Résumé
Le succès de toute initiative de génération de recette fiscale menée par le gouvernement dépend de l’adhésion des résidents de la région où ce projet a lieu. Par conséquent, un tel projet doit sa survie à la façon dont ces résidents perçoivent la question de l’impôt. Cette étude examine donc l’influence de la perception que les résidents ont sur le régime d’impôt foncier instauré dans différents quartiers résidentiels de la ville d’Ogbomoso, située dans l’État d’Oyo, au Nigeria. Deux des dix circonscriptions administratives représentant les trois quartiers résidentiels de la ville ont été retenues dans l’échantillon. Deux cent trente et un occupants de logements ont été sélectionnés à l’aide de la méthode d’échantillonnage aléatoire systématique. L’étude a permis d’identifier que, bien que la situation socio- économique des habitants présente des variations dans les différents quartiers résidentiels, il n’y avait pas de différence significative dans leurs perceptions de cet impôt foncier. Bien que le degré de conscience de l’existence de la taxe et la proportion de résidents ayant déjà payé la taxe de résidents aient progressé de la zone résidentielle de base pour s’étendre vers la banlieue, une proportion inverse de résidents a soutenu les raisons qui ont justifié cette taxe. L’étude a conclu que pour une meilleure adhésion des habitants, cette taxe devrait être présentée comme des frais additionnels prélevés pour les services offerts et que les perceptions négatives actuelles des résidents changeraient si les services offerts assuraient un minimum de satisfaction aux résidents.
