Inspite of this vital impact, administration of tax in the state has been very poor and discourage among the challenging problem facing this state government board of internal revenue is that the majority people in the state, especially, the rich evade taxes. The poor management of the state board internal contributed of lion share to the evasion, hence, it’s become difficult for the state government to generate enough revenue form this very important revenue sources.
