CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1  BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

It has been widely believed that every nation, irrespective of its status in the global economy aspires a major goal and enhances the economic well being of its citizens within it’s area of jurisdiction.  The nations goal can only be achieved through economic growth and development, which is attended by provision of social amenities.  Since the responsibilities and duties of every government is quite enormous, however, the problem remains how does the government generate resources to fund their activities.

The government being a non-profit making organization by nature does not make profit and so needs to generate revenue from tax and other revenue.  A tax system should encourage efficient and full use of a nation productive capacity without hinder allocation of resources.  It should yield the revenue needed to finance whatever government operation decided on without hindering economic growth and stability.

There are two major kinds of tax.  The direct and indirect tax.  In direct taxation, it is a kind of tax that imposed directly upon or on the property of the person paying the tax.  In the case of indirect taxation, the payer is different from the person who bears the burden of the tax.  Under indirect tax VAT comes in when taxes have been imposed on goods and services and the burden is transferred to another, most levies are paid which the Value Added Tax proceeds.  In realization of the above, the study group on indirect taxation recommend the introduction of VAT in 1993 by the Vat Decree 102 of 1993.  this Decree was executed on 1stSeptember 1994.  Value Added Tax replaced sale tax and was introduced as a means of generating additional on oil revenue.  Thus, for the government to meet growing public expenditure in the short run, it can only be derived from taxation hence the introduction of VAT.

1.2   STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM AND PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

Tax from time immemorial has been the major source of revenue in Nigeria, but when we reflect back on efficiency and effectiveness of taxation system we could easily see that tax has met with a number of difficulties in Nigeria especially in the area of tax evasion and avoidance.  Because of this problem militating against the tax system in Nigeria and problems peculiar to Vat administration policy, the federal government in 1991 set up a study group which was led by Sylvester Ugo to recommend the introduction of VAT in Nigeria.  Also in 1992, a modified Valued Added Tax committee led by TAE B.I. Ijewere was set up to carry out feasibility study on the implementation of Vat and how to solve the problem in Nigeria.

What I want to investigate is the problem in administration of Vat in Nigeria.  Why Vat is so difficult in administering in Nigeria economy.  They are:

1. Evaluate the extent of coverage in the country.

2. Suggest on how Vat can be          administered in the country.

3. Highlight the administration, efficiency and effectiveness of VAT in Nigeria.

1.3   RATIONALE OF THE STUDY

If this study is successful conducted it will enhance efficient administration of Vat in Nigeria and also see that all the problems hindering Vat administration will stop in Nigeria.  For the more, if this study is successful conducted more income will be generate from VAT which will help to improve the economy of Nigeria.

1.4  SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

Vat is one of the fiscal policy by government to generate funds for the welfare service of the population.  The significance of the research helps to explain the various Vat activities and access the extent to which they have been administered.  It also shade light on the efficiency and effectiveness of the administration of Vat and its benefit in Nigeria.  Vat is a tax imposed on consumable goods and services.  It has a built in self-assessment mechanism that allow a business to claim credit for tax paid on it’s input such as withholding tax.
