One of the major functions of any government especially developing countries such as Nigeria in the provision of infrastructure service such as electricity, pipe-born water, Hospitals, schools, Access roads and as well ensure a rise in per capital income poverty alleviation to mention a few.

For these service to be adequately provided government should have enough revenue to finance them.  The task of financing there enough revenue to financing there enormous responsibilities is one of the major problem facing the government. Given the limited resources of government, there is need to carry the citizens (governed) along hence the imposition of tax on all taxable individuals and companies to augument government’s financial position.  To this end, government have always enacted various tax laws and reforms existing ones to stand the taste of time.  They include: income tax management act (ITMA) companies income tax decree (CITD) joint tax board (JB) etc.

All these are aimed at ensuring adhence to Tax payment and discouraging tax evasion and avoidance.

For the purpose of this study, the researcher would be concerned with the impact of taxation as an aid to the economic development of Edo state (Nigeria).

 

1.1     STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

          The first need of any modern government is to generate enough revenue which is indeed the breath of its nostril” Thus taxation is by far the most significant source of revenue for the government.  The ideas Nigeria’s regard payment of tax as a means whereby government raises revenue on herself at the expense of their sweat.

It is good to note that no tax can succeed without the tax payer’s co-operation.  Here, we an ask some thought-provoking question such as what takes taxation such a difficult issue?  Why do people feel cheated when it comes to tax? Is government making judicious use of tax payer’s money?

In view of these questions above this study is going to be carried out to offer solution to them.

We shall also look at the following issues and offer recommendations.

1. Problems affecting the successful operation of tax system in Nigeria

3. Process of tax administration to Nigeria

• Furthermore, the inability of some officials to disclose certain reliable information, which they considered confidential may, also limit the study.


• Finally, the cost of transportation as a result of the incessant fuel scarcity and consequent rise in prices may constrain the movement of the writer,


• Lastly, most of materials that may be needed for this research work are likely going to the hundred due to dealt of   materials by government staff.
