Abstract
This work investigates the impact of social norms on tax compliance among taxpayers in Edo State, Nigeria, based on the analysis presented in chapters 4 and 5. Through a comprehensive examination of the data collected from 100 respondents using structured questionnaires, the study reveals significant positive relationships between various social norms—personal, injunctive, subjective, and descriptive—and tax compliance intention. The findings highlight the crucial role that personal beliefs, perceived societal expectations, peer influence, and observed behaviors of others play in shaping taxpayer behavior. Practical recommendations are offered for tax authorities to leverage these social norms effectively in promoting tax compliance, including tailored awareness campaigns, peer influence programs, community engagement initiatives, and educational interventions. Furthermore, avenues for future research are outlined to explore longitudinal trends, cross-cultural variations, and deeper qualitative insights into taxpayer motivations. This research contributes valuable insights to the field of tax compliance and offers actionable strategies for policymakers aiming to enhance compliance rates and foster fiscal responsibility.
