The taxation of the digital economy is a dynamic and ongoing process, as governments and international
organizations navigate the complexities of taxing digital transactions and inabilities in ensuring a level playing
field for all businesses, and the issue of digital tax avoidance has emerged as a concern, despite efforts by various
countries around the world by implementing some measures like digital services taxes to ensure that digital
companies contribute their fair share of taxes. Based on these unending issues, the study therefore, the aims to
examine the impact of taxation of digital economy on tax implications for businesses operating in Nigeria. The
study adopted a cross-sectional survey research design and the population of the study consisted of 350
stakeholders in Nigeria, including employees of the Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS) and employees of the
top 32 startups in Nigeria as of 2022. Random sampling technique was employed to quantitatively select a sample
of 187 senior employees of both FIRS and startups businesses in Nigeria. The primary data obtained was analyzed
using a Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. This study found that taxation of
digital economy has no significant impact on tax implications for business operating in Nigeria as shown by tvalues
of 0.944 with p-value of 0.345 at 5% level of significance. The study concludes that taxation of digital
economy has no influence in enhancing tax implications in Nigeria. The study recommends that governments should
maintain their investment in capacity building and expertise development for tax authorities and practitioners
working with digital companies, as this would enhance tax compliance and enforcement within the digital economy.

OPTIMIZING FISCAL AUTONOMY IN DEVELOPING STATES: THE INTERPLAY OF TAX ADMINISTRATION STRATEGIES AND REVENUE PERFORMANCE.
(DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS NIGERIA POLICE ACADEMY, WUDIL-KANO, 2026) Abdul-Hakeem Oluwole Shuaib; Mudathir Akanni Babatunde
Optimizing internally generated revenue (IGR) is critical for the fiscal autonomy of sub-national governments in
Nigeria. However, state tax authorities consistently face revenue underperformance due to administrative
inefficiencies. This study evaluates the impact of tax administration strategies on revenue performance within the
Kwara State Internal Revenue Service (KWIRS), Nigeria. It examines four dimensions: tax registration
efficiency, taxpayer awareness, strategic tax incentives, and electronic tax filing systems. The study adopts a
descriptive and causal research design. Primary data is gathered via structured questionnaires administered to
a purposive sample of KWIRS officials and taxpayers across its area offices. Analysis is anchored on
Institutional Capacity Theory and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), utilizing descriptive statistics and
multiple regression analysis to test the variables. The framework addresses critical bottlenecks, including
database under-registration, low voluntary compliance due to information asymmetry, incentive-driven revenue
leakages, and digital infrastructure gaps. The study underscores that maximizing sub-national tax yields
requires transitioning from manual tracking to an integrated framework that balances structural enforcement
with administrative service delivery. Optimizing registration, awareness, incentives, and digital infrastructure is
vital to expanding the tax net, minimizing collection costs, and securing long-term fiscal independence for
Kwara State.

EXAMINING THE NEXUS BETWEEN SUPPLIERS’ RELATIONSHIP AND ORGANISATIONAL PERFORMANCE OF LISTED MANUFACTURING FIRMS IN LAGOS, NIGERIA
(Department of Accounting, Faculty of Management Science (FMS), Modibbo Adama University (MAU) Yola, 2022) Mustapha Muhammed Basiru; Ibrahim Salaudeen; Shuaib Abdul-Hakeem; Idris Benuh Adama
This study examined the influence of supplier relationships on performance
measurement of quoted manufacturing firms in Lagos state, Nigeria. Specifically,
the influence of supplier relationships on the financial and non-financial performance
measurements of quoted manufacturing firms was examined. The need for this study
stemmed from sourcing for alternative financing of businesses, other than debt
financing from debtors/suppliers of a given firm, especially those in the
manufacturing sector, therefore, there is a need to investigate the effect of suppliers’
relationship on the overall performance of manufacturing firms. The data for this
study were collected based on a purposive sampling technique and 188 responses
were captured. Results were analysed using PLS-SEM and Smart PLS 4 software.
The result of the hypothesized paths showed that supplier’s relationship has a strong
influence on both financial and non-financial performances based on the strength of
the relationships and the effect sizes. The findings of this study imply that
relationship with suppliers is of utmost importance, giving its overall influence on
access to raw materials, and related input materials upon which other firm activities
depend in the manufacturing sector. In essence, the relationship maintained with the
firm’s suppliers has significant effects on the overall organizational performance.

(Inaba University, Bandung, City, West Java, Indonesia, 2025) Yusuf Alabi Olumoh; Mubaraq Sanni; Abdulrasaq Mustapha; Abdullahi Taiwo Abdulrasheed; Shuaib Abdul-Hakeem Oluwole; Mubarak Olayiwola Sanni
Tax compliance remains a significant challenge in developing economies, where inadequate tax strategies and weak enforcement mechanisms hinder effective revenue generation and economic development. Given the issues, this study aims to examine the impact of tax strategies on tax compliance in South-West Nigeria. Specifically, the study seeks to: assess the effect of tax planning strategies on tax compliance, evaluate the influence of compliance and risk management strategies on tax compliance, investigate the impact of tax avoidance strategies on tax compliance, and determine the moderating effect of regulatory enforcement on the relationship between tax strategies and tax compliance in South-West Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted, targeting a population of 159,000 taxpayers and 8,818 SIRS staff with a sample size of 399 and 383 respondents. Data was analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to establish relationships among the study variables. The findings reveal that tax planning and compliance and risk management strategies positively influence tax compliance, while tax avoidance strategies negatively impact compliance. The study concludes that effective tax planning and robust compliance measures can enhance adherence to tax regulations, with regulatory enforcement playing a crucial role in strengthening compliance efforts. It recommends that tax authorities in South-West Nigeria implement stronger regulatory frameworks, improve taxpayer education, and leverage digital tools to monitor and mitigate tax avoidance practices, thereby fostering a more compliant tax environment.
