The paper analyzed the impact of taxation on economic development in Nigeria as it concerns value-added tax (VAT), Company Income Tax (CIT) and Petroleum Profit Tax (PPT). For the purpose of this study, the major source of data was a secondary source. Data were collected from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin and Federal Inland Revenue Services. The data collected were analyzed with Ordinary Least Square Multiple Linear Regressions since there were more than two variables. The analysis revealed that all the independent variables (VAT, CIT and PPT) used in this study have a significant positive relationship on the dependent variable (GDP), which is used to measure economic development while value-added tax, company income tax, and petroleum profit tax were used to measure taxation. It was therefore recommended that the government should extend its database to capture all tax revenue by employing practically and technically oriented professionals. Results also imply it is recommended for the government to foster a favorable environment for young entrepreneurs to initiate and grow businesses that will lead to an increase in tax revenue for the government. It was also recommended that social science, which is the umbrella that covers management sciences, should be employed to manage businesses so as to ensure the survival of businesses and boast the nation’s revenue through tax, as it concerns training having an impact on resources utilization and allocation, thus promoting profit maximization.

This study investigated the impact of taxation on economic development of Nigeria from 2003 to 2017.Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) unit root test, Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds test, Jarque-Bera Normality Test and Eigenvalue stability condition were utilised in this study. The study revealed that companies’ income tax, petroleum profit and value added tax have a long run impact of -0.225(p-value=0.000),-0.0005 (p-value=0.699), and 0.211(p-value=0.000) respectively on the economic development of Nigeria.It was concluded that taxation has a significant long run relationship with Nigeria’s economic development. The study recommended that the government should not increase companies’ income tax rate because it is detrimental to the economic development of the country in the long run, instead the government should increase the value added tax because it has the potentiality to improve economic development of Nigeria.

ABSTRACT           Value-added tax is everywhere; it is in the most of goods and services we purchase. Take for instance; when we go to the salon to get our hair done, when we gas up our car, vat is also included in what we pay.  In the Philippines, the value-added tax is a form of sales tax. It is a tax on the consumption levied on the sale, barter exchange, or lease of goods, properties, and services in the Philippines, and on importation of goods into the country, it is an indirect tax that may be shifted or passed into the buyer transferring lease of goods, properties or services. While in Nigeria, VAT is a Federal Government Tax that is administered using the existing machinery of the Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS). This study assessed the impact of value-added tax on Enugu Nigeria’s Economy, specifically to Government, Business Organizations, and Consumers, the problems identified, significant relationships, and the solutions recommended. The findings revealed that VAT has a significant impact on business organizations and consumers but positively on the part of the government. Recommendation for the improvement is for the consumer with low average earnings should be exempted in paying the VAT provided however, criteria must be set to exempt them in VAT.

This paper examines the contribution, the effectiveness, and the efficiency of value added tax (VAT) revenue.lt also investigates the variables affecting the value added tax revenue. Using the ratio of VAT revenue to total government expenditures as the measurement of the contribution shows that VAT revenue contribution is 33 percent in average lower than income tax revenue contribution. Meanwhile the effectiveness of VAT is around 3,5 percent, still below the income tax effectiveness. In addition, the c-efficiency ratio is 0.50 in average which means that every 1 point increase in VAT tax rate results in an increase in VAT revenue by 0,50 percent of GDP. Furthermore, using ordinary least square estimation, the VAT revenue is determined by tax base, regulations, and the exemption policy where household and government consumption as tax base have positive and significant effect on VAT whereas previous import has a negative effect on VAT revenue.

The growth in the tax revenue component at the end of March 2020 was still sourced from taxes on household consumption, although tax revenues also still depended on the pressure from the weakening trend in the manufacturing industry and international trade activity, as well as the weakening economic activity of the spread of Covid-19. In line with the existence of regulations related to Work From Home (WFH) for both the government and private sectors, a slowdown in business activities began at the end of March 2020 which reduced the handover of the country which would then enter Domestic Value Added Tax (PPN DN) revenue in the month April 2020. This condition is likely to continue and contract even more in May, considering that in April some regions had implemented Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) in several affected areas. As the going in Indonesia, tax revenue in the first quarter of 2020 was recorded to have contracted or minus up to 2.5%. Several tax instruments after being used for handling Covid-19 are Corporate Income Tax and Import Tax (PDRI) consisting of several types, namely Income Tax (PPh) Article 22 imports, PPh Article 22 Exports, Import Value Added Tax (PPN), and Luxury Goods Sales Tax (PPnBM). The Minister of Finance issued Regulation of the Minister of Finance Number 23 of 2020 (PMK 23 of 2020) Regarding Tax Incentives for Taxpayers Affected by the Covid-19 Virus Outbreak.

This study aims to analyze the tax incentive tax on the realization of tax revenue in 2020 whether it is relevant and can help people ease the economic burden built by the spread of Covid-19 in Indonesia.

The objective of this study is to empirically investigate the effect of tax revenue and years tax reforms on government expenditure in Nigerian. Tax revenue were explained using custom and excise duties, company income tax, value-added tax and tax reforms explained by the years in which reforms took place measured by dummy variables as proxies. In conducting this research, an annual time series data from central bank statistical bulletins and Federal Inland revenue Service of Nigeria spanning from 1994-2017 were employed. The data were tested for stationarity using the Augmented Dicker-Fuller Unit Root Test and found stationary at first difference. The Johansen co-integration test was also conducted and showed that the variables are co-integrated at the 5% level, which implied that there is a long-run relationship between the variables in the model. The presence of co-integration spurred the use of vector error correction model and VEC granger causality to determine the effects and decision for the study objective. Findings revealed that Customs and Excise Duties has positive (3.96) and significant (-8.38) impact on government expenditure at 5% level of significance (t=8.38>1.96), Company Income Tax has negative (-1.25) and significant (2.98) impact on government expenditure at 5% level of significance (t=2.98>1.96), Value added tax has positive (8.54) and significant (3.90) impact on government expenditure at 5% level of significance (t=3.90>1.96) and Tax reforms periods has negative(-3.52E+12) and significant (8.39) impact on government expenditure at 5% level of significance (t=8.39>1.96). The study thus concluded that tax revenue and tax reforms significantly affect the Nigerian economy with the direction of causation running from government revenue to government expenditure, supporting the revenue-spend or tax-spend hypothesis.  It was recommended while seeking to increase its revenue base via tax should also increase their expenditure profile to create a balance with the tax revenue and every other tax reform should be geared towards this balance.
