INTRODUCTION
Several
attempts have been made to offer a comprehensive definition of tax or what
taxation really means this individual have come up with different definition of
tax, which have the same meaning.
According
to the encycolopedia Britannia it said, tax is the compulsory levy that is
designate for a special purpose. It is regarded as a contribution to the
general revenue pool from which most government expenditure are financed.
David
W. Peurce in the Macmillan dictionary of modern economic gave this definition also,
tax is the transfer of resources from the private to the public sector in order
to accomplish some of the nation economic and social goals. It is a compulsory
levy by the government of the country through an approval agent usually the Federal
Board of Inland Revenue (FBIR) against the income or wealth of partnership,
company or individuals.
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Taxes
are the most important source of the government revenue and the major means of
financing government activities for the benefit of the citizen of different countries.
Tax play a relative minor role in the ancient word for instance, consumption
wee levied on Greece and Rome.
These
not worth tax were confirmed to real property but they were later extended to
other element of net worth. Taxes are used as a means of raising additional
fund. In time of war, taxes of net worth are usually temporarily imposed. Real
estate transactions were also taxed. In Greece,
free citizen had different tax obligation from slaves and in Rome the tax law differs between national and
residents of conquered territories.
Taxation
come unto existence at different data at various part of the world. In Nigeria
it was in 1904, in the early days government impose tax on raise revenue only
to cover the cost of administration and defense such as the maintenance of low
and other home, takes are no longer imposed merely to cover unavoidable cost of
service provided by the state.

STATEMENT
OF THE PROBLEM
This
research work is based on the appraisal of Nigeria taxation, its aim objective
and contribution to the economy. There are many problems militating against the
aims and objectives of tax there by hindering its positive contribution to the
economy.
However,
the following problem will be examined in this research so as to appraise the Nigeria
taxation system.
·
Lack of information on the research for tax
·
There are no enough qualified staff for the tax
collection to carry out the tax drive in order to generate revenue
·
Many limited liability company’s are difficu1lt
if not impossible to be assessed because of improper books of accounts
·
Mismanagement of government find by those at
the corridors of power kills the enthusiasm of the citizens to fulfill their
circle responsibility of paying tax,
·
Inadequate provision of social amenities for
which tax revenue is supposed to be means for.
1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The
objectives of Nigeria
taxation try to point out what the Nigeria tax system stands to
achieve. The principal objective is to raise revenue to finance government expenditure.
This is still the primary objectives, but since 1940, government has also used
different level of taxation as an important way of influencing the activities
of economy as a whole.
Tax
policy provides a mechanism for customers demand for providing incentive for
production, investment and savings.
It
is thus, a way factor of promoting the government over all economics and social
objective for objective.
For
example, taxation is used nowadays to achieve economic growth to fight
depression, inflation and deflation to achieve equitable distribution of income
and wealth of the nation. Also to allocate revenue in socially desirable manner,
to discourage the consumption of certain within the country and to ensure that
the balances of payment of the country is in a healthy position.
1.4 SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The
focus of this research project is to cover the Federal Board of Inland Revenue (FBIR)
Ilorin area
office and will be limited to it. There is the problem of non availability of
adequate and reliable information and statistical data for the study. Some of
the official and staff of Federal Board of Inland Revenue claimed that they had
no time to answer questions while some hide under the pretext of not wanting to
release official document.
Also
the unwillingness to allow me have access to some of their records the stamp
duty and capital gain collection were not available.
Another
major element is limitation of the time constraints and finance which are also
vital elements in any research project inspite of the above the researcher have
endeavoured to provide a good research work.
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The
study is important to the general public and government, it will educate people
more about the importance of taxation to the economy i.e. since 60% of
government revenue is from the resource available in the country while the
remaining percentage is from taxation for development and provision of
infrastructure and as such government should encourage people to pay their
taxes accordingly. It will contribute to one’s knowledge as to the problem
faced in collecting taxes and possible ways out of such shorts comings.
