Tax incentives are the encouragement given to firms in form of relief The scheme is a strong fiscal measure which can stimulate investment and savings leading to capital formulation. This capital formed can be used productively resulting to economic and industrial development. Therefore, this study focuses on how these tax incentives can affect growth of manufacturing firms, and to ascertain if individual firms actually decided to go into business because of incentives offered to them.

The secondary data were obtained from an intensive review of related literatures. The survey research design was used for the work. The sample technique adopted for this work is the non-probability sample technique.
