INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

Taxation can be defined as the money composed by the government on her citizen in order to generate fund so as to meet its expenditure. Taxes are levied so as to accomplish some of nation economic objective of the society. Tax can be a major subject of political controversy throughout history even though they constitute a sizeable share of national income. Introduction of taxation in Nigeria was dictated by the financial need of its colonial administration. Custom duties are against direct taxes were first introduced in southern Nigeria, the northern territory was a convenient place to experiment the system of direct taxation because, the people of the area were used to payment of taxes under the Fulani administration direct taxation was introduced in Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area of Edo state introduced in the north in 1904.

After the amalgamation of northern and southern Nigeria in the year 1914, taxation was also introduced in the western part of Nigeria. The Yoruba and the Binis who are predominant in the area already had well established tax system of taxation. Tax differs from other sources or forms of revenue in that they are compulsory levies and unrequired that is, they are not paid in exchange for some specific things such as sales of public property or the issues of public debt while taxes are presumable collected for the sake of the welfare of tax payer in independent on any benefit received. They are important exception to this characterization. Payroll taxes are commonly levied on labour income in order to finance retirement benefits, medical payment and other social l security programme.

Taxation includes custom duties, excess duties, purchase tax, income tax, cooperation and proportional tax and fiscal policy. This is to generate revenue to the government pursuit. No nation can do well without funds, tax is one of the main source of income for the government, when the national income of a country is high, the per capital income or income per head will also be high. Consequently such a country individual or citizen will enjoy better standard of living. This can lead to economic growth and development. The direct and immediate effect of direct taxation is reduction in income of the person on whom it is levied. This is to say that the higher the personal or company tax, the lower will be the retained income consequently, the lower the possibility of saving. Uniamakogbe (2006).
