Liability accounting has a pivotal role in enhancing tax revenues by improving transparency, efficiency, and fairness in the tax system. It also contributes to channeling these revenues towards projects that support the Sustainable Development Goals, promoting long-term economic, social, and environmental growth. By adopting the principles of accountability of responsibility, it enables governments to balance increased tax revenues with sustainable development. Liability accounting is an important tool to enhance tax revenues and support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. SDGs) by enhancing transparency, accountability, and efficiency in the management of public resources, they can contribute to the development of tax revenues as a major resource of the budget, and thus direct them towards sustainable development projects. The research showed that enhancing transparency in accountability would help improve the management of public resources, including tax collection and spending.
