Hence, the taxpayers must have a certain level of tax knowledge and tax literacy in discharging hislher duties as a taxpayer.

The findings indicate that most of the respondents were aware of the implementation of SAS and about 580/0 of the respondents had a high level of understanding of the concept of SAS. The findings revealed that the respondents were in favour of a tax subject be introduced at their faculties. The findings of the study will enable the authorities to review the tax education program in higher learning institutions.
