ABSTRACT

The main aim of study is to examine the effect of petroleum  profit  tax on economic growth  in Nigeria.  The problems   with  Nigerian  economy  have  been  traced  to failure  of successive governments to utilize oil revenue and excess crude oil income  in  the  development   of  other  sectors   of  the  economy   effectively   and efficiently.   The ex-post facto   research  design  was  adopted  and  data  collected from  secondary  sources.   The collected  data was analyzed  using  ordinary  least square   technique.   The  result   revealed   that  actual  petroleum   profit   tax  has significant  effect  on economic  growth.    The result also revealed  that,  budgeted petroleum  profit  tax has a significant  effecton economic  growth.  There is a good relationship   between   the  dependent   variable   GDP  and  independent   variable petroleum   profit    tax.   Finally,    there   is  a  significant    relationship    between petroleum  profit  tax and total revenue  in Nigeria.    Conclusively,   based  on the findings  of the study, PPT has a positive  impact on growth  after a considerable lag. All the variables  are statistically  significant.   The countries  that performed PPT   have   a  more  per  capita   GDP  level   and  are   less  dependent  on  the international  trade. It is recommended  that government  should  transparently  and judiciously  account for  the revenue  it generates  through PPT by investing  in the provision  of infrastructure  and public  goods and services.  It is expected  that the more  effectively   and  efficiently revenue   is  utilized   by  Government   to  create growth,  employment  opportunities  and wealth  in the economy,  the more willing taxpayers  would  be to meet  their obligations  to the Government  and discharge their duties  in the overriding  goal of achieving  National  Development.   Finally, for   the  PPT  policy  to  have  a    more  significant   impact  on  the  revenue  and economic  development  of Nigeria,  Government  should  minimize  or find ways of eliminating   totally  the  widespread   corruption   and  leakages   in  the petroleum profit   tax administration.
