ABSTRACT
The work was on the impact of taxation on foreign direct investment in Nigeria (1970-2009), dealing with secondary data from the Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) and the National Bureau of Statistics. Regression analysis with (OLS) technique was used. Our findings indicate that there is a positive correlation between government expenditure, manufacturing output, inflation and foreign direct investment (FDI). Petroleum represents a very important mineral in Nigeria economy. The economic well-being of the citizenry is now completely dependent on petroleum. This means that petroleum touches every facet of human life in Nigeria. However, company tax was negatively correlated. Based on these findings, we found out that taxation has contributed insignificantly to foreign direct investment (FDI) and therefore recommend that, government intensifies efforts towards positive fiscal policy reform by encouraging foreign direct investment (FDI) through low corporate tax rates and identify and implement instruments including control of inflation that encourage
foreign direct investment.
