Abstract- Payment of Tax is a compulsory levy by the Government of a country on its citizens to
raise money for the public good. This study examined the mode of Assessment, Collection, and
Accountability of Personal Income Tax in Akwa Ibom State using Uyo Local Government Area as
a case study. The study aimed to ascertain the problems deterring effective tax administration
culminating in the un-realization of budgeted tax revenues in Akwa Ibom State. To achieve
research objectives, primary and secondary data were swotted and research hypotheses
formulated and questionnaires administered accordingly. The research hypotheses were tested
using the Chi-square (χ2) Statistics. The results revealed that the methods and procedures
adopted by the Tax Officers for assessing, collecting and accounting for Personal Income Tax
were not appropriate enough to enhance effective tax administration to bring adequate tax
returns.
