Abstract

Taxation is a major source of revenue for every government of countries around the world. In which the government can be able to generate revenue to finance its expenditure on funding infrastructures and providing basic goods and services to the people in the economy. Fluctuation in the rates of taxes either increases or decreases occurred because the government is attempting to either generate government revenue or to control the economic growth. The main objective of the study was to measure the effect of income tax on the public. The research approach used in this study was the quantitative approach. A convenience sampling technique was used for this study. The sample size is 50. When there is inflation tax rates increase and there are negative effects that come along with it and were faced by the taxpayers since the amount of money to be paid for as tax increases. Therefore in this study, we are going to look at the negativities caused by increased tax rates and were faced by the taxpayers. The study recommends that the government has to apply a strategic plan to reduce the negative impact of taxation. Key Words: Developing Nation, Taxation, Tax Rates, Income Tax, Goods and Services Tax, Tax Effects, Economic Stability
