nisin 150 mg/kg + sodium lactate 3%), T7 (Sodium Lactate 3% + Potassium Sorbate 0.075 g/kg), T8 (Nisin 150 mg/kg + Sodium Lactate 3% + Potassium Sorbate 0.075 g/kg) and T9 (Addition of Butylated hydroxyanisole(BHA 0.01%)). All treatments showed significant (p<0.01) decreases in dry matter percentage of (fat and ash) and increase in protein and moisture and water holding capacity (WHC) percentage as compared with the control treatment at any refrigerated storage time. Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) were lower (P<0.01) in nisin, potassium sorbate and sodium lactate treatments when compared with the control treatment at any refrigerated storage time. Nisin, potassium sorbate and sodium lactate treated samples reduced (P<0.01) the total plate count of bacteria during refrigerated storage times.

The rise of solo dining: prediction and consumer profiling

ABSTRACT The aim of this study is twofold: first, to investigate the factors that affect consumers’ intentions to dine alone, drawing on the theory of planned behavior (TPB); and second, to segment consumers based on their motives for solo dining. The TPB is chosen as the theoretical framework because it is regarded as a comprehensive social-psychological model that can explain an individual’s intentions well. A total of 207 participants from Malaysia completed an online questionnaire using the convenience sampling method. The collected data were subjected to statistical analyses, including partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and cluster analysis. Our findings show that only attitudes have a significant positive influence on intentions. Furthermore, entertainment and economic factors are found to be significant factors of attitudes. Findings from cluster analysis show four diverse groups: enjoyers, economical diners, socializers, and relaxers. This study represents the first attempt to explore consumers’ solo dining intentions through the lens of the theory of planned behavior. Moreover, by identifying four distinct segments of solo dining consumers, the findings offer valuable insights for restaurant owners seeking to effectively target this growing market. Overall, this study not only examines the factors influencing consumers’ solo dining intentions but also segments the types of solo diners, extending the utility of the TPB.

A Study on the Correlation Between LIWC Word Categories and Chinese Composition Writing Performance of Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Grade Students

This study focuses on the analysis of the Chinese composition writing performance of fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students in 16 selected schools in Longhua District, Shenzhen during the spring semester of 2023.
