ABSTRACT
This study sought to examine the impact of income tax on revenue generation of Ebonyi State from 2000 to 2015. The data were sourced from Annual Report of CBN statistical bulletin, National Bureau of Statistics, Joint Tax Board and State board of Internal Revenue and were analyzed with correlation coefficient and simple regression model. The result shows that Income tax has no significant impact on total internal generated revenue of Ebonyi State but there is positive relationship between income tax and revenue generation of Ebonyi State It was recommended that Ebonyi State government should map out strategy on how to get the tax from the citizen and educate most of the citizen on the need to pay their personal income taxes because of the immense benefit to the growth of the state. This enlightenment should be targeted at the operators in the informal sector who are not captured by the PA YE [Pay as you earn] tax approach.
