ABSTRACT
This work "impact of taxation on government revenue and economic development in Nigeria" looks at the main goal of any government as achieving a reasonable degree of economic development. This objective can only be achieved if adequate resources are available, this therefore demands an inquiry into the tax system of Nigeria since taxes are a means of raising
the required resources. This work answers to what extent revenue derived from taxes impact on the economy of Nigeria. The expediency theory was adopted the theory is based on a link between tax liability and state activities. It assumes that the state should charge the members of the society for the services provided by it the ex-post facto method of research was adopted since the data required for the study already exists. Annual time series data for 2005-2014 was used which was sourced from the Federal Inland Revenue Service, World Bank report (2014) and Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin (2014). Among others, it is recommended that taxes should be remitted via an e-payment system or via direct payment into the tax authorities' account as this would support the cashless system being operated in the country, it is also recommended that the tribunal recommended by the Tax act 1993 should be established to reduce cases of tax evasion. Only professionals and trustworthy hands should be engaged in tax administration.
