Data were collected from 175 Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) employees in Osun State using a survey design. Key findings revealed a significant positive correlation (r=0.506, p<0.05) between tax avoidance, evasion, and the challenges faced in tax administration. Regression analysis showed that 57.7% of the variability in personal income tax administration is explained by these practices (R² =0.577, F=118.76, p<0.05), emphasising that high tax rates encourage avoidance and evasion (B= 0.65, p<0.05). The study concludes that balanced tax policies, improved enforcement mechanisms, and taxpayer education are essential to curbing non-compliance and enhancing administrative efficiency. %C MISC %G en %9 Zeitschriftenartikel %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
