ABSTRACT
Taxation is one of the major ways of generating Federal Government Revenue in Nigeria. And one of these taxation policies is Value Added Tax (VAT). The use of value added tax in Federal Government Revenue is facing a lot of problems and challenges. It is based on this backg~ound that the researcher attempts to carry out a study on the problems and challenges of value added tax policies as some of revenue to the Federal Government in Nigeria. In carrying out this study, the researcher adopted a sample size of 250 respondents from the population of 700. Questionnaire was the major research instrument as simple percentages were adopted for data analysis, while Rank-Order Correlation was used for hypothesis testing. In the course of the study, the major null hypothesis, which states that value added tax, is not significant as source of revenue for Federal Government and Economic Growth indices was rejected . Rather, the implied alternative was accepted therefore, the study concluded that Value Added Tax is significant, not only as source of Federal Government Revenue in Nigeria, but also as an injector into the indices economic growth and development. Thus, the study recommences the adoption and implementation of value added tax policies in Nigeria for its tremendous contributions to the socio• economic growth and development in Nigeria despite its problems and challenges.
