Abstract

This study examines the nexus of taxation mechanisms and economic growth in Nigeria by using annual time series data for over 30 years, from 1989 to 2019. Companies Income Tax (CIT), Value Added Tax (VAT) and Personal Income Tax (PIT) are the independent variables while Economic Growth (GDP) was the dependent variable. The study utilized regression technique as a tool of analysis. Results show that Companies Income Tax, Value Added Tax and Personal Income Tax are significantly and positively affect the economic growth in Nigeria. It was concluded that the results validated the theory that taxation is an instrument of economic growth in Nigeria. is the study recommends that Nigeria should lower the tax rate in the case of corporate taxation, personal income taxes and social security contributions. More so, tax authorities should further be strengthened to enforce compliance by taxpayers.
